Volvo Trucks is introducing Euro6-compliant heavy trucks running on liquefied natural gas (LNG) or biogas.
The new trucks have the same performance, drive ability and fuel consumption as Volvo’s diesel-powered models.
However, the new trucks’ CO2 emissions are 20-100% lower compared with diesel, depending on choice of fuel. The new Volvo FH LNG and Volvo FM LNG are available with 420 or 460hp engines.
Lars Mårtensson, Director Environment and Innovation at Volvo Trucks, said: “With our new trucks running on LNG or biogas, we can offer an alternative with low climate impact that also meets high demands on performance, fuel efficiency and operating range. This is a combination that our customers in regional and long haulage require.”
