This autumn, RL-Trans acquired two new trucks that run on LNG (liquefied natural gas). The trucks will be used for about a year to gather experience before more gas trucks are acquired.
– We want to meet tomorrow’s demand, today, says Market Manager Andreas Lindedahl, and refers to that the EU is calling for a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030.
– In addition, our customers want more sustainable transport, and this is a way to respond to that.
LNG trucks have many advantages compared with traditional diesel trucks. They are quieter, which is an advantage when driving in city centres where there may be noise limits. In addition, LNG trucks are more energy efficient and consume 20% less fuel than traditional trucks.
