Retail Sales for Nat-Gas Heavy-Duty Trucks Decline
Posted by Lauren Tyler on October 31, 2016 No Comments
Categories : FYI
U.S. and Canadian natural gas Class 8 truck retail sales declined in the June-to-August period, according to ACT Research’s Natural Gas Quarterly. Year-to-date sales through August continued to lose ground, falling 29% behind last year’s comparable level from a reading of 25% lower for year-to-date May.
The report says that on the buying side, natural gas vehicle (NGV) purchases continue to be dominated by transit bus and refuse truck operators.
“While sales of natural gas-powered units have their own inherent challenges, part of the reason for softness may also be related to factors impacting the broader truck market,” says Steve Tam, ACT’s vice president. “Regardless of the fuel used, heavy trucks are all competing for the same freight, which has failed to increase for at least the last five quarters.
“Coincidentally, many truckers increased their fleet sizes just as freight growth was slowing, setting up the current situation of excess capacity that is keeping the brakes on new truck sales, irrespective of fuel type,” he adds.
The Natural Gas Quarterly provides information on the current and projected status of those factors that impact a decision to adopt natural gas. The report includes a dashboard gauge that looks at fuel price spread, public heavy-duty natural gas fueling infrastructure, natural gas equipment, and actual natural gas heavy-duty truck sales.
UH OH....

Nice!!!
Natural gas vehicle sales dropping again this year... and they were dropping last!!!
Viva the natural gas vehicle revolution!!
Uh, oh !! Wouldn't you think that with all of this "GOOD NEWS" the share price should be going up?
What's really happening to CLNE??
I am not short... I covered in August...
Now I am waiting for tax loss, selling season to begin.
The new engine is only one size!!! (8.9L).
And it won't fit in most diesel applications... LAME.!
JUST BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE OPEN....
Doesn't make this a good investment!
GREAT !!! YET A ANOTHER STATION GENERATING A NEGATIVE ROI!
THE DOORS ARE NOT OPEN FOR LONG!
WPRT is in a death spiral...
Anyone who has followed this company knows they have never been profitable.
Anyone who has followed this company knows they have many patents which are not economically viable.
Anyone who has followed WPRT knows that if they are in transition from R&D to sales; then why is their sales rate falling?
I am negative, because I have been a lone voice warning that this emperor has no clothes; and at $40, $30, $20, $10, and $2, that it is grossly over-valued and heading to ZERO.
Not really...T Boone Pickens is the largest seller of CLNE STOCK !!!
This "news" is really a lame attempt to arrest the fall in CLNE.
This stock has been falling and someone needed to step up and say something positive...
I am not fooled!
I may not be a moderate moderator, but no one can question the value of the information I have provided to the board.
I have been correctly warning folks about this stock since it was in the $30's...
I AM SOOOOO RIGHT !
AGAIN !!!!
The earnings will tell us that there is little $$$ left.... and there will be a mad rush to the tax - loss exits before year end.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED !
I have been watching and learning about CLNE for more than three years, and I have seen and learned much.
I have seen the share price FALL from $20.00 to $2.00, and I have learned to play CLNE from the short side.
I have learned that EVERY time that CLNE begins to rally, we are hit with BAD NEWS, like yet another SECONDARY or MAJOR BOONE DUMP.
Unless you have an option straddle in place, it is better to watch CLNE for the time being. The share price now is more headline driven than anything else...
Negative ROI.... For several years.
MOVIES ARE MAKE BELIEVE !!!
And quotes from movies are make believe...
HEAD FAKE, FOOL'S RALLY; DEAD CAT BOUNCE !!!
I hope everyone sold into the rally.
Yeah, but a lousy couple of years...
$40 to $1.40 !!!! And the same management team.
I agree, up double digits for a couple of new propane Hondas in Turkey!!
Starved for any good news !
Good news!
But is it enough?
For Those who may have missed my earlier post:
Kudos (again) to CLNE...

Kudos to CLNE. It looks as if they have arrested the fall.
It has been a great 2 years (From $12.00 to $2.00), but I never go against the trend, nor fall in love with a position.
I still believe this is a lousy stock and lousy investment, so I won't be going LONG, but it is too risky to be short for the time being.
I hope you have all bought under $3.00 and take profits often.
____________________________________________________________
Just because I am critical and skeptical of management and continue to post countering others, that does not mean that I am shorting this stock at this time. Instead, I shall continue to uphold the truth and wait for the pro-CLNE supporters to over-inflate the value so that I can bet against its future.... Not now, but I shall let you know when I do.
This BILL will die in committee.
A ringing endorsement !!! FROM $40 to $1.40 !!!
If this team can lose $39, then the last $1.40 will be gone soon...
Is Westport finally up to something positive?
And how come the insiders and friends found out first?
WRONG. I T IS MORE LIKE ME SELLING 10% OF YOUR ASSETS.
CLNE IS REDUCING YOUR OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY BY 15%!!!
Think of me selling your car and keeping the $$$.
THANKS MICK... OLD NEWS, OLD PUMP.
We got this info LAST WEEK.
And then we the BAD NEWS:
BOONE SELLING !!!
ANOTHER SECONDARY !!!!
Averaging down from $2.17 ???
Wise...
I wish I could have sold more at $2.17.
I am covering below $1.00, so my kids won't have to go to college or work for a living unless they want to.
Today's HUGE RALLY...is actually a bunch of options holders cashing out before they expire tomorrow.
Made another nice chunk on the "good news" hysteria.
Would anyone like to buy some OTM Jan's above $5.00??? Is anyone selling??
We need to change CLNE's symbol to OTM or ATM.
Thanks ... A PRETTY WEAK ANALYSIS !!!
If you read the SA article and the comments which follow, you can see that the author is not credible.
Most commentors point out the errors in the CLNE / natural gas pricing analysis.
NEW, ADDITIONAL SHARES = DILUTION!!
?????
DILUTION ???
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ?
DILUTION !!!
There are several posts and some LAME PR trying to bury the NEWS that CLNE has issued 15? more shares further DILUTING existing share holders. And the market is punishing the stock.
The LAME PR yesterday shows how desperate and pathetic CLNE is.
They were in Free-Fall and had to put out some "good news" to arrest the fall.
100 trucks ??? STOP THE PRESSES!
It looks like he is right too.
WHAT HURTS US MORE? BOONE DUMPING? OR THE SECONDARY DILUTION OF 15%?
UH OH.. BOONE IS DUMPING!! CLNE IS DUMPING.!!
Just like these guys... Lots of suspect PR and then the bad news.
Just look at who was selling just days before the bad news....
WHO SAID DILUTION ?
Waited until Friday night to drop the bomb. That is called chicken S.
Does anyone think it is a little fishy that a major shareholder sold just a couple of days ago?
WHO SAID OVER $5.00????? WHO SAID BOONE IS DUMPING???
The puny DC deal can't move this to $5.00, because if you do the math, a few million gallons doesn't mean that much per share.
I think it was just a PR move so that a major investor could DUMP some of his shares...
Now you understand why I am leery of this stock and the management team.
LESS THAN $1 million BOUGHT?
MORE THAN $7 million SOLD???
SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!
