Yakutsk is placed on the permafrost, Northeast of Siberia, and the lowest temperatures, apart from Antarctica, have been register in its surroundings. During the long winters, temperatures can reach levels bellow -40ºC.
Galileo has equipped the first CNG station of LLC Sakhametan in this city. “Until then, Galileo equipments have never undergone such low temperatures. We knew we were facing the harshest test ever. This time, it was about the MSP-185 CNG packaged compressor, and two EMB-15-1-D dispensers of two hoses. Their performance was a new challenge in Yakutsk, but succeeded all expectations”, says Juan Fornaso, Regional Sales Manager at Galileo.
Both stations will supply 450 vehicles powered by CNG, which currently operate in Yakutstk. Mainly, they will supply 85% of buses, trucks and a growing number of vehicles.
