In cooperation with the Italian OEM, Rolande LNG has provided not only the “know-how” but also the special cryogenic tanks and heat exchanger necessary to use LBG as fuel. It is gas made from organic waste material and no additional agricultural land was needed to produce the biomethane.
Also, since gas treatment and transport only absorbs a limited amount of energy, this fuel is one of the most sustainable and CO2 neutral (up to 80%) alternative available today. It is worth noting that LBG as transport fuel gives better or equal emission quality levels than EEV or Euro 5 diesel engines in trucks and buses, but these levels can be achieved without expensive maintenance.
The Iveco Stralis has been purchased by Chr. Vermeer Transport B.V., the first Dutch transportation firm to drive an LBG dedicated unit in the daily transport service, and can be seen during the so called “Carrosserie Vakdagen” in Hardenberg, Netherlands, during 20, 21 and 22nd of April 2010.
