The dispenser can refuel a truck with 400m3 cylinders in an average record time of 8 minutes, depending on the capacity of the compressor. It is equipped with four hoses, two with “high flow valve and NGV1 nozzle” and two with low flow, which makes it an efficient resource for refueling both private cars and heavy transport.
Belonging to Cummins’ Near Zero line, this engine is “a super powerful model and the most eco-friendly natural gas engine in Peru”, and a solution for the truck and bus market that seeks to reduce emissions without sacrificing the performance of its vehicle, the company explained on its social media.
Food Express has begun operating a Class-8 truck fitted with a Cummins X15N, which will be commercially available in 2024. Clean Energy Fuels is providing renewable natural gas for the new Kenworth vehicle at its fueling station in Fontana, California. The carrier currently runs a fleet of 88 heavy-duty trucks that operate on biomethane.
Westport Fuel Systems completed a heavy transport demonstration with its H2 HPDI fuel system equipped prototype truck hauling a refrigerated trailer in Madrid. The trial, which also included Disfrimur, Scale Gas and Versallis, marks the first of its kind in Spain and an important step forward in the decarbonization of Spanish mobility.
Manure produced by the 500 cattle kept at the farm is harvested and upgraded on site, producing fugitive biomethane. This not only fuels machinery, but significantly reduces the carbon footprint. A pioneering facility has been built to provide sustainable fuel which will help cut down up to 1,300 tons of carbon per year.
With a flow rate of up to 546 m3/h, ARTIKA 400 is the latest addition to the range of cryogenic submersible pumps for LNG designed by the Italian multinational firm. Its seamless design, with motor bearings permanently lubricated by LNG, means this type of pump maintains cold conditions for fast and efficient start-stop operations and very low maintenance.
Starting in Temple, TX, the vehicle completed deliveries to eight PFG customers near Dallas, travelling over 540 miles on a 16-hour continuous run including over 100-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. The run demonstrates the viability of on-board liquid hydrogen to fuel long-distance, zero-emission transport.
COPISO and the other six partners that make up the consortium that implemented the LIFE Smart Agromobility project, developed on the Sauquillo de Boñices farm (with 3,500 pigs), demonstrated the tractor on July 14 before the Soria media and a group of farmers. This project is aimed at studying the profitability of biomethane production.
The Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) are working towards the creation of a class for hydrogen-powered prototypes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the next few years. MissionH24, a joint venture between the ACO and GreenGT, is conducting R+D in areas such as safety, performance and refueling.
The university’s hydrogen program Hycel and PACCAR Australia will develop zero-emissions solutions for the domestic heavy haulage market using the first hydrogen prime mover in Australia. The truck is one of 10 prototype Kenworth T680 fuel cell vehicles in existence and was included in world-first operational trials in the Port of Los Angeles in 2022.
