Say G’Day to our Flashlube Electronic Valve Saver
E2 Kit, the innovative way to protect LPG and CNG
vehicles from Valve Seat Recession.
AWARD WINNING
Proudly Australian made, our E2 Kit has won
the 2015 Australian Automotive Aftermarket
Innovation award.
Our system improves on the award winning
design released in 2009, with the addition of
a ‘Smart Pump’ and next generation ECU.
The self-priming ‘Smart Pump’ is designed to
both initiate fluid flow as soon as correct
installation is complete and stop pumping if
the reservoir is empty so it will not run dry.
The E2 Kit’s ECU will synchronise with LPG and
CNG systems and features an adjustment dial
that is simply set to match with a vehicles cylinder
capacity, removing any programming difficulty.
Our unique Flashlube formula, developed by
German CSIRO scientist Wolfgang Kluenner,
is the world’s solution to valve seat recession.

T
HE INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC & EXPERT MEETING OF GAS PROFESSIONALS WAS HELD
SUCESSFULLY IN THE CONGRESS CENTRE ON 4TH TILL 6TH OF MAY 2016. THE LARGEST
ANNUAL GAS EVENT IN SEE, ORGANIZED BY CROATIAN GAS CENTRE AND CROATIAN
GAS ASSOCIATION, GATHERED MORE THAN 550 PARTICIPANTS FROM 22 EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES. TOTALLY 230 GAS AND ENERGY COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS WERE
PRESENT, OF WHOM 85 FROM ABROAD AND 10 MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES.
The event featured the three-day exhibition
of gas equipment where 44 exhibitors from 10
countries presented their products and services.
Total of 48 scientific and professional papers and
6 technical-commercial papers (round-tables)
were presented covering nine current gas topics.
Within the topic The effects of CO2 emissions
on gas and future energy systems the basis and
the partial results related to low-carbon strategy
for the Republic of Croatia by the year 2030 and
a view of the year 2050 were presented. Special
attention was placed on the role of gas and its role
in the transition period, with an emphasis on subsectors and the reference scenario NUR along with
scenarios relating to gradual transitions NU1 and
strong transitions NU2.
The topic Development of intelligent
technology in gas and energy systems was
commenced with a presentation explaining the
experience of Germany in optimisation of gas
network pressure management, primarily in regard
to detection and control of possible gas due to gas
leakages. The practical possibilities of controlling
gas consumption in a new way via remote data
processing and resolving issues regarding nonpayers using a new technology and meters that can
remotely shut off gas flow until users settle their
financial obligations.
Planned development projects in the Republic
of Croatia were presented by Plinacro company
and current preparations for implementing the
terminal infrastructure of the potential LNG
project on the island of Krk, with an overview of
undertaken actions and money obtained from EU
funds. An overview is given of the technological
development and progress in maintaining
a gas system in terms of pipeline controls and
security, including ongoing improvement of
chromatographic monitoring of gas quality and
the modernisation of quality data transmission.
Lectures on the topic Supplying gas in
a liberalised market provided a clear overview of
inequality in the level of development of the natural
gas market in the region, where Serbia is a country
in which the process of market liberalisation is
yet to begin, Hungary already possesses 6 years in
successful application of the liberalization and the
temporary cancelling the principle of “take or pay”
in the contract between Naftogaz and Gazprom is
presented and future consequences on the supply
of natural gas by Ukraine.
Within the topic Technical, economic and
other issues associated with the LNG and LPG
a reference was made to explaining optimisation of
urban gas networks in the future thermal energy
market, and thereafter a look at the models of
assessing risks associated with the gas usage in
industry using examples from France. Presentation
of possibilities and potential use of gas in transport
in Croatia was given in regard to the low-carbon
strategy, which was an introduction to talks on
LNG in the transport industry.

As of the end of 2015, Gazprom and its affiliates owned 52 CNG
filling stations in Europe: Germany, the Czech Rep. and Poland –
representing an almost 1.5-fold increase from 2014. Since early
2016, the Company added 14 more units to its CNG station network,
bringing their number to 66. It is planned to expand the network
further by the end of this year.
In Germany’s port of Rostock, Gazprom and Gasunie are constructing
a small-scale LNG terminal for receiving, storing, and shipping
liquefied natural gas that will be used as a bunker and vehicle fuel,
as well as an energy resource for autonomous gasification purposes.
The Rostock terminal will be loaded with LNG from the Company’s
planned LNG production capacities in northwestern Russia. The first
vessel was bunkered with LNG in March this year.

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) has signed new
contracts with Greek companies Maran Gas Maritime and Maran
Tankers Management for the construction of 2 dual-fuel (natural gas/
HFO) ME-GI powered LNG carriers. The LNG carriers are slated for
delivery in 2019.
The Korean shipbuilder announced on June 9 that it won the orders
at the international shipping exhibition Posidonia in Greece. Maran
Gas Maritime has already 4 ME-GI powered LNG carriers on order
at DSME. The newbuildings are described as the next generation
of eco-friendly vessels meeting IMO Tier III. The 173,400 cbm LNG
carriers, measuring 295 m (LOA) x 46 m (beam), will each be fitted
with MAN B&W 2 x 5G70ME-C9.5-GI gas and fuel burning engines
fulfilling IMO Tier III by EGR in both gas and fuel mode. This engine
type is expected to raise fuel efficiency significantly compared to
a standard LNG carrier, while at the same time lowering emissions.
The ME-GI dual fuel low speed diesel engine represents the
culmination of many years of development work.

P
ARKER HANNIFIN CORPORATION, THE GLOBAL LEADER IN MOTION AND CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES, INTRODUCES THE FM80 FUEL
REGULATION MODULE, THE INDUSTRY’S ONLY FULLY INTEGRATED CNG FLOW CONTROL AND REGULATION SYSTEM FOR MEDIUM- AND
HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES WITH 5- TO 12-LITER ENGINES. PARKER’S ADVANCED FM80 WITHSTANDS EXTREME VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE,
FLOW, VIBRATION, SUPPLY PRESSURE, AND GAS COMPOSITION, SETTING A NEW STANDARD IN CNG FUEL HANDLING.
Most current gas handling systems are typically
comprised of a rubber-like diaphragm regulator,
filter, sensors and solenoid plumbed together
with a multitude of fittings.
Unlike current systems, Parker’s FM80 features
an advanced FM80 metal piston-style regulator,
coalescent filters, pressure sensors, a lock-off
solenoid valve, heat exchanger, and low-pressure
relief valve, all in one compact body. Other
components to complete the fully customizable,
integrated system include choice of Parker’s
best-in-class hoses, fittings, seals, manual shutoff valve, check valves, receptacles, and nozzles.
The system offers customizable levels of
integration and more configuration options
than comparable products. The complete CNG
fuel system exceeds industry standards for
leakage and safety. It has been tested on a variety
of engines and meets the flow and regulation
specifications of all leading OEMs with CNG
options.
Mr Madhukar Puniani, Business Development
Manager (Natural Gas Systems), Parker Veriflo
Division said: “Aside from being the only complete
system solution on the market, the Parker FM80
Fuel Regulation Module offers several breakthrough
features to improve performance and vehicle
uptime. Incorporation of a larger oil sump means
longer times between filter drains, helping increase
driver productivity and asset utilization. Innovative
technology prevents freezing problems in the winter
and eliminates leakage of gas into coolant from
wear of soft diaphragms and seals over time.”
08
The FM80 was engineered for medium- to
heavy-duty vehicles like delivery and day cab
trucks, cement trucks, school and transit buses,
and waste refuse/recycling vehicles. Optimized
for advanced fuel handling performance in 5- to
12-liter engines, Veriflo’s piston-style regulator
design offers stable pressure delivery and control
of CNG throughout the full range of extreme
engine and environmental operating conditions.
Integrated internal regulator components,
with fewer connections, work together to
eliminate fuel line failures due to freezing,
dampen flowinduced vibration, reduce drop at
high flow, and extend cycle life.
The manifold design of the regulator system
reduces the chance of fuel line pressure increase
due to reduced volume of fuel between the
solenoid valve and regulator seals.
In addition to the FM80, Parker offers multiple
fuel module options for system integrators and
OEMs.
The FM80 is designed to achieve the highest
nominal flow rate (175 lb/hr / 80 kg/hr) in the
industry and the lowest low-pressure operating
parameter (250 psig), which increases the usable
range of CNG vehicles by a critical 3-5%.
Other key features and advantages include:
•integrated heating circuit that uses heated
radiator fluid to condition the gas before it
enters the engine, offering improved reliability at low temperatures and eliminating fuel
line failures due to freezing,
• good response to power demand for better
drivability,
•well-dampened piston that reduces flowinduced vibration,
• reduced pressure drop
•constrained motion poppet design eliminates lateral loads and seat wear,
•thermal shielding of internal components
with PTFE seals isolates gas flow, allowing
continuous operation even in extreme -40oF
to + 248oF (-40oC to +120oC) ambients,
•optional boost pressure augmentation for
optimized outlet pressure and performance
of turbocharged engines, and
• compact size, offering maximum efficiency in
a small space.
According to Tamara Horne, General Manager
of Parker Veriflo Division: “As a global company,
Parker is committed to providing cutting-edge
technologies to reduce the world’s dependence on
diesel fuel, which is widely used in medium- and
heavy-duty fleet and industrial vehicles.
Natural gas is cleaner, more economical, and
less toxic to the air and environment than diesel.
Parker is proud to be the first manufacturer to
offer a fully integrated, high-performance CNG fuel
management system in the new Parker FM80 Fuel
Regulation Module.
It’s the ideal system when performance and
productivity of your fleet is critical to your business.”
Parker leads the way in the design and
manufacture of multi-technology systems,
subsystems, and components that filter,
regulate, control, and convey CNG. Parker Veriflo
also offers the industry’s best fleet dispensing
solutions for high-flow, high-cycle CNG
applications.

