Trillium CNG's contract extended in Arkansas

1 min to read

Rock Region METRO, based in North Little Rock, Ark., selected Love’s Trillium CNG to continue providing complete maintenance services on its compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station. Love’s Trillium was originally selected in 2014 to design, build, operate, and maintain a new CNG fueling station to fuel their bus fleet.

Trillium will continue to provide services to the private station that can fuel up to 75 CNG buses daily for the next three years with options for up to five years. Rock Region METRO serves three million passengers per year. The agency, which introduced 15 CNG buses to its fleet in summer 2015, plans to replace its remaining 43 diesel-fueled buses with CNG buses by the end of 2025.

Love’s Travel Stops operates 10 travel stops in the state of Arkansas. The West Memphis location offers Love’s Fast-Fill CNG for heavy-duty trucks and a CNG fueling option for motorists.
