Crewe CNG Filling Station Official Open Day – 8th March 2013

Local MP Edward Timpson marked the official launch of Crewe CNG Filling Station on the 8th March. The environmental and economic benefits of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel technology have captured the imagination of local authorities and fleet operators in Crewe. This flagship station also provides a live and relevant test-case for other public sites across the UK. The importance of this event was highlighted by the attendance of high profile guests, including; Brit European, GIST, Mercedes Benz, Iveco and Scania, Clean Air Power and DfT staff.

Dual-fuel technology has made CNG fuel accessible to fleet operators. This is because a dual fuel engine retains the efficiency of diesel-engine technology, whilst also taking advantage of the lower CO2, lower cost natural gas. Future projections of oil and gas prices suggest that CNG will become increasingly cheaper relative to diesel in the coming years. With the UK Government focussed on meeting carbon reduction targets, fuel duty is likely to stay favourable for CNG for quite some time.

A fleet operator in Crewe could expect to make 30% savings on fuel costs per mile. In addition to this, a dual fuel engine can reduce CO2 output by as much as 50% with the use of Green Gas Certificates. All of this is achieved whilst retaining equivalent performance to that seen in diesel vehicles.

About CNG Services Ltd CNG Services Ltd (“CSL”) supports the development of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in the UK including:

Creation of a national network of CNG stations on the high pressure grid

Injection of biomethane into the gas grid Use of Green gas Certificates/biomethane as a

vehicle fuel

The fuelling demonstration of the Iveco Daily proves that

CNG filling is both safe and easy.

Even the compressors are efficient because they

take the gas from a high pressure supply.

Fleet operators around the UK are looking to build their own CNG filling stations so that they can take advantage of these cost and CO2 savings. Fleet operators in Crewe have an even more attractive opportunity to take advantage of these savings because they can do so without funding a new filling station. This is why we believe Crewe, with its central location and access to the M6 will become an even more important hub for transport in the UK.