RES-T methane market
in Finland 2015
I
N 2015 BIOGAS (BG) WAS THE ONLY FORM OF RENEWABLE METHANE UTILIZED IN TRANSPORTATION (RES-T METHANE) IN FINLAND AND
ALL OF IT WAS REACTOR BIOGAS. LANDFILL GAS HAS NOT YET BEEN USED FOR THIS PURPOSE, ALTHOUGH IT IS CONSUMED IN ELECTRICITY
AND HEAT PRODUCTION PLANTS. OTHER FORMS OF RES METHANE HAVE NEVER BEEN PRODUCED IN FINLAND. THERE ARE PLANS FOR
BEGINNING PRODUCTION OF SYNTHETIC BIOGAS (SBG) AND WIND METHANE, BUT INVESTMENT DECISIONS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE.
Final energy consumption of biogas in transportation was 23
GWh in 2015. All biogas consumed in vehicles was produced from
biowastes, as always during the whole history of traffic biogas
utilization in Finland (since 1941). Energy crops have never been
used for this purpose. Therefore, all traffic biogas is eligible for double
counting under the RES Directive (2009/28/EC). If all would be certified
(this situation has not yet been achieved) the calculated amount would
be 46 GWh for the purposes of the national obligations under the RES
Directive and for the respective Eurostat statistics.
Utilization of biogas as a vehicle fuel grew by 35% compared to
previous year. Within the last decade transportation consumption
of biogas has grown 1200-fold. Graph in Figure 1 shows development
of traffic biogas utilization since 1941, when it first began in Finland.
Vertical axis label "Liikenteen loppuenergia" means end-use energy
consumption for transportation, i.e. conversion losses during
production and distribution are excluded.

(since 1941).
•Utilization of biogas as a vehicle fuel grew by 35% compared to previous year.
•Biogas was consumed in vehicles only as CBG100.
•CBG100 was the cheapest vehicle fuel available at public stations.
•Biogas upgrading capacity grew by 18%.

National statistics of production and consumption of biogas for
transportation applications in Finland during 2015 was released in June
(news 9.6.2016) by the University of Eastern Finland (Lampinen 2016)
as a part of annual Finnish biogas statistics publication (Huttunen &
Kuittinen 2016). As the publication was written in Finnish, content of
the traffic biogas section is reviewed here in English by the author of the
original publication. Not all of the contents of the original publication
are covered here. But some additional data, which was collected during
the research, is given here, although it was not included in the original
publication.

In 2015, like always, biogas was consumed in vehicles only
as CBG100, i.e. 100% Compressed BioGas. There were 24 public
CBG100 filling stations (operated by 7 companies listed in Table 2)
and many different kind of private stations in operation. CBG100 was the
cheapest vehicle fuel available at public stations. Locations of public CBG100
filling stations are found at the Map of biogas filling stations and upgrading plants
in Finland. Biogas had 35% share of methane consumption in transportation and
70% share of methane consumption in road transportation. This difference is
caused by absence of biogas utilization in water transportation.

In 2014 the whole public CBG100 filling station network became open access. It means that
operator specific contracts and fuel cards are no longer required by any operator (although 3
operators offer such option, too). Open access network is especially relevant for foreign visitors.
It was one of the targets set by the Finnish Biogas Association in 2013 regarding qualitative
development of CBG networks in Europe.
It is also included in the Directive on Clean Transport Infrastructure (2014/94/EU),
which requires building EU wide open access public methane filling station network.
Of the seven targets proposed by the Finnish Biogas Association three have now
been completed in Finland:
1: Creation and maintenance of a CBG100 station map (achieved in 2013)
2: Marking CBG100 availability at all stations (achieved in 2002)
4: Open availability of CBG100 at all stations (achieved in 2014)
In addition, the following target is almost achieved:
7: All CMG stations become CBG100 stations: All public stations selling
CBG already sell CBG100. Blends of CBG and CNG are not available.
But there is still one public station selling CNG only. However, progress
has been remarkable since 2011, when 16 CNG-only public stations were
in operation. Considerable progress has in the last few years taken place
in relation to public stations dedicated to selling CBG100 only (i.e. CNG not
available in pure form or in blends). Until 2013 there was only one such station,
but in 2015 there were six.
One of the targets was achieved, but lost in 2013:
3: Using RES language for RES fuels: Naturally, renewable fuels should never be
called fossil fuels. Until early 2013 this target was fulfilled in the whole CBG100
network, and in 2015 it was fulfilled by 6 operators out of 7. But one operator,
which had originally fulfilled it, changed its policy in early 2013. However, they did
not switch completely to fossil language (which is common in some countries), but
to a mixture of RES and fossil language: biogas is called biogas (i.e. renewable fuel)
in part of the station, but biogas is called natural gas (i.e. fossil fuel) in another part
of the station.

►
Traffic biogas was produced at 10 biogas upgrading plants (by 8 operators), of which 9 plants
were in operation at the end of the year (Table 3). One plant was taken off-line for product
development and to be relocated later. One new plant was taken into use. Upgrading capacity
grew by 18% and was 3220 Nm3/h at the end of 2015. Locations of upgrading plants are found at
the Map of biogas filling stations and upgrading plants in Finland.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
All 24 public biogas filling stations are CBG100 stations, i.e. they sell
100% biogas (blends with natural gas are not available). For foreign
visitors it is very important to note that all stations are open, i.e.
accessible to all customers (operator specific fuel cards and contracts
are not required). Payment options vary between operators, including
cash, credit cards, bank cards, billing and fuel cards. All stations are
automatic and always open (24/7). In 6 stations only biogas is sold. In
18 stations also natural gas is available: customer chooses either 100%
biogas or 100% natural gas at the pump on those stations. In addition,
there is one public station where only CNG is sold: unlike all public CBG
stations, it is not an open station (i.e. a contract with the operator is
required) so it is not an option for occasional foreign visitors.
Standard fueling connector NGV1 is available in all public stations.
International visitors coming by buses or trucks may also utilize
heavy duty connector NGV2 in 2 public filling stations.
Price of biogas varies between 1.20 and 1.45 euros/kg corresponding
to 0.77-0.93 euros for gasoline equivalent litre.
Dung 3%
Straw 0,01%
Solid
biowaste
22%

The graph shows energetic distribution of resources used for
producing CBG (Compressed BioGas) for filling stations. All was waste
based consisting of biowastes (99.99%) and lignocellulosic plant
wastes (0.01%). Energy crops were not used. It means that all CBG is
eligible for double counting in the national renewable energy statistics
according to the rules of the RES Directive. Since energy use does
not affect nutrient recycling in biogas processes, nutrients could be
recycled independently.

Until 2016 all biogas sold in public CBG100 stations was produced
domestically from biowastes. In 2014 (see graph) sewage had 75%
share, solid biowaste 22%, dung 3% and straw 0.01%. In 2016 one station
sells biogas, which partly originates from energy crops. The rest of the
stations sell 100% biowaste based biogas.
As biogas was sold for vehicles only in pure form, as CBG100
(100% Compressed BioGas), it had by far the lowest average lifecycle
greenhouse gas intensity of all energy sources available in public filling/
charging stations for vehicle use in Finland.
And biogas was also available at lower price than any other energy
form in public filling/charging stations.
Combination of highest environmental quality and lowest price was
complemented by highest technical quality (octane number 130-150)
of fuels suitable for Otto engines. Suitability for Otto engine, i.e. the
most common and the cheapest vehicle engine, also means that cars
able to utilize it are in the same cost range with conventional gasoline
and diesel cars in the Finnish market. As a result of extension of the
public CBG100 filling station network, personal renewable energy
transition in transportation energy consumption became possible in
practice and without financial burdens for about a third of the Finnish
population.

an English abstract. In addition to statistics, which is based on surveys
sent annually to biogas plant operators, they include analysis of statistics
and trends of the biogas industry. In 2011 the Finnish Biogas Association
initiated collection and analysis of traffic biogas statistics, which require
dedicated surveys. They have been included in the Registries since 2011,
when data for the year 2010 was published. The traffic biogas section
covers the whole history of biogas utilization in transportation, which
began in 1941. Since 2010 the Registries have been published by the
University of Eastern Finland. Surveys, analysis and publication of the
Registries are a result of co-operation between University of Eastern
Finland, Finnish Environment Institute and the Finnish biogas industry.
These publications deliver biogas statistics for the official Finnish energy
statistics collected and published by Statistics Finland.
ABOUT THE FINNISH NATIONAL BIOGAS STATISTICS:
Collection, analysis and publication of Finnish biogas statistics and
state of the Finnish biogas industry was an initiative of the Finnish Biogas
Association in 1994. This information, including statistics since 1994, has
been published in a series of Biogas Plant Registries, which now contain
19 volumes. The first three volumes included 3 years each, and the rest
of the volumes include 1 year each. All of the volumes, which now cover
years 1994-2015, are available at the Biogas Plant Registry archive of

P
O KILKU LATACH STAGNACJI ROK 2015 BYŁ DRUGIM Z KOLEI OKRESEM, KIEDY TO W POLSCE ODNOTOWANO WZROST KONSUMPCJI
GAZU PŁYNNEGO LPG DO POZIOMU 245 TYS. TON, CO OZNACZA 2% WZROST W STOSUNKU DO ROKU 2014 R.
Nadal aspekty ekonomiczne decydują o wyborze tego źródła zasilania, jakkolwiek coraz bardziej powszechna jest opinia o zaletach
ekologicznych tego produktu.
Na koniec 2015 r. łączna ilość punktów napełniania pojazdów gazem skroplonym LPG wyniosła 5 420 szt., co oznacza spadek o 40 szt.
w stosunku do roku 2014.
5420
Według ostatnich danych szacuje się, że w 2015 r. ogólna ilość
samochodów osobowych zasilanych gazem skroplonym wyniosła
2 914 tys. szt., co oznacza wzrost netto o prawie 70 tys. szt.

