We are stepping on the gas for green logistics: Niederrheinische Mineraltransportgesellschaft (NMTG) is the first HUETTEMANN GROUP company to test liquefied natural gas as a drive concept. Since August 2019, several tractor units have been in use for silo transport in the Ruhr region. The drive with liquefied petroleum gas promises several ecological and economic advantages: Compared to conventional Euro6 diesel, LNG vehicles are said to emit 20 per cent less CO2, 80 per cent less nitrogen oxides and almost no particulate matter. Noise pollution is also to be halved. At the same time, subsidised gas prices, a toll exemption until the end of 2020 and government subsidies for the purchase make gas trucks attractive.
