| The first filling station for liquid vehicle fuel |

 On Wednesday, Sweden's first public filling station for liquid vehicle in Gothenburg. Meanwhile, the Volvo field test with trucks that run on a combination of liquid methane and diesel. As of today rolls three Volvo FM trucks with diesel engine of 13 liters converted to run on 70 percent methane and 30 percent diesel, while inaugurating the company Fordonsgas Sweden's first public filling station for liquid vehicle in Gothenburg, Volvo trucks have special tanks for liquid methane, which means that the range can be up to four times longer than if the gas would take it in compressed form. According to Volvo Heavy Duty Trucks have a range of 50-100 mils depending on driving conditions? The diesel fuel acts as igniters in the engine. A small amount of gas injected into the cylinder at every stroke and is ignited by compression. Thus ignite even gasluft-mix. - An increasing usage of gas is a bridge to climate neutral transports, "says Volvo Latsvagnars Environmental Manager Lars Martensson said in a statement. - When the trucks can run on 80 percent pure biogas and 20 percent pure bio-diesel igniters. Then, carbon dioxide emissions 80 percent lower than for conventional diesel. On the new service station and filled up the trucks so far, with liquefied natural gas. In the spring, they, according Vehicle, able to fill the tank with liquid biogas from a new biogas plant in Lidkoping. The gas is transported in liquid form to the filling station and stored at minus 160 degrees. On the new station go there to fill up the gas in both liquid and compressed form. Field tests with Volvo trucks are part of a great demonstration of how biogas can be used for long distance journeys. Within the project, two additional fuel pumps for liquid vehicle to open in Malmo and Stockholm. |
