Silent trucks allow undisturbed sleep in Helsinki
The Finnish haulier Kuuskuljetus is operating Finland’s first LNG truck with a plug-in battery electro-hydraulic crane from Scania. The unusual combination was selected in view of Kuuskuljetus’ transport assignments for the Renta Group.
Renta supplies scaffolding in the Finnish capital Helsinki, also in the early hours of the mornings when residents are asleep. Since the gas truck is much quieter, they can continue to rest undisturbed.
In addition to the quiet truck, the HIAB X-HiPro loader crane operates nearly silently, since batteries power the electric motor for the hydraulics. By filling biogas, the haulier reduces its carbon emissions by up to 90% with its new vehicle. (ben)
