Clean Energy to Fuel Bimbo Bakeries’ First Heavy-duty Natural Gas Trucks; Signs Additional Trucking Fueling Agreements
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ:CLNE) today announced it will fuel the first heavy-duty natural gas trucks deployed by Bimbo Bakeries USA, the largest baker in the United States. Trucking fleets across the nation continue to expand or begin natural gas fueling operations. Clean Energy and approximately 40 competitors have opened nearly 100 public heavy-duty, truck-friendly stations so far in 2014, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, Alternative Fuels Data Center. This translates into an annual infrastructure growth rate of over 20 percent, with certain markets like Texas experiencing significant natural gas fueling station growth. Grant awards affecting Clean Energy and its growing portfolio of natural gas fueling customers were also announced.

Bimbo Bakeries USA Reduces Environmental Footprint through New Fleet of Clean Energy Heavy-duty Natural Gas Trucks in California
Bimbo Bakeries USA (BBU) has contracted with Clean Energy to introduce its first heavy-duty natural gas trucks into its fleet in California. The 16 heavy-duty natural gas trucks will use fuel from Clean Energy’s public-access compressed natural gas station network throughout Northern California.
BBU expects to explore options for adding more natural gas trucks to its fleet throughout the country based on the success of this initial deployment. BBU operates more than 65 bakeries and distributes products through 12,000 sales routes throughout the United States.
This initial deployment of trucks is expected to cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 580 metric tons.
“As a leader in the baking industry, BBU understands that it has a responsibility to invest in and raise sustainability standards. We are continuously looking for ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and our collaboration with Clean Energy to deploy natural gas trucks is an important step in our company-wide green initiatives.” - Jim McKeown, director of environment and sustainability for BBU and Grupo Bimbo

Pennsylvania Awards Clean Energy and its Customers $5.1 Million in Grants for Station Development, Expansion and Vehicles
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) awarded Clean Energy customers $1.4 million for 166 natural gas vehicles. Awarded under the Alternative Fuel Incentive Grants (AFIG) program of the Office of Pollution Prevention and Energy Assistance, the funds will help pay for the conversion or purchase of medium- to light-weight natural gas vehicles. A total of 274 NGVs were funded under AFIG’s Sept. 4th grant award. DEP estimates 24 new fueling stations and 35 existing stations will be supported by these NGVs.
Under the direction of the Commonwealth Financing Authority, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and DEP also awarded Clean Energy $3.78 million under the Alternative and Clean Energy program for the development, construction and/or expansion of natural gas fueling stations.
Natural gas fuel costs up to $1.50 less per gallon than gasoline or diesel, depending on local market conditions. The use of natural gas fuel not only reduces operating costs for vehicles, but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions up to 30% in light-duty vehicles and 23% in medium- to heavy-duty vehicles. In addition, nearly all natural gas consumed in North America is produced domestically.
