Volvo Trucks, Gasrec enter gas vehicle partnership

In the UK, Gasrec has teamed up with global heavy-duty truck manufacturer Volvo Trucks to co-operate commercially and technically to increase the availability and promote the use of gas vehicles in the UK.

Gasrec is Europe’s largest supplier of Bio-LNG; a blend of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquid biomethane (LBM). LBM is a natural, green source of renewable energy produced from organic matter such as household food waste. Gasrec works with a number of market-leading companies including B&Q, Sainsbury’s and Tesco. When substituted for diesel, Bio-LNG can today cut fuel costs and CO2 by around 20 per cent. It also delivers improvements in air quality emissions with huge reductions in NOx and particulate matter. Gasrec is currently developing the UK’s first network of open-access Bio-LNG refuelling stations, which is set for completion in 2015.
