LNG technology secures new order
Armstrong Logistics in UK has taken delivery of five new Volvo FH LNG (liquified natural gas) trucks as part of the business’s strategy to reduce its carbon emissions and improve the long-term sustainability of its operation.
The 6x2 tractor units join five conventional diesel Volvo FH 500 Globetrotter XL trucks that the company added to its 95-strong fleet towards the end of last year.
The new trucks have been specified with 155 kg LNG tanks for maximum range, and benefit from 12-speed I-Shift automated gearboxes to further increase fuel efficiency.
Expected to cover 200,000 km per year, the trucks will be used on longer set runs – delivering a variety of goods from the business’s three consolidated logistics centres in Hinckley, Lutterworth and Doncaster. (ben)
