摘要：	Following a trial, Royal Mail is expanding its use of low-emission vehicles, by augmenting its fleet with 29 gas-powered trucks fuelled by bio-based compressed natural gas, in addition to the two already in service. At 40 tonnes, the gas-powered trucks are a similar size to a typical Royal Mail heavy goods vehicle (HGV). They are well designed to carry mail and equipment of all shapes and sizes and can be used on most roads and highways. The vehicles can travel up to 400 miles at a time and are designed to provide goods transport, while reducing any associated carbon emissions. Additionally, in the UK, bio-CNG fuel can be significantly cheaper than diesel. The new trucks will operate from Warrington, Chorley and Preston, where refuelling facilities are located nearby. Bio-CNG refuelling facilities are due to be expanded in locations across the UK in coming years.
