The initiative is part of a “general strategy of alternative transportation fuels,” said Elena González, Gas Natural Fenosa’s director of mobility solutions, who also stated they are conducting trials with LNG-powered units owned by Mercadona and Inditex in order to improve service and offer it to more hauling fleets, reported Cindodías.com.
Moreover, the company’s project manager of mobility Benito Páramo considered that with local authorities’ support, the number of NGVs in Spain will double in about two years and that, in this scenario, his firm is committed to optimizing fuelling infrastructure.
It is worth recalling that last November the Spanish company opened Europe’s largest CNG station for a 400-buses fleet of Madrid’s Municipal Transport Company (EMT, as in its Spanish acronym). The investment involves about six million Euros and Gas Natural foresees earnings of 60 million Euros during contract.
