- W623466012 abstract "The grants available in the UK to convert lorries to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) rather than diesel are outlined. Up to 75% of the cost may be claimed if the vehicle is to be used in pollution hotspots. Three tractors and trailers were used in the test, with mileages of between 647,000 and 720,000 km. The vehicles used diesel, CNG or liquid natural gas (LNG). A 130-mile test route containing motorway, dual carriageway and single carriageway roads was devised and each vehicle was loaded to about 31 tonnes. The CNG lorries were considerably quieter than the diesel lorries, with the LNG vehicles in between. Performance of the gas-powered lorries was acceptable and emissions were markedly reduced. Fuel consumption of the gas-powered lorries was 42.7 litres/100km at a cost of 18.1 p/km compared with 25.4 p/km for diesel. Taking into account the cost of the engineering work to adapt the vehicles (including recycling expensive components), reduced vehicle excise duty, annual distance travelled of 150,000 km, fuel savings of 11,450 would be achieved and the break-even point was 27 months. A 2-year break-even point was possible if fuel discounts are negotiated by large fleets. Grants for adapting diesel vehicles with particulate traps or an oxidation catalyst are discussed briefly." @default.
