    Registration for the Natural Gas in Trucking summit is now open to the public, according to the American Trucking Assns. president & CEO Bill Graves.

    This event will be a “watershed moment for the trucking industry as more and more fleets look to America’s most abundant and environmentally friendly transportation fuel to move the nation’s goods,” Graves said.

    The summit, scheduled for Nov. 28-30 at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, Arlington, VA, will feature presentations from executives from leading carriers, manufacturers and the natural gas industry, including a keynote address by energy pioneer T. Boone Pickens.

    “We believe this will be a can’t miss event, covering all aspects of the use of natural gas in trucking from the engineering to make it possible to the growth of distribution infrastructure,” Graves said. “We’re very excited to bring all these parties together in this unique format to discuss this important topic.”

    The Natural Gas in Trucking summit is made possible, in part, by several sponsors including American Power Group, Clean Energy, Freightliner, Shell Lubricants, TravelCenters of America, Westport HD, and Pilot/Flying J, Graves said.