Efekt wprowadzenia opłaty zapasowej został zniwelowany przez
spadek cen notowań ropy naftowej, a w rezultacie przez spadek cen
detalicznych. Utrzymująca się różnica cenowa pomiędzy ceną benzyny a ceną autogazu spowodowała podtrzymanie zainteresowania
instalacjami gazowymi, co w rezultacie skutkowało zwiększoną
sprzedażą.
Sytuacja makroekonomiczna i polityka dużych operatorów paliwowych polegająca na trwałym włączeniu autogazu do swojej oferty
produktowej, wpływa na zmniejszanie się globalnej ilości modułów
autogazowych wraz ze zmianami struktury własnościowej.
Z uwagi na coraz niższą efektywność ekonomiczną wciąż zamykane
są samodzielne punkty sprzedaży autogazu.
Pomimo wskazanej tendencji przewiduje się, że niezależne punkty
tankowania pozostaną charakterystycznym i trwałym elementem
polskiego rynku autogazu.
2 846 000
Jakkolwiek na początku roku istniały uzasadnione obawy dotyczące
potencjalnie negatywnego wpływu nowego podatku w branży, tj.
opłaty zapasowej w wysokości 99 PLN/tonę, to w ciągu roku nie
było dodatkowych informacji ani działań administracji państwowej
aktywujących inne obciążenia.

W 2015 r. sprzedaż LPG do napędu pojazdów wyniosła 1 690 tys.
ton, co oznacza wzrost w tym segmencie o 2,7% w stosunku do roku
poprzedniego. Na wielkość sprzedaży miała wpływ polityka finansowa państwa w odniesieniu do autogazu.
Według szacunków ekspertów i analityków rynku samochodowego w pojazdach samochodowych zainstalowano około 100 - 120
tys. szt. instalacji gazowych do napędu pojazdów samochodowych.
Nadal system ewidencji pojazdów w zakresie rodzaju zużywanego
paliwa jest daleki od doskonałości, jak również brak jest precyzyjnych danych odnośnie ilości pojazdów złomowanych lub wycofywanych z eksploatacji.
W odniesieniu do LPG występuje też proceder powtórnego
montażu niektórych typów zbiorników samochodowych, co jest
zjawiskiem niespotykanym w odniesieniu do paliw tradycyjnych.
W 2015 r. odnotowano nowe oferty koncernów motoryzacyjnych
odnośnie sprzedaży pojazdów z zainstalowaną już fabrycznie
instalacją LPG.
Polscy kierowcy mogą nabywać zarówno samochody osobowe,
jak i większe auta, fabrycznie wyposażone w odpowiednio dobraną
instalację gazową z zachowaniem wszelkich praw gwarancyjnych czy
też serwisowych.
UDZIAŁ AUTOGAZU W RYNKU POJAZDÓW
Na początku 2015 r. udział samochodów osobowych z instalacją
LPG wynosił 14,8% ogólnej ilości samochodów osobowych w Polsce,
co było wielkością na prawie niezmienionym poziomie w stosunku
do 2014 r. Z 27,6% do 28,9% wzrósł udział samochodów z silnikami wysokoprężnymi w globalnej ilości samochodów osobowych
w naszym kraju, a nieznacznie spadł udział samochodów z silnikami
benzynowymi z 57,5% do 56,4%.
Prawie 19% wszystkich samochodów osobowych w Polsce jest zarejestrowanych w województwie mazowieckim. Jednocześnie 18%
z nich ma silniki przystosowane do napędu gazowego. Województwo łódzkie (20,9%) oraz województwo lubelskie (20,1%) to liderzy
ogólnopolscy jeśli chodzi o odsetek samochodów osobowych
z instalacją LPG w globalnej ilości samochodów zarejestrowanych
w danym województwie.
Powyżej średniej ogólnopolskiej lokują się takie województwa jak: warmińsko – mazurskie (15,4%), podlaskie (16,5%) oraz
świętokrzyskie (16,8%).
Na drugim biegunie, tj. wśród województw z najniższym udziałem
samochodów z LPG, plasują się takie województwa jak: zachodnio
- pomorskie (10,4%), dolnośląskie i wielkopolskie (po 10,9%) oraz
lubuskie (11,4%). Jeśli chodzi o olej napędowy jako preferowany
rodzaj paliwa, to najwięcej samochodów z tym napędem w łącznej
ilości samochodów tradycyjnie odnotowuje się w województwie
zachodniopomorskim (30,1%), dolnośląskim (31,1%) i podlaskim
(31,1%).
Szczególnie zastanawiające jest spore zainteresowanie silnikami
Diesla w województwie podlaskim, co może wynikać między innymi z przyczyn związanych z możliwościami nabywania tego rodzaju
paliwa z pominięciem obciążeń fiskalnych.
Najmniejszy udział samochodów przystosowanych do spalania oleju napędowego odnotowano w województwie lubelskim
(20,1%). Województwa śląskie, lubuskie i zachodniopomorskie to
również liderzy jeśli chodzi o samochody z silnikami benzynowymi,
gdzie udział tych samochodów w globalnej ilości samochodów zarejestrowanych w danym województwie waha się od 59,2% w województwach przy granicy zachodniej do 62,7% w województwie śląskim.
W kategorii samochodów osobowych o pojemności silnika do 1399
cm3 udział samochodów z instalacją LPG spadł o 0,5% i wyniósł 10,4%,
a w samochodach o pojemności silnika w przedziale 1400 - 1999 cm3
udział ten wynosił 17,5% ogólnej ilości samochodów w tej kategorii.
Wśród samochodów z instalacją LPG ponownie dominowały pojazdy o pojemności 1400 – 1999 cm3 – 62,1% wszystkich samochodów
z instalacją LPG. Pojazdy z silnikami o pojemności do 1399 cm3 to
29,5% ogólnej ilości pojazdów z LPG.
O 147 sztuk wzrosła liczba ciągników siodłowych z silnikami przystosowanymi do napędu gazowego. Ilość samochodów ciężarowych
o ładowności 1500 kg i więcej wyniosła 8 292 szt. (wzrost o 4 szt.).
Struktura wiekowa samochodów osobowych w naszym kraju nie
uległa zasadniczej zmianie. Pojazdy w przedziale wiekowym 12 - 25 lat
nadal stanowiły 52,3% ogólnej ilości samochodów. W grupie wiekowej
powyżej 25 lat znalazło się 19,3% wszystkich zarejestrowanych pojazdów. Funkcjonujące przepisy prawne powodują, że nadal kwitnie import używanych samochodów z krajów europejskich, co ma wpływ
strukturę wiekową samochodów w Polsce.
ROZWÓJ AUTOGAZU
Z racji wolumenu sprzedaży największy potencjał rozwojowy nadal
ma sektor autogazu.
Pomimo osiągnięcia znaczącego udziału w rodzaju paliw używanych
do napędu pojazdów, jak na razie pojazdy hybrydowe, czy też zasilane gazem ziemnym, nie stanowią znaczącej konkurencji dla pojazdów z instalacją LPG. Regulacje europejskie o rozwoju infrastruktury
dla paliw alternatywnych przewidują różnego rodzaju programy rozwoju dla innych nośników napędu, ale gaz LPG jest również w nich
wymieniany jako paliwo alternatywne.
Opublikowane niedawno przez Światową Organizację Zdrowia
wyniki badań w odniesieniu do emisji cząstek stałych i tlenków azotu
przez silniki zasilane olejem napędowymi i ich negatywny wpływ
na zdrowie spowodowały szereg dyskusji i weryfikacji dotychczasowych poglądów o paliwach tradycyjnych. Zalety ekologiczne gazu
LPG zyskują powszechne zrozumienie i coraz częściej uwzględniane
są w przepisach w naszym kraju.
Pierwsze sygnały w tym zakresie pojawiły się w 2015 r., kiedy to
przedstawiono projekt odpowiedniego rozporządzenia ministerialnego z podziałem pojazdów na klasy emisyjności w zależności od rodzaju
napędu. Innym bodźcem do rozwoju może być uregulowanie kwestii
wykorzystania paliw gazowych w silnikach traktorów rolniczych.
Polska jest jednych z pionierów światowych w tym zakresie, a nawet
zamontowano i przetestowano nowe rozwiązania technologiczne.
Z przyczyn formalnoprawnych instalacje tego typu nie mogą być jednak wykorzystywane do ciągników rolniczych poruszających się po
cd. na str.18 ►
17
◄ cd. ze str. 17
drogach publicznych. Największy potencjał rozwojowy w sektorze autogazu ma zastosowanie w ciężarowym transporcie samochodowym,
jak również w autach osobowych fabrycznie wyposażonych
w instalację LPG.
Nikogo już w naszym kraju nie dziwi fakt, że dystrybutor do wydawania LPG jest zlokalizowany obok innych dystrybutorów paliwowych,
a czasami jest to jedno urządzenie. Reklamy w mediach, w tym
telewizyjne w porze największej oglądalności, zachęcające do zakupu nowego samochodu już wyposażonego w instalację LPG stały się
normą.
W ciągu ostatnich kilku lat zmieniło się znacznie postrzeganie gazu
z paliwa o pewnym charakterze socjalnym na pełnoprawny, ekonomiczny i ekologiczny nośnik napędu. Polska ma wszelkie możliwe
przesłanki technologiczne, aby pozostać liderem w Unii Europejskiej
nie tylko pod względem wielkości sprzedaży autogazu, ale również
posiadania lokalnej produkcji zbiorników, instalacji oraz rozwiązań
technicznych o wysokim stopniu innowacyjności.
LPG W POJAZDACH ROLNICZYCH
Instalacje gazowe w pojazdach kategorii „T” Jak dotychczas brak
jest możliwości konwersji układów napędowych pojazdów kategorii
„T” do zasilania gazem. Problem od jakiegoś czasu sygnalizują firmy
z reprezentowanego przez POGP sektora jak również branża rolnicza, która postuluje za pilnym rozpoczęciem prac nad tym zagadnieniem wskazując na możliwości techniczne dostępnych instalacji,
ekonomikę tego przedsięwzięcia jak i na niewątpliwe zalety ekologiczne paliw gazowych.
Co istotne, silniki z zamontowaną instalacją LPG w ciągnikach mają
większą moc, co w znaczący sposób wpływa na obniżenie kosztów
paliwa. Dotychczasowe regulacje prawne obejmują wyłącznie pojazdy kategorii „M’” i „N” (pojazdy do przewozu osób i samochody
transportowe), natomiast nie obejmują swoim zakresem kategorii
„T”, tj. ciągników rolniczych, co w istocie ogranicza stosowanie paliw
gazowych w odniesieniu do tej kategorii.
Warto jednocześnie zauważyć, że wskazane rozwiązanie od dawna
z wykorzystywane jest w innych krajach z dużym powodzeniem,
a obecnie także w Polsce w autach ciężarowych i autobusach. Brak
regulacji prawnych odnośnie ciągników rolniczych pozostawia lukę
w przepisach i nie odpowiada w pełni zachodzącym zmianom technicznym i tendencjom rynkowym.
Z kolei znaczna ilość z produkowanych w Polsce każdego roku łodzi
żaglowych i motorowych o długości do 9,5 m (ok. 100 tys. wg portalu
Platine.pl) wyposażanych jest w instalacje LPG już w stoczni.
W krajowych regulacjach prawnych istnieje luka dotycząca gazu LPG
w pojazdach typu kamper.
Brakuje przepisów wykonawczych do norm okresowej kontroli szczelności czy standardów wykonania instalacji. Brak takich
uregulowań może przyczynić się do wzrostu liczby wypadków
w przypadku użycia gazu LPG do ogrzewania czy napędu tych pojazdów,
a w konsekwencji do zdarzeń zagrażających życiu ludzkiemu.
POGP jest żywo zainteresowana rozpoczęciem prac nad uregulowaniami umożliwiającymi wykorzystanie tego gazu w pojazdach
typu kamper i na jachtach.
SZARA STREFA
W branży LPG, tak jak w całej branży paliwowej, występuje zjawisko
unikania płacenia podatków. Szacuje się, że w samym tylko sektorze
autogazu zjawisko tzw. szarej strefy wynosi około 5-7% całości obrotu.
Wielokrotnie w swoich poprzednich raportach POGP szczegółowo
opisywała mechanizmy umożliwiające tego typu proceder. Z uwagi na swoją specyfikę produktową istnieją zdecydowanie większe
możliwości kontroli obrotu gazem przez organy władzy państwowej
w porównaniu do paliw tradycyjnych. POGP uważa m.in., że powinien być dokonany przegląd firm posiadających koncesje na obrót LPG,
w tym przeprowadzona odrębna analiza systemu koncesjonowania
w tej branży, jak również analiza przepływów strumieni produktu
w relacjach dostawca – odbiorca ze zwróceniem uwagi na przeznaczenie i wolumen zużycia produktu wraz z kontrolą posiadanych warunków technicznych i odpowiednich certyfikatów.
Organizacja w pełni podziela pogląd, że nie ma jednolitego nadzoru
nad rynkiem. Dostrzega się podzielone kompetencje, brak centralnej bazy danych sektora paliwowego, brak dostępu do baz danych
poszczególnych instytucji, brak jednolitej regulacji prawnej – prawa
naftowego.
Wskazane deficyty oraz brak koordynacji kilkunastu państwowych
urzędów i instytucji uprawnionych do kontroli obrotu powoduje
funkcjonowanie patologicznych zjawisk rynkowych.
Źródło: Raport Roczny POGP
NOWE UREGULOWANIA PRAWNE?
POGP widzi coraz większą potrzebę rozpoczęcia prac nad wprowadzeniem odpowiednich rozwiązań na szczeblu krajowym, w tym
uregulowań prawnych dotyczących możliwości wykorzystania gazu
LPG w kamperach, na jachtach i łodziach.
Wykorzystywanie tego ekologicznego i niskoemisyjnego gazu
w caravaningu czy jachtingu znakomicie wpisuje się w filozofię obu
form spędzania czasu.
Obecnie szacuje się, że w Polsce zarejestrowanych jest ok 50 tys.
przyczep i kamperów (wg Polskiej Federacji Campingu i Caravaningu) z czego większość wyposażona jest w kuchenkę, ogrzewanie lub
lodówkę na propan - butan.

