"This network expansion reinforces Trillium's and Love's commitment to providing every fuel type our customers need," said Ryan Erickson, vice president of Trillium. "We have recently seen an increased interest in CNG as a clean alternative fuel from both our private sector fleet and trucking customers. Adding these stations grows our network quite significantly, which unlocks more value and access for customers. Utilizing the expanded network, our collective CNG customers will have significantly more fueling options to continue or expand their CNG fleet operations."
Trillium's 24/7 service team will operate, maintain and monitor these stations, the company said. Trillium also plans for a new CNG build in Fresno, Calif., slated to be completed later this year.
Trillium customers will be able to earn My Love's Rewards points when they purchase CNG. My Love Rewards can be redeemed for free showers, beverages and merchandise at any Love's Travel Stops locations.
