The Hickory station, located near the junction of Interstate 40 and US 321, is the 11th public refueling station Piedmont has opened throughout its service territory of North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Piedmont has converted 38% of its own fleet to run on CNG and expects that number to grow. Piedmont's conversion efforts have helped them earn recognition as a top utility environmental champion in a survey of utility customers nationwide.
The Hickory fueling station is open to commercial fleet vehicles and the general public. The station accepts all major fleet cards and all major credit cards, and the layout of the station allows for easy access for large trucks.
