Cat 777C Hauler Uses 60 Percent Liquefied Natural Gas

摘要

According to Gaseous Fuel Systems Corp. (GFS), the company has successfully demonstrated its "Bi-Fuel" conversion system for mining vehicles in the United States. GFS converted a Cat 777 mining truck, operating at a commercial coal-production facility in Harlan County, Ky., to operate with more than 60 percent liquefied natural gas (LNG) substituted for diesel fuel; and to operate, says GFS, without loss of performance. GFS is preparing to launch its first commercial U.S. fleet conversion of mining vehicles in 2011 in Eastern Kentucky and Southern West Virginia.
