Sainsbury’s Expands Methane-Powered Vehicle Trials

From newenergyfocus.com: ” Supermarket chain Sainsbury’s is expanding its trials running vehicles on biogas made from landfilled waste, with an order for five more of its vehicles to be converted. The company has been running one of its Mercedes-Benz Axor lorries since August, fitted with “Dual-Fuel” technology allowing it to use a combination of diesel and biomethane.

Clean Air Power, the company that pioneered the technology, reported today that the supermarket has ordered five more of the Genesis Dual Fuel installations. The firm said the order from Sainsbury’s represented an “ongoing commitment” by the supermarket chain to reduce its road transport emissions.” Sainsbury’s Expands Methane-Powered Vehicle Trials
