VNG Adds CNG Fueling At New Circle K® Location In Houston
- VNG opens second public retail CNG fueling facility in Houston to support the widespread use of natural gas vehicles
- Offers drivers easy access to CNG by VNG at a leading convenience and fuel retailer
BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Sept. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- VNG.Co, LLC announced today the continued expansion of its Texas CNG fueling network with the inclusion of CNG fueling at a new Circle K® opened at 12300 Veterans Memorial Drive in Houston. To mark the occasion, VNG will offer CNG by VNG for a limited-time promotional price of 99 cents per GGE (gasoline gallon equivalent) at this location.
"We are very excited to be working with Circle K, a leading national convenience and fuel retailer, in bringing CNG fueling to the mainstream and support the development of NGVs in Texas and throughout the nation," said Robert Friedman, Chief Operating Officer of VNG. "Our addition of this high quality location to our Houston retail CNG fueling network demonstrates the future of CNG fueling and we invite fleets and consumers in the area to experience it today."
VNG's newest CNG fueling facility is part of a multi-city public access fueling station development program in major US markets to provide a convenient, safe and familiar CNG fueling experience for drivers of light duty vehicles such as pickups, vans and passenger cars. Light-duty vehicles purchase as much as 75% of the fuel sold in the country and VNG's public access retail stations provide convenient, easy access to CNG fueling. CNG reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 25% compared to gasoline providing a path to cleaner air. CNG is a domestically sourced fuel and its use as a transportation fuel creates jobs and enhances the nations drive towards energy independence.
VNG's facilities offer fast fill times for quick in and out plus all of the amenities drivers seek when purchasing fuel, including convenience stores, fast food options, and clean rest rooms. Added Mr. Friedman, "Our joint effort with Circle K is a great example of the VNG offering. Together, VNG and Circle K® are offering fleets and consumers one of the most convenient, accessible and friendly CNG fueling opportunities in the industry."
The station construction project was 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 for CNG infrastructure projects demonstrates the commitment by Texas to grow the use of CNG as a mainstream transportation fuel," stated Mr. Friedman.
