Below are just a few pointers that highlight the fact that switching to natural gas is a beneficial option for users of diesel or petrol:

Lower Fuel Costs & Vehicle Excise Duty

You will save money on fuel. At today’s prices natural gas is up to 30% lower than diesel. You will also save money on road tax. Rates are in the region of £500 lower for low emission vehicles.

Exemption From Congestion Charging

Cleaner burning ngvs are exempt from the London congestion charging. Low Emissions relative to Diesel Particulates (PM10), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Benzene & Sulphur, Non-Methane (Reactive) Hydrocarbons and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) are all reduced when compared to diesel.

Noise Reduction

Compared to diesel engines NGVs make half the noise of ordinary diesel engined vehicles. This means that for some companies, overnight deliveries to urban centres and other noise sensitive locations can be implemented. The benefits … Less traffic, less congestion, and a smoother operation.

LCNG - Liquefied Compressed Natural Gas

LNG which is delivered by road tanker in a liquid form can be pressurised and vaporised to give LCNG. This new technology means that LNG refuelling stations have the ability to dispense two fuels - LNG & CNG - offering a variety of supply options to fleet operators.
