TruStar Energy was founded with the belief that the decision to switch to CNG should be made because it is the most economical fuel when operating a fleet of trucks. The TruStar Energy team has been involved with CNG truck implementations since 1995, and has been building CNG stations since 2002, with over 50 stations in the past 10 years.

Traditionally, public CNG stations and CNG fuel providers charge prices to customers that offer little savings or incentive to switch to CNG from diesel. TruStar Energy offers its customers the ability to own and operate their own CNG stations so they can capture the tremendous savings opportunities available to them. Ownership typically allows customers to get ROI on the cost of the station build in as little as 2 years, which makes switching to CNG an obvious choice