darunter auch auf einer der bedeutendsten Alleen von Madrid, der Paseo de
la Castellana, die sich im Herzen der spanischen Hauptstadt befindet.
NEUER GASMOTOR M 936 G: PARADEBEISPIEL FÜR DOWNSIZING
Herzstück des neuen Citaro NGT ist der Erdgasmotor Mercedes-Benz
M 936 G. Mit 7,7 l Hubraum handelt es sich um den derzeit kompaktesten
Erdgasmotor seiner Klasse: Mit einem Gewicht von nur 747 kg einschließlich
Vorkatalysator ist das Triebwerk ein Paradebeispiel für erfolgreiches
Downsizing.
Der Erdgasmotor basiert auf dem hochmodernen Turbodieselmotor OM
936. Der stehend eingebaute Reihensechszylinder wird als monovalenter
Motor mit komprimiertem Erd- bzw. Biogas betrieben. Er leistet 222 kW
(302 PS) bei 2000/min, erreicht ein maximales Drehmoment von 1200 Nm
konstant von 1200 bis 1600/min und unterschreitet die Abgasgrenzwerte
von Euro VI zum Teil erheblich. Mit diesen Daten und seiner kraftvollen
Leistungsentfaltung ist der einstufig aufgeladene Motor seinem Pendant
mit Dieselantrieb völlig ebenbürtig. Die Leistungs- und Drehmomentkurven
verlaufen im Hauptfahrbereich von Leerlaufdrehzahl bis etwa 1500/
min deckungsgleich. Oberhalb arbeitet der Erdgasmotor sogar einen
leichten Leistungs- und Drehmomentvorteil heraus. Gleichzeitig setzt der
Erdgasmotor von Mercedes-Benz die Messlatte für Umweltfreundlichkeit
besonders hoch, denn die CO2-Emissionen eines Erdgasmotors liegen bis
zu zehn Prozent unter denen eines Dieselmotors. Bei Verwendung von
Bio-Erdgas wird diese CO2-Bilanz nochmals attraktiver, dann fährt ein
Erdgasbus nahezu CO2-neutral.
LEISE, WIRTSCHAFTLICH UND KOMPAKT: ERDGASANTRIEBE MIT ZUKUNFT
Das Segment der Stadtbusse in Westeuropa beläuft sich auf durchschnittlich
rund 10 500 Neuzulassungen im Jahr mit einem stabilen Niveau.
Auf den hochspezialisierten Bereich der Stadtomnibusse mit Erdgasantrieb
entfallen in Europa derzeit knapp 1000 Einheiten im Jahr. Mercedes-Benz
rechnet damit, dass sich diese Zahl im Rahmen von Diskussionen über die
Umweltbelastung in Ballungsgebieten oder Ressourcenschonung künftig
weiter erhöhen kann. Hartmut Schick dazu: „Der neue Erdgasantrieb ist wie
auch unsere Euro VI-Dieseltechnologie eine bezahlbare Serientechnik, mit der
dieses Ziel heute schon zu wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen erreicht werden kann“.
Die Städtische Verkehrsgesellschaft EMT Madrid verfügt über einen
Fuhrpark mit 1920 Bussen. Die Busse kommen auf eine Fahrleistung von
jährlich knapp einer Million Kilometer, dabei werden 425 Millionen Fahrgäste
befördert. Das Liniennetz hat eine Länge von rund 3600 km mit rund 10 000
Haltestellen. EMT Madrid wurde 1947 gegründet und gehört zu 100 Prozent
der Stadt Madrid.

In Kürze ist nun der neue Opel Zafira bestellbar. Und wenn er ab
September zu den Händlern rollt, setzt er nicht nur auf die bekannten und
bewährten Qualitäten seiner Vorgänger wie das Flex7®-Sitzsystem, die
AGR-zertifizierten Ergonomie-Vordersitze (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.),
den FlexFix®-Fahrradträger und das adaptive FlexRide-Fahrwerk – der neue
Zafira kommt mit einem ebenso ausdrucksstarken neuen Außendesign
und neu gestaltetem Innenraum mit besonders großzügigem Ambiente
und herausragender Vernetzung. Die neueste Generation des IntelliLinkInfotainment-Systems von Opel ist sowohl mit Apple CarPlay als auch mit
Android Auto kompatibel; der persönliche Online- und Service-Assistent
Opel OnStar macht den neuen Zafira zum mobilen 4G/LTE-WLAN-Hotspot
für Fahrer, Freunde und Familie. Darüber hinaus bietet Opel erstmals in dieser
Fahrzeugklasse die jüngste Generation des adaptiven Fahrlichts AFL mit LEDTechnologie an (AFL = Adaptive Forward Lighting). So wird der neue Zafira
zur komfortablen Reise-Lounge für Fahrer und Passagiere.

QUALITÄT, DIE MAN SIEHT: SPORTLICHES AUSSENDESIGN
UND HOCHWERTIGER INNENRAUM
Die dynamisch gestalteten Scheinwerfer und der deutlich sportlichere
Grill betonen das frische Zafira-Design. Die Frontscheinwerfer verschmelzen
mit dem Kühlergrill und bilden optisch eine Einheit. Die dreidimensionale
Chromspange mit dem Opel-Logo läuft in die Scheinwerfer und macht den
Zafira optisch breiter. Den markanten Eindruck unterstreichen die neuen
markentypischen Doppelschwingen-LED-Tagfahrlichter. Die Vorderräder
kommen in den muskulös wirkenden Radhäusern zur Geltung. So sieht
die neue Zafira-Front, deren obere Schwinge auch als LED-Blinker fungiert,
kraftvoll, sportlich und dynamisch aus.
„Das Front-Design des neuen Zafira übernimmt wesentliche Merkmale
des preisgekrönten neuen Opel Astra und ist damit ein fester Bestandteil im
Modellportfolio von Opel. Das scharf gezeichnete Doppelschwingen-Tagfahrlicht
zeugt von Raffinesse, die sich auch im Innenraum widerspiegelt. Mit der komplett
neu gestalteten Instrumententafel wirkt das Cockpit klarer, aufgeräumter und ist
einfacher zu bedienen“, sagt Mark Adams, Vice-President GM Europe Design.
Das neu gestaltete Cockpit-Design wirkt klarer und zugleich eleganter.
Es ermöglicht Fahrer und Beifahrer eine optimale Sicht nach vorne. Dazu
liegen alle wichtigen Funktionen des neuen Zafira wie das Display und

