Heavy-duty liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles work much like gasoline-powered vehicles with a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. The natural gas is super-cooled and cryogenically stored in liquid form, usually in a tank on the side of the truck.

2012年2月24日 · Some believe that making the switch to LNG will decrease fuel bills, while others think that the price will increase steadily as the demand increases. Market analysts believe that LNG will stay below $40 per barrel for years, and Shell representatives are convinced that LNG is the fuel of the future.

LNG fueled trucks can currently drive 1,500 kilometers without the need for re-fueling. This bigger operating radius makes LNG a competitive alternative for use in regional distribution as well as long haul transport, while CNG is mostly used for limited city distribution and garbage collection.

Heavy-duty liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles operate much like gasoline vehicles with a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. The natural gas is supercooled and cryogenically stored in liquid form, usually in a tank on the side of the truck.

Fuel capacity was 240 gallons of LNG (approximately 120 DGE), giving an estimated range of 550 to 650 miles per fill. Ryder placed these trucks with 38 lease partners across Southern California.

Using LNG for commercial and heavy goods vehicles, off-road trucks, marine vessels, trains, and buses can mean fuel savings of up to 50%, with lower particulate and carbon emissions, compared to diesel. With LNG less fuel is needed to cover greater distances, making LNG a good option for long-haul journeys.

2024年8月26日 · And when fully fueled, an LNG truck has a range comparable to a diesel truck, which is at least 1,000 kilometers, depending on the model. However, long-distance LNG truck transport requires a well-developed LNG fueling infrastructure. There are about 700 public filling stations for LNG truck fuel in Europe.

2021年5月20日 · Liquefied natural gas, simply known as LNG, showed its high economic efficiency during the dedicated tests that were carried out by Iveco in Poland. They confirmed a suggestion that LNG is cheaper than diesel and it could reduce fuel costs by up to 40 per cent.

2023年5月1日 · LNG composition at truck loading facilities has been traditionally measured using a gas chromatograph (GC). Prior to injection into the GC for analysis, a representative sample of the LNG must be brought from its cryogenic liquid state to a room temperature gas using a vaporisation process.

For Transport sector, LNG is pegged as a clean and economical fuel for Heavy Commercial Vehicles. As compared CNG takes three times more space than LNG at a certain temperature, restricting CNG to mostly intra-city use.
