Three serious concerns

The depletion

of natural resources

The acceleration of

global warming

The effects of

exhaust emissions

Legislation, a powerful green resource

• New emission restrictions 2013

• Hundredfold improvement

since 1993

• Sustainable emission levels 2013

• Next step: Fuel consumption and

CO2 emissions

• Old vehicles remain a problem

A shift towards more efficient transports

• Improved logistics

– Modular vehicle combinations

– Filling rate

– Intermodal solutions

• Fuel efficiency

– Optimised trucks

– Fuel-saving maintenance

– Efficiency upgrades

– Dynafleet

– Driver development

– Fuel Management Service

– The Drivers Fuel Challenge

Two promising alternatives

Volvo FH DME Volvo FM MethaneDiesel


2012-05-23

Volvo Trucks

25

DME – the best alternative from a well-to-wheel perspective

• 95 % reduction of CO2 emissions

• No particulates

• Most efficient land use

• Partners: Chemrec, Preem,

Customers in Sweden


2012-05-23

Methane – the most accessible alternative fuel

• Exists as fossil fuel (natural gas) and biogas

• Compressed (CNG/CBG) or liquefied (LNG/LBG)

• Reduced climate impact

• High efficiency

• Competitive price


Facts about Methane gas

27

Both as Natural gas and Biogas:

• Natural gas = fossil fuel

- Up to 10% CO2 reduction

• Biogas = produced from

renewable material

- Up to 70% CO2 reduction

Two forms:

• Liquid volume efficient methane

gas (LNG/LBG)

• Pressurised methane gase

(CNG/CBG)

Bi Me Truck Project

A cooperation 2010-2013

• AGA, EON, Fordonsgas, BRG,

Energigas Sverige,

Energimyndigheten, kunder

• Filling stations for LNG built in

Göteborg and Stockholm

• Decided: Malmö and Jönköping

• Planned: Örebro, Helsingborg,

Stockholm north


Methane Diesel, based on Volvo’s reliable Euro V diesel engines

• The diesel process gives 30-40%

better fuel efficiency compared to

spark ignited engines

• 50-80% of the diesel can be

substituted by methane gas

• Power and driveability similar as

a conventional diesel engine

• Can run on only diesel if out

of gas
