amp Trillium opens public CNG station in Jacksonville, Fla.

Feb. 25, 2015
The station will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and uses a public access card reader system.

amp Trillium, LLC, the joint venture between ampCNG and Trillium CNG, and Champion Brands Incorporated (CBI) announced the first-ever public access compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station in northeast Florida is now open for business.

The grand opening event will be held on Feb. 26 at the new station, which is located at 9711 Mining Drive in Jacksonville's Southside Industrial Park.

“We are very excited to open Jacksonville’s first CNG station and believe this will bring more CNG-fueled trucks to northern Florida," said Steve Josephs, P.E., director of engineering and co-founder of ampCNG. "ampCNG is committed to providing heavy trucking fleets with convenient access to CNG and plans to open several more CNG stations across the country this year.”

“I couldn’t be happier,” said Earl Benton, president/CEO of Champion Brands. “amp Trillium is a great partner. This project is important not only to Jacksonville and our region, but also to the future of our economic viability and our goal of making Jacksonville the transportation and logistics hub of America. It also supports the Global Cities Initiative of increasing exports. The word is out - CNG is available in Northeast Florida.”

“Jacksonville, Fla., is a vital part of America’s transportation system,” said Mary Boettcher, president of Trillium CNG. “Having CNG infrastructure that is dependable, accessible, and fast-fueling for Class 8 tractors will continue to make Jacksonville one of the most sought after locations for logistics operations.”

The amp Trillium station is easily accessible for heavy duty fleet trucks. The new CNG station will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and uses a public access card reader system. The station includes two dual hose dispensers, allowing two semitrailers to fuel at the same time, and it features Trillium CNG’s proprietary fast-fill hydraulic intensifier compressor.

The station host, Champion Brands, Inc. has begun replacing their diesel fleet with CNG trucks. The first wave of CNG trucks hit the road Oct. 1, 2014. Their diesel fleet will be fully replaced with CNG by July 2017.
