Volvo unveils liquid gas-powered truck

摘要

Volvo Trucks has launched the new Volvo FM MethaneDiesel truck, the first gas-powered truck designed for long-haul operations, following the company's decision to focus more on alternative fuels. The FM MethaneDiesel truck is powered by up to 75% gas and is offered with a 13-litre engine, which produces 460hp and 2300Nm of torque. The vehicle will initially go on sale in countries where gas infrastructure is most established, such as the Netherlands, Great Britain and Sweden. Around 100 vehicles are expected to be built this year, with series production starting in August.