die Bedientasten in idealer Griffweite des Fahrers. Saß der Monitor des
Infotainment-Systems bisher oben auf der Mittelkonsole, wurde er im neuen
Zafira-Cockpit durch einen Touchscreen ersetzt und ein Stück tiefer in die
Mittelkonsole integriert. Gleichzeitig konnten die Designer so auf zahlreiche
Knöpfe verzichten. Der qualitativ hochwertige Sieben-Zoll-Touchscreen mit
vollverzinktem Rahmen vermittelt die Anmutung eines Premium-Tablets.
Das neue, dreidimensional gestaltete Lenkrad sieht dank der besonders
klein gehaltenen Airbag-Abdeckung nicht nur gut aus, es liegt auch äußerst
ergonomisch in den Händen.
des Zafira gemäß ISO 3832 710 Liter, die auf 1.860 Liter anwachsen, wenn die
zweite Sitzreihe nach vorn geklappt wird.
Darüber hinaus finden sich im Zafira mehr als 30 Staumöglichkeiten
inklusive der bereits erwähnten FlexRail®-Mittelkonsole. Äußerst praktisch
ist der ins Fahrzeugheck integrierte FlexFix®-Fahrradträger, der sich wie eine
Schublade unter dem hinteren Stoßfänger herausziehen lässt und bis zu vier
Fahrräder (mit einem Gesamtgewicht bis zu 80 Kilogramm) aufnimmt. Selbst
mit beladenem FlexFix®-Fahrradträger bleibt der Kofferraum zugänglich,
denn der Träger lässt sich nach unten kippen.
Opel bietet den neuen Zafira mit zwei IntelliLink-Infotainment-Systemen
der jüngsten Generation an. Das Infotainment-System R 4.0 IntelliLink holt
die Welt der Smartphones in die Lounge auf Rädern und ist sowohl mit
Apple CarPlay als auch mit Android Auto kompatibel. Das Navi 950 IntelliLink
richtet sich an Kunden, die ein Infotainment-System mit festeingebauter
Navigation suchen. Zusätzlich ist Opel OnStar an Bord. Der persönliche
Online- und Service-Assistent schützt die Passagiere mit der automatischen
Unfallhilfe und zahlreichen weiteren Features. Genauso bietet er aber auch
die Möglichkeit, in Verbindung mit dem Navi 950 Ziele herunterzuladen.
Zudem macht Opel OnStar den neuen Zafira zum 4G/LTE-WLAN-Hotspot
(marktabhängig). Bis zu sieben mobile Endgeräte – eines für jeden Passagier
– lassen sich mit dem System koppeln. So wird der neue Zafira zum idealen
Begleiter für Familien oder Berufstätige, die während der Fahrt online sein
wollen.
TOP-TECHNOLOGIEN AN BORD: INNOVATIV, SICHER,
INDIVIDUALISIERBAR, DYNAMISCH
An anderer Stelle haben die Opel-Ingenieure ein weiteres Mal die Maxime
des Unternehmens umgesetzt und fortschrittliche Technologie einer
breiten Käuferschicht zugänglich gemacht: mit der nächsten Generation
des adaptiven Fahrlichts AFL mit LED-Technologie. Das neue AFL-LED-System
passt die Ausleuchtung durch die Scheinwerfer automatisch an die jeweilige
Fahrsituation an, so dass stets die optimale Lichtleistung vorhanden ist.
Das System verfügt über neun verschiedene Funktionen, darunter Stadtund Landstraßenlicht, dynamisches Kurven- und statisches Abbiegelicht,
Einparkausleuchtung sowie Reise-Modus und Stopp-Funktion. Letztere
aktiviert beispielsweise beim Ampel-Stopp den Energiesparmodus.
TOP-KOMBINATION: HÖCHSTE FLEXIBILITÄT TRIFFT LUFTIGE
LOUNGE-ATMOSPHÄRE
Wie schon in den bisherigen Zafira-Generationen können sich Fahrer
und Passagiere auf entspannte Fahrten in den optional erhältlichen AGRzertifizierten Ergonomie-Sitzen freuen. Dazu kommt die multifunktionale
FlexRail®-Mittelkonsole. Das System mit flexiblen Verstaumodulen
zwischen den Vordersitzen enthält unter anderem ein großes Staufach
sowie Getränkehalter, die sich auf Aluminiumschienen an jede gewünschte
Position verschieben lassen und so den Platz zwischen den Sitzen perfekt
nutzen. Für die Passagiere in der zweiten Reihe lässt sich der Fond mit viel
Platz und Komfort in eine großzügige Lounge verwandeln. Ein intelligenter
Mechanismus klappt die Lehne des Mittelsitzes nach vorn und bildet somit
bequeme Armlehnen für die beiden äußeren Sitze. Diese gleiten zudem
schräg nach hinten in Richtung Fahrzeugmitte – die Passagiere genießen im
Lounge-Sitzsystem so eine großzügige Bein- und Schulterfreiheit wie in einer
Oberklasse-Limousine. Die dritte Sitzreihe lässt sich ebenfalls vollständig
nach vorn klappen; die Lehnen verschwinden im Boden und bilden im
Kofferraum eine vollkommen ebene Ladefläche. Individueller Komfort steht
also an erster Stelle und macht aus dem neuen Zafira weitaus mehr als nur
ein Familienauto – die Opel-Designer haben den flexiblen Innenraum in eine
geräumige Lounge zum Entspannen und Genießen verwandelt, sei es auf
einer Geschäftsreise oder einer Urlaubsfahrt.
Die Panorama-Windschutzscheibe sowie das Panoramadach steigern
auf Wunsch das Komfort- und Raumgefühl noch weiter. Die Frontscheibe
erstreckt sich dabei von der Motorhaube bis fast an die B-Säule. Fahrer und
Beifahrer können nahezu ungehindert nach oben blicken. Das PanoramaSonnendach reicht von der Windschutzscheibe bis zum Heck des Autos,
was die lichte und luftige Lounge-Atmosphäre des Innenraums nochmals
verstärkt.
Die jüngste Version der Opel-Frontkamera unterstützt ebenfalls die
zahlreichen Assistenzsysteme, darunter den Fernlicht-Assistenten des
AFL-LED-Lichts und die Verkehrszeichenerkennung. Die Abstandsanzeige
erkennt mithilfe der Frontkamera vorausfahrende Fahrzeuge, während der
Frontkollisionswarner optische und akustische Warnsignale gibt, wenn
der Abstand zum Vordermann besonders schnell kleiner wird. Der SpurAssistent aktiviert sich automatisch ab 60 km/h und warnt den Fahrer
beim unbeabsichtigten Verlassen der Fahrspur mit einem Symbol in der
Instrumententafel sowie einem Warnton.
Zwei weitere Features, die zum einen den Komfort im neuen Zafira erhöhen
und zum anderen Stress reduzieren, sind der adaptive Geschwindigkeitsregler
und das FlexRide-Fahrwerk. Mittels hinter dem Kühlergrill platzierten
Radarsensoren hält der adaptive Geschwindigkeitsregler das vom Fahrer
gewählte Tempo und gleichzeitig einen festgelegten Abstand zum
Vordermann. Neben der Geschwindigkeit kann der Fahrer auch drei
Abstandsstufen einstellen: weit, mittel und nah. Das adaptive mechatronische
FlexRide-Fahrwerk passt sich je nach den persönlichen Vorlieben des Fahrers
kontinuierlich an den Fahrstil und die Situation an.
Künftige Zafira-Käufer haben außerdem eine große Auswahl an Motoren.
Denn auch der neue Zafira wird das einzige Fahrzeug seiner Klasse mit
der ganzen Bandbreite an Antriebssystemen sein. Zum Einsatz kommen
dynamische Benzin-, Diesel-, Flüssiggas- und Erdgas-Aggregate.

PEED OY, A SPECIALIZED CONTAINER TRANSPORT COMPANY BASED IN HELSINKI, FINLAND, HAS DECIDED TO INTRODUCE A LNG-FUELED
VOLVO FM 460 HP DUAL-FUEL TRUCK TO ITS FLEET OPERATING FROM HELSINKI’S VUOSAARI HARBOR. AN LNG REFUELING STATION FOR
HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLES WILL OPEN AT THE HARBOUR IN AUGUST BY GASUM, A FINNISH GAS COMPANY INTENT ON DEVELOPING THE ROAD FUEL
GAS FILLING STATION NETWORK ENABLING THE USE OF LNG IN HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORT.
”We want to lead the way in the transport sector and introduce new, more
environmentally friendly vehicles to our fleet. LNG is a natural step in our
efforts to make transport greener. We’ve already been involved for four years
in an Eco-Truck trial where large-capacity modular combination vehicles are
operated under a special permit granted by the Finnish Transport Safety Agency
(Trafi). The results are promising: carbon dioxide emissions have been cut by
more than 40%. We’ve received encouraging feedback about the Eco-Truck
from our environmentally responsible customers, and therefore I believe that
the number of Speed’s LNG-fueled vehicles will also increase in the future” – said
Managing Director Tuomo Vallas Speed Oy.
“Speed is setting an example for other transport companies by offering
cleaner container transport. LNG is an excellent alternative for use instead of
diesel for heavy-duty transport and can help reduce emissions” – said Gasum
Sales Manager Petri Michelsson.
“Volvo wants to be actively involved in progress, and by participating like
this we’re able to build and develop the truck sector for better service to our
customers and society in the future while at the same time operating in line with
22
our core value of environmental care. This also helps us make sure we have the
best competencies and knowledge in the sector as regards new technologies and
products” – says Kimmo Ahonen, Director, Vehicle Sales, Finland, Volvo Trucks.
Gasum is developing the road fuel gas filling station network and enabling
the use of LNG in heavy-duty transport in particular. Gasum is strongly
committed to the development of gas vehicle use and as part of the market
development aims to increase the number of filling stations by around 35
new ones over the next ten years. An LNG refueling station for heavy-duty
vehicles will be opened at Vuosaari Harbor in August, while an LCNG filling
station will be ready for service at the Port of Turku in September. LCNG
stations will also be opened in Jyväskylä and Vantaa in 2017.
This infrastructure now under construction will also enable the use of
liquefied biogas (LBG) in heavy-duty transport.
Emissions from vehicles running on natural gas are lower than those from
gasoline and diesel. Gas is also an inexpensive transport fuel.

