At the end of December 2018 Perrenot will have 550 gas powered Iveco tractors on the road, closely followed by Mauffrey .
The numbers are small in comparison with Spain where the infrastructure exists for refuelling . I was at the Perrenot tank on Monday and having arrived at 14.00, 4 Spaniards then had to wait for me to fill the tank and for the pressure to come back up so they could fill. They weren’t impressed with the 3 hour wait . One had come from Birmingham, via Poitiers and after that Madrid due to the siting of tanks.
Big shipping lines are slowly converting ships to run on gas for the cost and enviromental savings,However it’s still a finite resourse and if a diesel powered ship is bringing gas to France from the far north of Russia and the deepest darkest Peru its a dubious enviromental saving . A cost saving to hauliers over diesel though.
