VNG Adds CNG Fueling At Two Popular Gasoline Station Locations In Texas; Offers CNG by VNG With Special Price Of $.99 Per Gallon
- VNG opens public retail CNG fueling facilities in Dallas and Houston to support the widespread use of natural gas vehicles throughout Texas
- Locations offer drivers easy access to CNG by VNG in a consumer-friendly environment
BALA CYNWYD, Pa., May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- VNG.Co, LLC announced today the addition of CNG fueling at a Valero-branded gasoline station located at 3411 Antoine Drive in Houston and a Shell-branded gasoline station at 12977 Trinity Blvd. in Euless, outside of Dallas. Both stations feature a full-service convenience store, and the Shell station offers a Subway restaurant as well. To mark the occasion, both locations will offer CNG by VNG for a limited-time promotional price of 99 cents per GGE (gasoline gallon equivalent).
"Texas is leading the nation in transitioning from gasoline to CNG for transportation and VNG is the only company dedicated to making CNG the fuel of choice for fleets and consumers," said Robert Friedman, Chief Operating Officer of VNG. "The addition of these station locations and the promotional offer is an invitation to area fleets and consumers to come see what the future of CNG fueling is all about."
VNG's Texas facilities are part of a multi-city fueling station development program in major US markets to make CNG as convenient as gasoline for drivers of light-duty vehicles such as pickup trucks, vans and passenger cars used by fleets and consumers. VNG plans to open additional retail CNG facilities in the Houston and Dallas metro areas this year. VNG's facilities offer fill times comparable to gasoline and all of the amenities drivers are accustomed to when purchasing fuel, including convenience stores, fast food options, and clean rest rooms. Added Mr. Friedman, "We make fueling with CNG as easy as gasoline. We eliminate fueling infrastructure costs for a fleet operator while providing them with a quality fueling experience so the decision to add natural gas vehicles to a fleet is greatly simplified."
The station construction projects were funded in part by the State of Texas through an Alternative Fueling Facilities Program Grant from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). "TCEQ funding provides an important catalyst to the market and is an integral part of a comprehensive state effort to promote natural gas for transportation as a key component of emission reduction efforts. Light-duty vehicles are responsible for as much as 75% of transportation emissions and VNG's stations give average drivers a convenient, comfortable way to transition to CNG fueling. In addition to helping reduce emissions, each facility can dispense up to 1 million GGEs annually, providing an important source of future demand for the Texas gas industry and helping to sustain Texas' robust energy economy," stated Mr. Friedman.
