Clean Energy Fuels is opening a new gas filling station in Whittier, California, that will serve renewable natural gas (RNG) for heavy-duty trucks and other medium-duty vehicles in the region.

The station is owned by the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, and Clean Energy designed, constructed and will operate it. The station replaces an older facility and features an improved, truck-friendly layout with the ability to dispense fuel three times as fast as the current station.

The new station is expected to dispense over 300,000 gallons per year, a 50 percent increase from the prior facility.

“This new, state-of-the-art station increases access to RNG for heavy-duty Class-8 trucks, allowing more vehicles to take advantage of the cleanest fuel available today,” said Chad Lindholm, vice president, Clean Energy. “We are pleased to partner with LACSD to bring this sustainable fueling solution to the region, as it will allow more fleets to reduce their carbon footprint.”
