Volvo Trucks has developed an ‘efficient’ natural gas diesel dual-fuel engine meeting Euro V exhaust emission standards. Field testing will start in Sweden and the UK in 2010. Volvo Trucks says its technology has significantly increased operational range by combining higher density liquified methane gas with diesel and using this fuel in a diesel engine. The company further states that the diesel engine’s driveability is better compared to a spark ignited engine. The solution is based on Volvo’s Euro 5 diesel engines. When the engines are converted for gas operation, special tanks are added for either liquid volume-efficient methane gas (Liquefied natural gas – LNG/Liquefied biogas – LBG) or pressurised methane gas (compressed natural gas – CNG/compressed biogas – CBG). In addition, a separate fuel system is added with gas injectors in the inlet manifold. (NGV Global)
