Renewable fuels provider Gasrec says results published yesterday following a £20m government funded programme to trial, develop and demonstrate low emission vehicles in the road transport sector have highlighted the significant environmental and financial benefits of gas over diesel, particularly in long-haul applications.
The Low Emissions Freight Trial (LEFT) report from the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership tested a range of gas-powered trucks from different manufacturers, including vehicles using spark ignition and compression ignition technologies. It also looked at the performance of vehicles running on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquified natural gas (LNG), including their biomethane equivalents: www.logisticsvoices.co.uk
