| 摘要： | Logistics business Gregory Distribution has installed its first bio-LNG (liquefied natural gas) refuelling station. Last year, the company began a trial to test the suitability of bio-LNG to replace diesel in its fleet of more than 1,000 trucks - initially running seven Volvo FH LNG 6×2 tractor units as part of its operations in Bristol and Magor. The success of that trial has now seen the company make the next move, installing the station - owned and operated by supplier Gasrec - at its Cullompton (Exeter) depot, to fuel a further order of 13 Volvo FH LNGs. 'The transition to alternative fuels is a key part of our long-term strategy and this new facility is a continuation on that journey," says Paul Jefferson, group legal, risk and sustainability director at Gregory Distribution. "We put our first LNG trucks on the road last September and the reduction in carbon emissions have been clear to see. The technology has come on leaps and bounds in the past 12 months and the feedback from the drivers on the Volvo trucks has been hugely positive. The one challenge we have faced with LNG has been the infrastructure; but now with the help of Gasrec, we are taking control of our destiny by getting this facility on our own site." |