A record order
for 250 natural gas vehicles!
T
HIS EXCEPTIONAL ORDER IS FOR THE SUPPLY OF 200 STRALIS NP (NATURAL POWER) LNG AND CNG TRACTORS FEATURING THE NEW
CURSOR 9 400 HP ENGINE, HI-WAY CAB AND EUROTRONIC AUTOMATED GEARBOX, AS WELL AS 50 STRALIS NATURAL POWER CNG 330 HP
TRUCKS. WITH THIS CONTRACT IVECO AND PERRENOT GROUP CONFIRM THEIR LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP AND THEIR LEADERSHIP IN
SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY.
Such a significant order marks a turning point in the transition towards
sustainability in road freight transport in Europe. It also validates Iveco's
vision as a pioneer in the natural gas industrial vehicle market for the past two
decades. Today, with a product offering that now covers all market sectors –
from urban distribution to international transport – Iveco has consolidated
its position as the leader in the European market for natural gas commercial
vehicles (Daily, Eurocargo, Stralis).
Founded in 1945, Perrenot Group (formerly known as UNIC) has been a loyal
Iveco customer since 1960, It has grown to be one of France's leading transport
brands across all sectors (mass distribution, long haulage, construction,
bulk, containers, logistics, etc.), both nationally and internationally. Today,
the company employs nearly 4,500 people and operates a fleet of 6,000
registered vehicles, of which 3,500 are motor vehicles. With 1,500 vehicles – of
which 750 are tractors – Iveco is the dominant brand in Perrenot Group’s fleet.
Perrenot Group’s commitment to researching and developing specific,
effective solutions that address the environmental challenges of road
transport, has led the company to introduce as far back as 2008 clean and
silent refrigerated trucks, ideal for night-time delivery missions). The Group
was among the first in Europe to use biomethane-powered Iveco tractors in
their operations in 2012.
To this day, these remain the only vehicles capable of contributing to better
air quality, drastically reducing CO2 emissions, and halving noise levels.
In 2013, having tested other alternative energy solutions, Iveco’s natural gas
technologies proved to be the natural choice for Perrenot Group with the
purchase of the first CNG refrigerated transporters fuelled by liquid nitrogen.
In 2014, the Group took yet another innovative step, commissioning the first
LNG tractors in France.
2016 marks a historic turning point in the collaboration between Perrenot
Group and Iveco with this exceptional order for 250 natural gas Stralis.
The supply contract is testament to the strong partnership and, most
importantly, the two companies’ powerful commitment to sustainable road
transport.
Jacky Perrenot, President and founder of Perrenot Group, stated: "Today
we are taking a key step in our development thanks to Iveco's advanced natural
gas technology – and in particular the brand's new 400 hp engine. Combined
with the dual LNG tank configuration, which increases the tractor’s range to
24
1,500 km, this opens up new business opportunities for us, especially in longdistance transport operations. The exceptional performance of the new Stralis
NP confirms we made the right choice with Iveco’s natural gas technology
as the best alternative to diesel fuel, both economically and environmentally.
Once again, Iveco's product offering and after-sales service package have fully met
our requirements and specifications."
Philippe Givone, President of the Perrenot Group Transport holding
company, added: "For the first time ever, these new Iveco natural gas trucks won’t
be assigned to missions specific to them – instead, they will replace diesel tractors
on current missions, with no need for special adaptations. This is a major change
in our approach to freight transport – a change Iveco has seen coming for a long
time now!"
Pierre Lahutte, Iveco Brand President, concluded: "With this historic order
Perrenot Transport will be running the largest fleet of natural gas trucks in Europe.
For its part, Iveco has reached a further milestone in its leadership in natural gas
technologies for sustainable road transport. We are very proud of Perrenot Group’s
trust in Iveco, which is the result of the unique partnership that has allowed our two
groups to write a new important chapter in the history of sustainable transport
in Europe."
In France, the growing use of biomass (household and agricultural waste,
sewage treatment plants) has enabled the growth of biomethane as an
alternative fuel. This 100% renewable fuel is immediately available and
increasingly widespread in Europe, which now recognises the strategic impact
of this biofuel on the transport sector, as well as its contribution to directive
2009/28/EC on renewable energy sources. Iveco's natural gas-powered
trucks are compatible with biomethane and boast a neutral carbon footprint
(CO2 emissions "from well to wheel"). In other words, their use does not
contribute to global warming.
The introduction of the New Stralis NP, ‘TCO2 Champion’, was a crucial factor
in Perrenot Group’s choice. In addition to the significant reduction in CO2,
the choice of natural gas has also proved to be an economically-viable option,
as the price difference between natural gas and petrol generates substantial
fuel savings – especially so on long distances. The resulting reduction in TCO
(Total Cost of Ownership) contributes to the return on investment. Finally, the
fast growth in the number of natural gas refuelling stations will enable the
development of clean long distance transport on a large scale.

POLISH LPG MARKET
A
FTER A FEW YEARS OF STAGNATION, 2015 WAS THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR WHICH SAW GROWTH OF TOTAL CONSUMPTION
OF LPG. THE TOTAL CONSUMPTION OF LPG IN POLAND WAS 2,245,000T MARKING AN INCREASE OF 2% COMPARED TO 2014. SUCH
CONSUMPTION COMES AS A CERTAIN SURPRISE TO THE LPG SECTOR IN VIEW OF A WARM WINTER AND AUTUMN AND, PRIMARILY,
GIVEN THE DECREASING RETAIL PRICES FOR ALL MOTOR FUELS.
The sectoral structure of LPG sales presented in figure below slightly
changed, too.
The existing difference between petrol and LPG prices supported continued
interests in gas installations which brought in increased sales. Economic
aspects continue to be decisive in selecting that type of fuel; however, an
opinion on ecological advantages of the product has become increasingly
common.
As at the end of 2015, the total number of LPG filling stations was 5,420
which meant a drop by 40 as compared to 2014 (Figure below).
Polish LPG market structure in 2015
Gas for motor vehicles continued to account for the largest share of the
total LPG sales amounting to 75.3% of the total internal LPG consumption.
The other sectors were the following: gas sale in cylinders of 12.9% and gas in
tanks (apart from autogas) at 11.8% of the entire consumption.
Like in the previous year, there was a slight increase in the share of autogas by
0.3% in the overall consumption given an unchanged proportion of bulk gas
delivered to customers’ tanks and the reduced sales of gas in cylinders by 0.6%.
In 2015 LPG sales for motor vehicles was 1,690,000t (Fig. 5) which meant an
increase of 2.7% in the segment against the previous year. The volume of sales
was affected by the state fiscal policy related to LPG for motor vehicles.
Although at the beginning of the year there were reasonable concerns as to
a potential adverse impact of new tax in the sector on sales, i.e. a compulsory
stock fee of PLN 99/t, there was no additional information or actions on the
part of the government during the year as to any other charges. The effect
of the compulsory stock fee was offset by dropping oil prices resulting in
dropping retail prices.
Autogas filling stations in Poland (units)
The macroeconomic situation, the policies of large fuel operators consisting
in permanent inclusion of LPG in their product offer bring about a decrease of
the total number of autogas modules along with changes to the ownership
structure. Usually, independent individual autogas sales outlets are closed
due to their lower economic effectiveness.
Despite the trend, independent LPG filling stations are expected to remain
a permanent and characteristic element of Poland’s LPG market.
According to recent data, the overall number of motor vehicles fuelled
with LPG was 2,914,000 in 2015 which marked a net increase of almost
70,000 vehicles (figure below).

According to estimates by motor market experts and analysts, about
100,000 to 120,000 LPG installations were fitted in motor vehicles.
The registry system of motor vehicles according to the type of fuel continues
to be far from perfect and there are no precise figures on the number of
vehicles that have been scrapped or are no longer used. As regards LPG,
occasionally certain types of fuel tanks are reinstalled which is not the case
of traditional fuels.
In 2015 there were new offers of motor companies selling vehicles with
factory fitted LPG installations.
Polish drivers may buy both passenger cars and larger vehicles that are
offered with a properly selected LPG installation fitted in the factory, keeping
all warranty-related or maintenance service rights.
At the beginning of 2015, the share of passenger vehicles with LPG
installations was 14.8% of the total number of passenger vehicles in Poland
which was practically unchanged in relation to 2014.
The share of cars with Diesel engines in our country increased from 27.6%
to 28.9% with a slight drop of cars with gasoline engines from 57.5% to 56.4%.
Almost 19% of all passenger cars in Poland are registered in the Mazowieckie
Province. At the same time, 18% of them have engines fuelled with LPG.
The Łodzkie Province (20.9%) and the Lubelskie Province (20.1%) are the
country’s leaders in terms the share of the passenger cars fitted with LPG
installations in the overall number of cars registered in these provinces.
The share of the following provinces is above the average: WarmińskoMazurskie (15.4%), Podlaskie (16.5%), and Świętokrzyskie (16.8%). At the other
end, among the provinces with the lowest share of cars fitted with LPG are
the following: Zachodniopomorskie (10.4%), Dolnośląskie and Wielkopolskie
(10.9% each), and Lubuskie (11.4%).
As regards Diesel oil as the preferred fuel, the largest share of cars running
on Diesel oil in the total number of the registered cars is traditionally found
in the Zachodniopomorskie (30.1%), Dolnośląskie (31.1%), and Podlaskie
(31.1%). A large interest in Diesel engines is remarkable in the Podlaskie
Province which may partly be due to opportunities of purchasing such fuel
without fiscal charges. The lowest proportion of cars with Diesel engines is
found in the Lubelskie Province (20.1%).
The Śląskie, Lubuskie and Zachodniopomorskie Provinces are also the
leaders as concerns gasoline engines where the share of such cars in the
overall number of the cars registered in those Provinces ranges from 59.2%
in the Provinces along the western border to 62.7% in the Silesian Province.
In the category of passenger cars with an engine capacity of up to 1399 cm3,
the share of cars with LPG installations dropped by 0.5% to 10.4%, while the
share of cars with an engine capacity from 1400 to 1999 cm3 stood at 17.5%
of the total number of cars in the category.
Among the cars with LPG installations, the dominant figure included cars
with the engine capacity of 1400-1999 cm3, or 62.1% of all cars fitted with
LPG installations. Engines with the capacity of up to 1399 cm3 accounted for
29.5% in the overall number of cars with LPG.

