福萊納卡車和美國全國范圍內轉運馬鞍小河物流服務,共同開發一個新的福萊納卡斯凱迪亞®113英寸BBC一天出租車用天然氣技術,擁有先進的空氣動力學。馬鞍小河已經訂制了第一件10的車輛,配備一個120加侖的燃料系統。當完成后,這將標志著天然氣系統將在第一時間進行全封閉駕駛室空氣動力學整流罩背后的側面和背面。
佛羅里達州的萊克蘭,第三方物流公司已經擁有超過100福萊納CNG在其車隊的430輛拖拉機,使其在國內運作超過道路拖拉機船隊中最大的CNG。額外的拖拉機10輛,將用于整車業務在美國東南部。一旦測試完成,今年晚些時候,該公司預計將額外訂購90天然氣卡車。
技術韋斯特波特康明斯ISX 12 G重型天然氣發動機與收視率高達400馬力和1,450磅 - 英尺的扭矩,馬鞍小河的的卡斯凱迪亞CNG拖拉機后面車輛的空氣動力學套件包括一個完全封閉的背柜。坦克的位置,將進一步提升圓滑的外觀,這有助于減少阻力,并最大限度地提高有效載荷。
“我們的新拖拉機此氣動省油設計的開創先河的。說:“我們密切合作,與的福萊納工程師和敏捷燃料系統設計這個系統,馬鞍小河運輸,總裁邁克DelBovo。“我們已經能夠為我們的客戶,與與我們現有的福萊納CNG拖拉機每一代的顯著效益,我們期待著這個最新的拖拉機為他們帶來更好的結果。”
據到DelBovo,他福萊納M2 112 CNG拖拉機已經取得了超過600英里的速度填充。他預計,他的新的卡斯凱迪亞CNG拖拉機達到至少700英里每填充。
馬鞍小河致力于環保的解決方案,如CNG,以盡量減少其碳足跡,并支持其客戶的可持續發展的努力。由于天然氣基礎設施是有限的,馬鞍小河已經建立了自己的加油站,在萊克蘭總部。
“馬鞍小河這樣的公司合作,使我們能夠繼續推動信封,當它涉及到提供創新的可持續解決方案,”羅伯特說卡里克,銷售經理 - 天然氣,福萊納卡車。“連同馬鞍小河和敏捷燃油系統,我們已經開發的下一代清潔技術,改進的空氣動力,將移動行業的一個新的方向。”
卡斯卡迪亞113福萊納天然氣日駕駛室提供相同的性能和靈活的福利卡斯卡迪亞拖拉機,把更便宜,更清潔燃燒的天然氣燃料。所有卡斯凱迪亞113天然氣動力一天駕駛室生產全面啟動,將在2013年8月開始。
在2012年2月,美國環保局認證的戴姆勒卡車北美的完整的產品組合模型2013年在公路上,與在新GHG14法規完全符合職業和中型車輛。DTNA是北美第一的商用車制造商,被認證為GHG14兼容。
福萊納卡車綠色技術的承諾是母公司戴姆勒公司(Daimler AG)的全球塑造未來的交通舉措的一部分。在2007年推出的舉措側重于降低標準污染物,二氧化碳和燃油消耗。
Freightliner Trucks and U.S. nationwide transporter Saddle Creek Logistics Services have together developed a new Freightliner Cascadia® 113-inch BBC day cab with natural gas technology featuring advanced aerodynamics. Saddle Creek has ordered the first 10 of the vehicles, outfitted with a 120 gallon fuel system. When complete, this will mark the first time a natural gas system will be fully enclosed behind the side and back of cab aerodynamic fairings.
The Lakeland, Florida-based third-party logistics company already has more than 100 Freightliner CNG tractors in its fleet of 430 vehicles, making it the largest CNG over the road tractor fleet in operation in the country. The additional 10 tractors will be used for truckload operations in the southeastern United States. The company expects to order 90 additional natural gas trucks once testing is completed later this year.
Powered by the Cummins Westport ISX 12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine with ratings up to 400hp and 1,450 lb-ft torque, Saddle Creek’s Cascadia CNG tractors will include a fully enclosed back cabinet behind the vehicle’s aerodynamics package. The placement of the tanks will further enhance the sleek exterior, which helps reduce drag and maximize payload.
“Our new tractors are the first of their kind with this aerodynamic fuel efficient design. We worked closely with Freightliner engineers and Agility Fuel Systems to design this system,” said Mike DelBovo, president of Saddle Creek Transportation. “We have been able to provide our customers with remarkable benefits with each generation of our existing Freightliner CNG tractors, and we look forward to bringing them even better results with this latest tractor.”
According to DelBovo, his Freightliner M2 112 CNG tractors have achieved more than 600 miles per fill. He expects his new Cascadia CNG tractors to achieve at least 700 miles per fill.
Saddle Creek is committed to environmentally-friendly solutions such as CNG to minimize its carbon footprint, and support the sustainability efforts of its customers. Because the natural gas infrastructure is limited, Saddle Creek has built its own fueling station at its Lakeland headquarters.
“Partnering with a company like Saddle Creek allows us to continue to push the envelope when it comes to offering innovative sustainable solutions,” said Robert Carrick, sales manager – natural gas, for Freightliner Trucks. “Together with Saddle Creek and Agility Fuel Systems, we have developed the next generation in clean technology with improved aerodynamics that will move the industry in a new direction.”
The Freightliner Cascadia 113 natural gas day cab offers the same performance and versatile benefits of the Cascadia tractor, with the incorporation of cheaper, cleaner burning natural gas fuel. Full start of production on all Cascadia 113 natural gas-powered day cabs will begin in August 2013.
In February 2012, the EPA certified Daimler Truck North America’s complete portfolio of model year 2013 on-highway, vocational and medium-duty vehicles as fully compliant with the new GHG14 regulations. DTNA was the first North American commercial vehicle manufacturer to be certified as GHG14-compliant.
Freightliner Trucks’ commitment to green technologies is part of parent company Daimler AG’s global Shaping Future Transportation initiative. Launched in 2007, the initiative focuses on reducing criteria pollutants, carbon dioxide and fuel consumption.
