We had a fleet of Volvo fl 63 plate LNG/diesel trucks but they reached the end of their life late last year most with 900,000 plus but they’d come too unreliable at the end and there was often as much as 20% of the fleet in the dealer at any one time, with the 4 leggers range wasn’t a problem if the gas packed in as they had a large diesel tank anyway but if the gas on a 6 legger didn’t work then we were looking for a re-fill pretty quick as the diesel tank was the size of a hip flask !!
At the moment we have normal diesel powered FH’s as a stand in for a year whist we have 2 Fh LNG trucks on trial but it’s looking increasingly likely that at the end of this year we will buy a fleet of Volvo FH LNG trucks as apart with some fueling up problems they have been generally performing well.
We did have a Scania LNG truck on demo which was trouble free in all departments but apparently they only come in 4 legger form which ok for a lot of our work but we certainly need 6 leggers too for our deckers and the more heavier work we do.
