Jan Zandbergen has had a sustainable LNG truck in her fleet since mid-April. LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas and is a cleaner alternative to diesel. Although the initial investment is higher than with a “standard” truck, Jan Zandbergen has consciously opted for this investment from a sustainability point of view. The company is very curious to gain experience with this type of truck.
Jan Zandbergen’s new truck is a Volvo FH LNG. Henjo van Alphen, Delivery Manager at Jan Zandbergen: “We have eight trucks in our fleet. One was due for replacement. Considering CO2 reduction we think the LNG truck is very interesting. We opt for sustainability when possible. With the purchase of an LNG truck we are one of the pioneers. We also want to gain experience with this first LNG truck before proceeding to a possible second. ”
A TNO test shows that a Volvo FH LNG truck has an average CO2 reduction of 19% compared to Euro 6 diesel trucks previously tested by TNO. The truck for Jan Zandbergen will mainly be used for domestic transport.
We opt for sustainability when possible.
