Food Surplus Management, which currently has three Scania CNG trucks, plans to move its entire fleet of 35 trucks to this eco-friendly alternative fuel source.

Over the course of coming weeks, the trucks will be introduced to the company’s fleet in the North West of England, in addition to the two already in operation.

The operator has decided to extend last year’s order and to commission another 30 articulated buses running on natural gas.

The plan also includes the evaluation for the installation of natural gas refueling facilities in garages for fleet owners and bus operators.

The vehicles, which have involved an investment of close to 1.3 million euros, will enter service at the end of May or the beginning of June.

Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources revealed that filling stations of natural gas-powered cars are planned to rise from 306 to 1,000 by the end of 2021.

According to data published by the State Gas Company of Minas Gerais, in the first four months of this year some 1,212 vehicles were converted to the gaseous fuel.

The Memorandum will allow FPT Industrial and Landi Renzo Group to leverage their proven and renowned specific competences and technological capabilities for both natural gas and hydrogen.

It will be capable of refueling 80 HGVs an hour from 14 high speed dispensers and joins six existing filling stations already operational across the United Kingdom.