The existing legal regulations support continued booming imports of
second-hand vehicles from European countries which contribute to keeping
the age structure of cars in Poland unchanged.
OTHER ASPECTS
The ecological advantages of LPG will gain understanding and will be
followed in Poland. The first signals in that area were seen in 2015 when
a draft of a ministerial regulation was published to classify vehicles into
emission classes by fuel type. Establishment of rules governing the use of gas
fuels in agricultural tractor engines may be another development stimulus.
Poland is a world pioneer in that area; technological solutions have been
installed and tested. Because of formal and legal reasons, such installations
may not be applied for agricultural tractors admitted to public roads.
The use of autogas in truck transport, as well as in passenger cars with
factory fitted LPG installations has the largest development potential.
No one in Poland is surprised to see that LPG dispensing units are located
next to other fuel dispensers, sometimes this is just a single device. Media
advertisements, including TV commercials aired at prime time encouraging
purchases of new cars with LPG installations have become a standard. Over
the recent years, the perception of LPG has changed from a fuel enjoying a
certain social status to a full-fledged, economical, and ecological motor fuel.
Poland has all technological facilities to become a leader in the European
Union not only because of the sales volume of autogas, but also due to
the local production of tanks, installations, or highly innovative technical
solutions.
Because of its ecological parameters the use of LPG in stationary heating
installations has also become increasingly popular among local government
authorities. Programs and projects of low-emissions economy already
contain provisions to treat LPG on the same footing as natural gas.
Unfortunately, recently published drafts of government regulations
support only natural gas for heating purposes.
From a viewpoint of methodology, ecological advantages, the proposed
solution raises high concerns or, actually, is not understandable.
Different treatment of various gases with similar parameters in the bill on
tax on retail sales has no reasonable grounds and will adversely affect the
competitive advantage of LPG vis-a-vis natural gas. It may only be hoped that
this is an obvious oversight to be corrected during further legislative work.
Source: POPG Report
The number of road tractors with LPG installations grew by 147.
The number of trucks with the load carrying capacity of 1500kg and more
was 8,292 (up by 4 vehicles).
The age structure of the passenger cars in Poland did not change
significantly. Cars that were 12-25 years old continued to account for 52.3%
of the overall number of cars. Of all cars registered in Poland the age group of
25+ accounted for 19.3%.

Samsung with 2.0 LPG engine
R
ENAULT SAMSUNG MOTORS HAS UNVEILED AND LAUNCHED THE SM6 IN SOUTH KOREA A FEW MONTHS AGO. AS YOU MAY HAVE
ALREADY NOTICED, IT'S A FACELIFTED VERSION OF THE EUROPEAN RENAULT TALISMAN SEDAN WITH A NEW BADGE AND OTHER MINOR
TWEAKS. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME SURPRISES UNDER THE HOOD.
Renault revealed the Talisman in mid of
2015. Half a year later, the Korean version of
the midsize sedan lands between the SM5
(known as the Latitude in Europe) and the
full-sized SM7.
Based on the demands of the typical South
Korean driver, Samsung has fitted the SM6
with an exclusive lineup of engines and
gearboxes that set it apart from the European
counterpart.
“The SM6 is set to set a new standard for Korea’s
midsize sedan market,” said Renault Samsung
CEO Francois Provost during a media debut
event held at Hanseo University’s Flight
Education Center in Taean County, South
Chungcheong Province.
He hopes it will catapult the company to the
number 3 spot in the market.
SM6 packs a 2-liter GDI, the 1.6-liter turbo
GDI engine, the 2-liter LPLi, and the 1.5-liter
diesel engine. The 1.6 Turbo GDI engine
produces 190 PS and 26.5 kg-m of torque (260
Nm). That's 10 hp less than the Talisman, but
the 7-speed EDC gearbox is the same.
30
The 2.0 GDI is a naturally aspirated engine
with 150 PS and 20.6 kg-m (202 Nm) of
torque, still connected to the 7-speed EDC.
Things get really weird with an LPLi engine
that we can only presume runs on natural gas.
It produces 140 PS and slightly less torque,
being connected to a CVT.
WHAT IS LPLI?
The liquid phase LPG injection (LPLi) system
(the third generation technology) has been
considered as one of the next generation
fuel supply systems for LPG vehicles, since it
has a very strong potential to accomplish the
higher power, higher efficiency, and lower
emission characteristics than the mixer type
(the second generation technology) fuel
supply system.
To investigate the characteristics of LPG
residue in liquid phase LPG injection system,
various rubbers in LPG fuel system were
reacted with LPG fuels during 3 months. The
experimental results showed that the residue
of a cover rubber in a fuel pump after test
increased 10 times higher than that before
test.
Furthermore, the amount of sulfur, nitrogen
species which are considered as main sources
in deposit formation in the LPLi fuel injector
were also found to be higher than that in
original LPG fuel. And rubber properties
of fuel pump cover were decreased after
reaction test compared with those of the
original rubber.
Therefore, the rubber for fuel pump cover
is not suitable for a proper material in LPLi
fuel system. And these results can provide
more information if a motor company shares
the data of core rubber parts in field test LPLi
vehicles.
The SM6 1.5 diesel has not been detailed
because it arrives later in 2016. However,
Samsung
officials
already
promise
consumption numbers that have never been
seen in this class.
Lastly, it's worth noting that the digital dash
and huge R-Link system have been kept.
However, the SM6 doesn't have the allwheel steering system of the Talisman.

STAG Diesel
daje radę w każdych warunkach
– Misja Wschód zakończona sukcesem
I
NNOWACYJNA INSTALACJA STAG DIESEL STWORZONA Z MYŚLĄ O SAMOCHODACH CIĘŻAROWYCH, AUTOBUSACH I MASZYNACH
ROLNICZYCH Z SILNIKAMI DIESLA DOSKONALE SPRAWDZIŁA SIĘ RÓWNIEŻ W ZABYTKOWYM CZOŁGU T-55. MARKA STAG BYŁA PARTNEREM
STRATEGICZNYM MISJI WSCHÓD W TRAKCIE VI PIKNIKU MILITARNEGO W OGRODNICZKACH KOŁO BIAŁEGOSTOKU.
Ostatni w’end maja był niezwykle burzliwy nie tylko przez wzgląd na
pogodę. Odgłosy wystrzałów, huk pojazdów pancernych oraz okrzyki
bojowe żołnierzy rozbrzmiewały w Ogrodniczkach pod Białymstokiem
w trakcie Misji Wschód, VI Pikniku Militarnego. Tysiące osób, które miały
przyjemność odwiedzić wydarzenie z pewnością zauważyły, że logo STAG
przykuwało uwagę i było niezwykle widoczne. Stało się tak, ponieważ
firma AC S.A. lider instalacji autogaz była partnerem strategicznym wydarzenia.
Głównym celem przedsięwzięcia było zachęcenie społeczeństwa do
poznawania historii i tradycji regionu. Historyczne pokazy prezentowało
ponad siedmiuset rekonstruktorów z kraju i zagranicy. To jedna z największych tego typu imprez we wschodniej Polsce. Można było podglądać militaria, ale także to, jak wyglądało życie codzienne w minionych wiekach.
Niewątpliwą atrakcją wydarzenia były pojazdy bojowe, w tym wyjątkowy czołg T-55. Wyjątkowość czołgu to nie tylko jego doskonały stan techniczny oraz monumentalne rozmiary. Sekret tkwi wewnątrz pojazdu, na
pierwszy rzut oka schowany przed spojrzeniami dociekliwych amatorów
32
militariów. Czołg T-55 poddany został konwersji otrzymując możliwość
poruszania się również przy zużyciu paliwa LPG. 46 ton stali o mocy 600
KM i pojemności silnika 40 litrów, z armatką kalibru 100 mm wzbogacone
zostało o dodatkowe atrybuty: sterownik STAG DIESEL 8 cylindrów, dwa
reduktory STAG R02, dwie listwy wtryskowe STAG AC W02 BFC i dwa 120
litrowe zbiorniki LPG.
Innowacyjna instalacja LPG została stworzona z myślą o samochodach
dostawczych, ciężarowych, autobusach, maszyn rolniczych i budowlanych z silnikami diesla. Jednakże jej cel, czyli obniżenie kosztów eksploatacji nawet o 20 – 25% oraz obniżenie emisji cząstek stałych (sadzy) doskonale sprawdził się również w zabytkowym czołgu.
Trwałość i niezawodność instalacji STAG Diesel potwierdzona została
testami w wyjątkowo trudnych warunkach podbiałostockiej żwirowni.
Widownia zgromadzona w trakcie wydarzenia z aplauzem przyjęła dodatkową atrakcję, tym bardziej, że przejażdżka czołgiem z instalacją LPG
była dużo bardziej ekologiczna.

