Clean Energy Fuels Corp., (NASDAQ: CLNE) CEO Andrew J.
Littlefair today gave his strong support to Senator Jim Inhofe
(R-OK) and the letter he delivered to EPA Administrator Gina
McCarthy, detailing how the EPA should incorporate natural gas
vehicles into remediation efforts when investigating the Volkswagen
diesel emissions issue.
“Senator Inhofe has given the EPA a proven path to significantly
remediate the excess diesel emissions caused by Volkswagen. Natural
gas vehicles with the new ‘Near Zero’ engine, available on the
market today, lower nitrogen oxide emissions by 90 percent or more
over their diesel counterparts, and provide a cost-effective
real-world answer to this challenge. Only a comprehensive solution
including both light duty electric vehicles, and natural gas
vehicles in the medium and heavy-duty trucking markets, will be
able to correct the damage caused to our environment.”
Natural gas fuel costs less per gallon than gasoline or diesel,
depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel
not only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also reduces
greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23%
in medium to heavy-duty vehicles. In addition, nearly all natural
gas consumed in North America is produced domestically.
