Why LNG Trucks?
Choosing LNG means choosing for the future
LNG offers a cleaner, quieter and cheaper drive, without losing the benefits of a normal truck. Currently, several manufacturers (Iveco, Scania and Volvo) offer powerful LNG trucks which match a diesel truck in terms of performance and efficiency, but also contribute to creating a cleaner world.
LNG trucks are even considerably cleaner than Euro-VI diesel trucks; the CO2 emission is 17% lower and there is less health damage caused by dust particles and NOx. Transport using LNG already meets the strict European emission standards set for freight transport, without the need for additional measures such as the use of particulate filters. Trucks that run on LNG are also up to 75% quieter than diesel trucks.
One of their biggest advantages, however, is that they are extremely cost-effective, using on average 10-15% less fuel than a diesel equivalent.

Accreditations
Helping gas suppliers deliver alternative fuels to the transport industry Committed to safety and service excellence
Understanding that these natural gasses will become an essential fuel for heavy haulage operators in the coming decade, AD Fuels became the first independent company in the UK to operate an LNG Tanker – one of only 17 in the country (accurate as at Jan 2019) – loading directly from the National Grid, Grain LNG.
Today, we support some of the sector’s largest natural gas suppliers, including Air Liquide, GasRec and Molgas amongst others, and are on course to more than quadruple our tanker fleet by 2021 as part of our vision to become the leading independent transporter of LNG and CNG.
AD Fuels are fully committed to delivering the highest standards of service and safety to our customers.
We are proud to hold full accreditations with the Driver Vehicle Standard Agency (DVSA), ISO, Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS), Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (Driver CPC), Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors (DGSA), Freight Transport Association (FTA).