New roof-mounted CNG fuel systems
A
NEW ROOF-MOUNTED CNG FUEL SYSTEM HAS BEEN INTRODUCED BY MOMENTUM FUEL TECHNOLOGIES. THERE ARE 2 CONFIGURATIONS
OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR CLASS 6-8 TRUCKS, PRIMARILY REFUSE OPERATIONS.
“Our refuse customers continue to tell us they are interested in improved
natural gas options, and the roof-mount system is designed to support the
unique needs of this important market segment” – said W.M. “Rusty” Rush,
chairman, CEO & president of Rush Enterprises, Inc., parent company of
Momentum Fuel.
Mike Zimmerman, General Manager of Momentum Fuel Technologies
said: “We are also excited to announce that we will work with McNeilus and
other refuse body manufacturers to ensure the entire line of Momentum CNG
fuel systems is integrated with refuse bodies and a wide variety of other truck
bodies to meet the needs of our waste customers.”
The roof-mount system is available in both four-tank 70 diesel gallon
equivalent (DGE) and 5-tank 87DGE configurations, and is designed to be
a lighter and more efficient system when compared to industry standard
60DGE/75DGE roof-mount configurations, the company said.
The system is fabricated with high-strength steel and lightweight
aluminum. The tanks are made of 3M nanoparticle-enhanced matrix resin
technology and are designed to be lighter than others in the industry.
The system’s fuel management module (FMM) houses the electronics, fuel
filter and fuel-fill receptacles and is located where the driver fuels the truck.
Constructed of highly-durable aircraft aluminum with a powder-coated
exterior finish and Huck-bolted access cover, the compact design
incorporates Parker O-ring fittings, gauges, fill ports and valves with
a simplified filter access through the bottom of the module. The FMM
works in conjunction with the RushCare telematics platform, allowing
fleet managers to monitor their usage stats and better manage their fuel
consumption.
Fuel utilization is improved due in part to an efficient fuel pressure
regulator with a high-capacity filter manufactured by Parker, which is
also part of the FMM. With this regulator, drivers can go further on a tank
of fuel when compared to current system limitations, as the regulator
enables the vehicle to operate from 3,600 pounds per square inch (PSI)
when full to a minimum 230 PSI. The regulator is designed to reduce
leak points and weight, and the high-capacity filter is larger than most
competitive products, so it can be serviced less frequently.
The design of the nose of the roof-mount system incorporates three
separate alloy steel pieces to protect the CNG system from tree limbs and
other damage. If damage to the nose does occur, it is easier, safer and
less expensive to repair or replace one or more segments rather, than the
entire nose.

Natural gas in vehicles
– on the road to nowhere?
O
N FEBRUARY 18, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION RELEASED A PROPOSAL TO GUARANTEE ITS GAS SUPPLY SECURITY AND IS PREPARING
ANOTHER ONE TO IMPLEMENT THE EU’S 2030 CLIMATE TARGETS FOR THE TRANSPORT, BUILDINGS AND AGRICULTURE SECTORS
(SO-CALLED ‘EFFORT SHARING’ SECTORS). IT IS ALSO DEVELOPING A COMMUNICATION TO DECARBONISE THE ROAD TRANSPORT SECTOR,
TO BE ANNOUNCED THIS SUMMER.
To understand what role natural gas could have in achieving these objectives, Transport & Environment commissioned a study from Ricardo Energy
& Environment to assess the impacts of large-scale use of natural gas in the transport sector.
The study concludes that the increased use of natural gas in road transport is largely ineffective in reducing greenhouse gases or air pollution.
The immediate benefits are small or non-existent; while the environmental costs, societal costs and costs to operators are negative for almost all vehicle
categories.
Expanding the use of natural gas in vehicles also runs counter to efforts
to reduce EU’s gas imports and energy dependence. In the mid to longterm the substitution of fossil oil with fossil natural gas can have no
role to play in a decarbonised transport sector. Although sustainable
biomethane could deliver greenhouse gas benefits, it cannot be
generated in sufficient volumes to power more than a niche market and
would be very expensive.
Natural gas is not a ‘bridge fuel’, as claimed, but an expensive dead-end
on the pathway to decarbonising transport. Similar to biofuels and diesel,
it needs significant support (including subsidies or tax breaks) to survive.
The evidence shows such support is not justifiable and is better spent
on long-term solutions: fuel efficient, electricity-powered and shared
transport.
1. THIS BRIEFING
This briefing summarises the key outcomes of a study commissioned
by Transport & Environment to examine the cost and environmental
effectiveness of the use of natural gas (CNG/LNG), including biomethane,
as a road transport fuel. The study has been performed by the
independent UK consultancy Ricardo Energy & Environment.
The study compares for natural gas vehicles and conventional petrol
and diesel vehicles the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a full wellto-wheel approach (including emissions arising in production and
distribution of the fuel as well as emitted from the tailpipe).
It also compares air pollution emissions and calculates the costs to
vehicle operators, the environment and society of using natural gas.
34
Comparisons of the environmental effects are made between
conventional liquid fuels (petrol and diesel) and both fossil natural gas
and sustainable bio-methane (from waste and residues).
A range of road transport vehicles have been considered to obtain
representative results:
 passenger cars (petrol and diesel),
 diesel vans (light commercial vehicles - LCV),
 small rigid trucks,
 large rigid trucks (26 t),
 articulated trucks 2 a briefing by (>32 t),
 buses and coaches.
For cars and vans it was assumed CNG (or biomethane) would be used.
For trucks, buses and coaches LNG.
Different production pathways and origins for the different fuels are
considered.
During production and distribution of natural gas / biomethane leakage
occurs – essentially unburnt methane escaping into the atmosphere.
Methane has a global warming potential that is 30 times higher than
CO2 and methane leakage therefore significantly undermines the
potential GHG savings that may occur during the operational stage when
the fuel is burnt in the engine producing tailpipe emissions.
In this study, low, medium and high well-to-tank emission scenarios
have been developed.
2. VEHICLE EMISSIONS

There are no GHG benefits in shifting from diesel cars to CNG.
Compared to petrol cars, carbon emissions are lower but the benefits
are significantly less than those achieved by a shift to petrol-hybrid or
electric cars using renewable energy.
A shift to gas would also create a risk of technology lock-in, diverting
scarce (public) funds away from these technologies with the potential to
decarbonise light-duty vehicles.
Natural gas vehicles (NGV) emit less noxious emissions than diesel cars,
notably nitrogen oxide NOx emissions. However, the introduction of
real-world tests and further tightening of emission standards will reduce
the current comparative advantage and the likely overall impacts small
and not cost effective.
Compared to petrol cars, CNG-cars offer no air pollution benefits.
For smaller trucks and vans a shift to gas engines would result in
significantly higher overall GHG emissions. For bigger (articulated)
trucks a shift to LNG powered trucks would in all cases result in higher
overall GHG emissions.
Compared to modern EURO VI trucks, gas powered trucks (CNG or
LNG) perform only marginally better when it comes to air pollution.
For passenger cars there are reductions in environmental damage costs
associated with a shift from petrol/diesel cars to CNG-powered vehicles,
but that for heavy-duty vehicles, the environmental damage costs are
higher for gas vehicles than conventional diesel vehicles.
This is why Ricardo Energy & Environment concludes “that the overall
air quality benefits of using methane to power road vehicles would be very
limited.”
Vehicle
Comparison
Metric
3. BIO-METHANE
Using sustainable bio-methane could deliver significant GHG savings
for all vehicle categories. However, the very limited availability of
sustainable sources (e.g. waste) means bio-methane can only be used in
niche applications.
Any scaling up of production would require crop-based bio-methane
which raises issues related to direct and indirect land-use change and
reduced greenhouse gas benefits. The air quality benefits of biomethane
are small and the same as natural gas.
Policymakers also need to reflect on whether the limited amount of
sustainable bio-methane would not be better used in other sectors
(for example, heating).
4. COST EFFECTIVENESS OF SHIFTING TO NATURAL GAS
The study considered three types of costs: operating capital cost of
the vehicle; operating costs of buying the fuel and infrastructure costs.
Costs were also considered from the perspective of the operator, the
environment and society as a whole.
Capital costs for methane powered vehicles are typically higher.
Operating costs showed mixed results when analysed on a pre-tax/no
duty basis.
Petrol cars having slightly lower operating costs, vans and small trucks
slightly higher and much higher for articulated trucks. Infrastructure
costs can be very significant.
The study shows that in virtually all cases the infrastructure refuelling
costs outweigh the benefits. Costs were calculated for operators, for
society and for the environment and compared for fossil liquid and
gaseous fuels.

Once fuel taxes are removed the annualised marginal capital and
operating costs for gas-powered vehicles are higher than for conventional
petrol and diesel vehicles.
The economic attractiveness of switching to methane is therefore
solely based upon receiving a tax break – effectively a fossil fuel subsidy.
Operator costs do not take into account the costs associated with
providing and operating refuelling infrastructure for methane-powered
vehicles and once these are considered deploying natural gas as fuel is
not cost effective from a societal perspective.
The results of the Ricardo analysis clearly show a shift to gas in road
transport would have very limited benefits. For petrol cars there is
a small CO2 benefit; and for diesel cars lower air pollution emissions.
For all commercial vehicle categories a shift to gas would increase
greenhouse gas emissions. The much touted air pollution benefits of
heavy-duty natural gas vehicles are non-existent. An increase in hybrid
and ultimately electric vehicles would deliver a bigger improvement.
Encouraging the use of natural gas in transport would increase the EU’s
dependence on gas imports, at a time when EU policy is overwhelmingly
focused on reducing this dependency. A shift to gas is also expensive; in
virtually all cases the costs (which exclude utility loss due to the larger
tank) outweigh the benefits. Without (unjustifiable) fuel tax break,
gas is not economically viable for hauliers. Natural gas is not a bridge
fuel towards future decarbonised vehicles. Although waste based biomethane can deliver significant GHG savings, it can only be supplied for
niche applications, due to the limited sustainable supply. Any scaling
up of production would require crop based bio-methane which raises
nowfamiliar issues of direct and indirect land-use change.
The investment to develop refuelling infrastructure for what is
essentially a niche fuel is high, and sustainably produced bio-methane
can be used far more cheaply in other sectors such as heating. Subsidies,
tax breaks, infrastructure investments and lower tolls for gas vehicles are
bad policy and poor uses of scarce public funds. They repeat the mistakes
of previous fuels policies for diesel and biofuels that were incentivised
without delivering meaningful environmental benefits.
The evidence shows that the expected June 2016 communication on
decarbonisation should not endorse public support for gas vehicles.
Investments and policy incentives should instead be focused on
solutions that deliver significant benefits – fuel efficient, electricitypowered and shared transport.
