Six vehicle fleets have received the inaugural Propane Exceptional Energy Fleet award from the Propane Education & Research Council and members of the propane industry at the United States Department of Energy's seventh National Clean Cities Conference.

Honored were Schwan's Home Delivery of Marshall MN, Danone Waters of North America of Pasadena CA, Northside Independent School District of San Antonio TX, the State of Florida's Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Transportation, and Yellow Checker Star Cab Co of Las Vegas NV.
