EVERGREEN, Ala. – Evergreen Transport LLC has partnered with U.S. Oil for the construction of a GAIN Clean Fuel compressed natural gas (CNG) station near Birmingham, Alabama. The station will be built at an existing Evergreen Transport fueling and maintenance facility, adjacent to Interstate 65, an important shipping corridor in the southeast. The GAIN station will support Evergreen Transport’s initial conversion of 12 trucks to CNG, with the potential to convert additional trucks in the next several years.

“GAIN’s flexibility in siting the facility where it’s most advantageous to our fleet was key to moving forward with our partnership,” said David Wildberger, president of Evergreen Transport. “GAIN really worked to meet our needs and we’re excited about this new opportunity and relationship.”

“This is a unique partnership for GAIN,” said Bill Renz, general manager for GAIN Clean Fuel. “In addition to expanding our nationwide CNG network, this partnership is a joint venture, giving both companies the opportunity to benefit from the economic advantages of CNG.”

When completed, the new location will be open 24 hours a day and will be available for use by other trucking companies and approved fleets. U.S. Oil currently operates nine GAIN stations, and has an additional 12 new GAIN Clean Fuel stations under construction. With a goal of building 50 CNG stations nationwide in the next two years, U.S. Oil is meeting the growing demand from carriers seeking to take advantage of CNG’s benefits.
