Gregory Distribution going gas powered
Volvo Trucks has delivered the first FH Globetrotter LNG (liquified natural gas) tractor units into operation with Gregory Distribution, as part of a trial to test the suitability of LNG to replace diesel in its fleet of more than 1,000 trucks.
The South West-based distribution and logistics business will initially operate seven LNG-powered Volvos from its Bristol site.
The 6x2 pusher-axle tractor units have been specified with 155 kg LNG tanks for maximum range, and benefit from 12-speed I-Shift automated gearboxes to help maximise fuel efficiency. Gregory Distribution initially ran trials with 44 t gas trucks from two manufacturers before choosing the Volvo. (ben)
