The new system will also make future CNG-powered trucks ideal for regional and long-distance transportation. This is profitable for carriers, because the 188 liters of natural gas that a truck uses per 100 kilometers cost about 27 euros, while the minimum of 28 liters consumed by a diesel truck over a distance of 100 kilometers cost about 37 euros.

In turn, carbon emissions are 70 percent lower, as natural gas contains almost no components that generate pollutants and burns in a non-polluting and environmentally friendly manner. Besides, with its CNG trailer the German company provides an additional innovation that reduces much more CO₂ than any aerodynamic optimization.

Fast and simple coupling of the trailer to the truck is performed by using a special connection plug system, which operates in a plug-and-play manner. The CNG modules can slide out to facilitate simple operation and maintenance.
