August 2, 2021. CNG Fuels opened a new natural gas refueling station for heavy trucks in Newark, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. The new station is the first to serve the North East region and is capable of refueling up to 500 vehicles per day, making it one of the biggest stations in the UK, according to the company.
Most of the UK is already within a 300-mile round trip of a CNG Fuels renewable biomethane station, and the new site will put Lincoln and Sheffield within its range and serve local and passing fleets using the A1 north and south.
The announcement comes as the UK government sets out plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel HGVs from 2040 under its transport decarbonization plan.
The Newark station is the latest in CNG Fuels’ network of refueling stations covering the UK. The company already operates six stations across the country and plans to open a further 12-14 stations by the end of 2022. The network will support the burgeoning sector as the number of trucks running on bio-CNG increases five-fold within the next five years, says CNG Fuels.
