Pivotal LNG, a wholly owned subsidiary of AGL Resources
GAS,
announced that it has entered into an agreement with United Parcel Service
Inc.
UPS to provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) for UPS fleet
operations in Nashville and Knoxville, Tenn.
"We are pleased to enter into this agreement with UPS. One of the benefits we
are able to offer our customers is continuity of LNG supply because of our
access to multiple supply locations within the region," said Steve Cittadine,
President, Storage and Fuels for AGL Resources.
UPS is expanding its use of LNG as a transportation fuel by replacing many of
the diesel tractors that are based in the Knoxville and Nashville UPS
terminals with LNG-fueled tractors.
"These tractors will operate on high mile routes in Tennessee and surrounding
states," said Mike Casteel, director of fleet procurement for UPS. He added,
"AGL Resources is providing an economical and secure source of fuel, allowing
us to justify the incremental capital investment in LNG infrastructure and
vehicles."
The 10-year contract calls for Pivotal LNG to provide UPS with an average of
500,000 gallons of LNG per month for its fueling stations, which UPS will own
and operate.
