Clean Energy Fuels Corp., which provides natural gas fueling for the trucking industry, reported a loss for its second quarter but said revenue rose.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. received a $150 million cash infusion last week to help it build an extensive nationwide network of 150 natural-gas truck-fueling stations.

Chesapeake Energy Corp. said it is investing $150 million in Clean Energy Fuels Corp. to develop about 150 natural gas fueling stations for heavy-duty trucks at truck stops along U.S. interstate highways.

Ryder System said Tuesday it sees more demand for heavy-duty natural gas vehicles and that it has secured lease agreements for 87 heavy-duty natural gas trucks.

Bill Malone must have been one of the few people in trucking who could chuckle at the price of diesel one day this spring. It was well over $4 a gallon, but Malone was untroubled because the 18 tractors in the fleet he oversees are fueled with liquefied natural gas.

The first extended network of natural gas filling stations could be running in a few years, the head of the nation’s largest natural-gas fuel distributor said April 13.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has agreed to establish compressed natural gas facilities at the Atlanta-area fuel stations of PS Energy Group.

Trucking executives, fuel vendors and manufacturers of aftermarket engine technology said it is easier to get an alternative-fuel vehicle onto a motor carrier’s lot than it is to get a viable alternative fuel into a truck’s tank.
