The joint venture between ampCNG and Trillium CNG, amp Trillium, has announced the opening of a new public compressed natural gas station in Newport, Tenn.

The station is located on Highway 2570 near I-40, making it an ideal place for CNG-powered trucks and cars to refuel as they travel through eastern Tennessee.

This location will be open 24 hours a day, and it can fuel multiple Class 8 trucks simultaneously with Trillium CNG’s proprietary fast-fill hydraulic compressors, which pump 7-12 gallons of CNG fuel per minute, similar to diesel fueling rates.

The Newport location is amp Trillium’s 22nd station across the country. The joint venture plans to open at least 100 stations in its mission to make CNG more readily available.
