November 21, 2022. Gasum continues to expand the gas filling station network and is investing with partners to enable the use of environmentally friendlier fuel across Sweden. The latest addition and the twentieth station opening in Vårgårda is part of the cooperation between Sandahls Logistik, Volvo Trucks and Gasum.
The Vårgårda station means Gasum has 22 liquefied natural gas (LNG) across Sweden and a total of 50 across the Nordics, where some stations are operated by Gasum’s partners. As the infrastructure expands, there will be more and more gas-powered vehicles on Swedish roads. Today, there are an estimated 600 heavy-duty vehicles that run on LNG.
“We are pleased that the Swedish government continues to support the building of biogas plants and filling stations. The clear signal and priority given to gas in the transition to a fossil-free society is in line with Gasum’s goal of a cleaner tomorrow. Gasum is actively building new biogas plants and by expanding the Swedish gas infrastructure will make it possible for more and more actors the length and breadth of the country to switch to environmentally friendly and cost effective alternative fuels”, says Sharareh Edström, Director, Traffic Sweden at Gasum.
