Reduce your footprint with gas-powered trucks

Are you looking for a smaller environmental footprint and lower fuel costs in your transport operation? Take a closer look at our gas-powered trucks. Available for everything from waste collection and delivery transports to demanding regional haul and long haul transport. They come in versions that can be driven on LNG – produced from both natural gas and biogas depending on availability. With a good supply of fuel globally and potential to reduce your CO2 footprint by 20*–100%***, they offer a smooth transition to environmentally sustainable transport.

Our LNG trucks

For regional haul and long haul transport, you can get the Volvo FM LNG and the Volvo FH LNG with operating range up to 1000 km with high performance on liquefied nautral gas or biogas.

Volvo FH gas-powered

The Volvo FH gas-powered is optimised for long haul transport. The powertrain is based on Volvoʼs diesel engine technology. But instead of diesel only, it runs on bio-LNG or LNG, and a small of amount diesel or HVO. This reduces the CO₂ footprint and offers the opportunity to cover long distances, with high payload climate neutral.

What is LNG?

LNG is natural gas or biogas that’s been liquefied by bringing it down to low temperature. When the gas liquefies, it reduces in volume that makes it possible to have enough fuel on board to drive long haul transports. Supported by the EU, the network of LNG filling stations is growing throughout Europe. This means LNG offers a huge potential as a substitute for diesel in trucks. Our LNG-powered trucks operating on fossil natural gas, reduce the CO2 emissions by 20%* compared to diesel. And when operating on biogas, the CO2 emissions are reduced by 100%***.

What is CNG?

Biogas and natural gas that have been compressed to a high pressure are sold as bio-LNG and CNG respectively. Our CNG-powered trucks offer enough power, torque and range to handle demanding delivery transport and waste collection. When using compressed biogas, the CO₂ emissions are reduced by up to 70%.
