ENRG Announces Name Change to Clean Energy

    SEAL BEACH, Calif.--May 8, 2003--ENRG, North America's leader in clean transportation, has changed its name to Clean Energy Fuels Corp. and will conduct its business under the name Clean Energy, the company announced today.
    With more than 145 fueling stations across the United States and in Canada, Clean Energy is the largest provider of vehicular natural gas (CNG and LNG) in North America, primarily serving commercial, municipal, state and federal government fleet vehicles. These high-fuel-use fleets include transit, refuse, taxi and shuttle/shared-ride, airport and heavy-duty fleet operators.
    "Our new name says clearly and distinctly that we are part of the new world where `clean' counts -- more than ever," said Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy president and CEO. "With demand for vehicular natural gas increasing, Clean Energy is growing rapidly. We have now moved into a continent-wide supplier position to capitalize on current and future growth opportunities."
    Littlefair noted that the new name also reflects the critical position of the company as the leading provider of natural gas for vehicles -- the clean transportation solution available and economical today and the bridge to the anticipated hydrogen-based fuel economy of the future.
    The company's new website address is www.cleanenergyfuels.com
