美國瓦斯二次減壓閥,HSR-CFGBMYN低壓減壓閥,DN25中轉低減壓閥.Texas-based Universal LNG Solutions Inc. has rolled out the first four trucks in a fleet of 95 liquefied natural gas (LNG) big rigs at the campus of Sancus Energy, an LNG technology developer. The 95 tractor-trailer trucks are the first in the United States with the capability to haul 80,000 pounds (36.3 tonne) of goods for more than 700 miles per fill-up, an unprecedented achievement that will change the face of long-distance trucking, the company declares.
The fleet, which will ship goods throughout Texas and the surrounding states during a two-month pilot program between Universal LNG Solutions (ULNG) and key partners, will demonstrate how trucking companies can lower costs while reducing their carbon footprint using clean LNG engines. The fleet will be serviced through UNLG’s network of stations.
ULNG is expanding its on-road commercial fleet and enlisting key partners, including Sancus, to join the effort to grow the field of LNG-fuelled applications. “These are the most advanced Freightliner Cascadian trucks equipped with a new breed of Cummins Westport ISX12G 400HP Engine. The magic that creates the added fuel efficiency, range and LNG hold time is the integration of a Westport ICEPACK 240 dual tank LNG Fuel System and use of cold LNG during operations,” says Jeffrey Liu, CEO of Universal LNG Solutions.
Among the key partners in this effort are LA Freightliner/Velocity Group, the largest freightliner dealership in the country and the exclusive LNG on-road equipment sales and servicing partner of ULNG. The dealer has been instrumental in helping to rollout, deploy and achieve acceptance of LNG trucks in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The success of the Port of Los Angeles/Port of Long Beach clean air truck program has lead to a drastic reduction of carbon emission and improved overall air quality of the Greater Los Angeles area.
Utilizing ULNG’s unique LNG re-conditioning technology and the Westport’s unique fuel system can eliminate venting from the truck’s LNG tank under regular truck usage, achieving a “non-venting” fleet status. Most importantly, this will allow fleet operators to effectively consume the energy purchased without venting back to the station or into the atmosphere.
“Our partners are some of the most advanced in the world,” Liu says. “By working together to roll out 95 of these LNG long haulers in the Greater Texas region, we will bring dynamic, responsible growth to the Greater Texas Golden Triangle area of Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth and San Antonio. We are excited to contribute to an important innovation and to support our State.”
