Atlas Copco compressors power UK's largest compressed natural gas vehicle filling station

摘要

Atlas Copco Greenfield compressors are playing an integral role at the UK's largest Biomethane Compressed Natural Gas (Bio-CNG) filling station in Crewe, in keeping with the company's global commitment to a cleaner environment and sustainable productivity. The newly opened filling station, which is operated by CNG Services Ltd., provides fuel that can offer an 80% reduction in CO2 and NOX emissions, and has the potential to lower transport operators' fuel cost per mile by nearly a third. Officially opened by MP, Edward Timpson, the station is the largest such facility in the UK, offering a highly reliable fuel supply with the capacity to fill 500 HGV's per day via three fast-fill hoses, and making Crewe a key strategic point for UK transport. The station is already filling five CNG dual-fuel trucks for GIST/M&S, three for Tenens Environmental and one for Ceva Logistics/Tesco.
