liquefied natural gas is a progressive, environmentally friendly and profitable alternative fuel

The benefits of driving on LNG:

• LNG trucks are a lot more environment-friendly than Euro-VI diesel trucks
• LNG trucks are quieter than diesel trucks
• LNG is safer than many other fuels
• The LNG truck is cost-effective

LNG production is simpler and costs less than the production of diesel from petroleum. It typically provides a cost saving of around 30-40% compared to diesel. A LNG truck has an action radius of 750 km and with the installation of a second LNG tank, the action radius is over 1300 km.

Clean transport
A truck that operates on LNG / Bio-LNG complies with the strictest international environmental standards. The combustion of liquid methane produces less harmful emissions than the combustion of diesel or gasoline. An additional advantage is that these trucks can enter the international environmental zones of cities. Thus, fines are avoided and investment in expensive soot filters is no longer required. A truck on LNG / Bio-LNG reaches an even better standard than Euro-VI. The latest dedicated gas vehicles reduce carbon emissions (CO2) by up to 30% – while the addition of waste derived biomethane into the mix can increase this to 70%. Significant reductions in nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions of up to 35% are also common, as is the virtual elimination of harmful particulate matter (PM) emissions.

Sound
With regard to the maximum noise produced by trucks, stricter rules still apply. In addition to their environmental and economic benefits, natural gas vehicles are also inherently quiet and well suited to deliveries in towns and cities during the night. Mainly, distribution traffic has a lot to do with this. In order to be able to organize a flexible supply and discharge of goods, the truck must be quiet. The truck on LNG / Bio-LNG has a PIC certificate. This means that loading and unloading with this truck at more times is allowed. The use of these trucks can thus take place much more flexibly. A LNG / Bio-LNG truck is 70% quieter than a similar diesel truck.

Safety
The production, transport, tanking and driving of LNG / Bio-LNG is extremely safe. Traditionally, a deep rooted fear of gas prevails. Natural gas is flammable and therefore dangerous, like gasoline / LPG, diesel and gasoline. The last three fuels are heavier than air. When they come into contact with the outside air, they remain in the area or lay on the ground in liquid state. If a spark is released, the fuel can ignite. LNG / Bio-LNG is only flammable when heated and evaporated. In gaseous condition, natural gas is lighter than air and rises, away from a potential
ignition source.
