Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin will travel to Detroit to meet with executives at Chrysler, General Motors, and Ford Motor Company on Monday, July 16. The governors will discuss with the automakers the multi-state agreement Colorado and Oklahoma initiated last fall with 11 other states to promote the use of natural gas vehicles.
“Natural gas vehicles provide clean, affordable transportation that can increase our nation’s energy security and bolster economic development,” Hickenlooper said. “We believe there will is strong interest in natural gas vehicles and we want to leverage the collective purchasing power of state fleets to jumpstart that market. These meetings will help establish a mutually beneficial partnership between the 13 states on the agreement and the auto companies.”
The governors will also tour the auto manufacturing plants and drive natural gas vehicles during the visit of the manufacturers.
