What is the News?
Blue Energy Motors has launched India’s first Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) fuelled green truck manufacturing facility at Chakan in Pune.
How do Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) trucks work?
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles work much like gasoline-powered vehicles with a spark-ignited internal combustion engine.
The natural gas is supercooled and cryogenically stored in liquid form, usually in a tank on the side of the truck.
Because it is a liquid, the energy density of LNG is greater than CNG, so more fuel can be stored on board the vehicle.
