| 摘要： | Supermarket Asda is taking delivery of 202 Volvo FH LNG tractor units in the run-up to Christmas peak trading, in what is believed to be the single largest order ever placed in the UK for heavy trucks using renewable fuels. The supermarket has ambitions to transition its core fleet of 1,000 tractor units from diesel to gas by 2024, after in-house trials showed running on biomethane reduced CO_2 emissions by more than 80%. Sean Clifton, senior manager -national fleets, says: "At Asda we like to think big, start small and scale fast - and that1 s precisely what we've accomplished with this move to biomethane. We began with a pair of Volvo FH LNG trial vehicles at our Avonmouth depot in December 2018, which quickly proved to be very capable. A further 49 joined between December 2019 and May 2020; and now this latest order sees an additional 202 Volvos being deployed across five additional sites in our network." |
