Independent online grocer Ocado has leased 29 new IVECO Stralis NP tractor units, marking the largest order for single-fuel gas-powered trucks of any
manufacturer to-date in the UK. Refuelling infrastructure is provided by Gasrec, a pioneer of landfill biomethane for transport fuel.
Supplied by Guest Truck and Van, 5 of the CNG vehicles (AS44S40T/P NP) will enter service immediately, operating out of the company’s Dordon CFC.
The remaining 24 trucks will go into operation later in the year when Ocado’s dedicated NG refuelling facility is opened by Gasrec at its Hatfield CFC, in a move
that boosts the green credentials of its 147-strong fleet of heavy vehicles.
The Stralis NP is powered by a Cursor 9 Euro VI natural gas engine which doesn’t require any diesel or petrol-derived fuel, and benefits from a maintenance-free and
AdBlue-free after-treatment system. It delivers the same output of 400 hp and 1,700 Nm torque as its diesel equivalent, resulting in an excellent power-to-weight
ratio, power density and quietness of operation – perfect for Ocado’s operation, where articulated trucks typically operate at gross vehicle weights up to 38 tonnes.

by WLPGA
HONDURAS
The Honduran Institute of Land Transportation (IHTT) reported that so far more than 7,500 taxis were modified from the conventional fuel system to operate
on Autogas, thanks to the Government’s conversion programme launched in 2013.
Most of the Autogas conversions have been carried out in the capital with some 2,150 taxis, while in San Pedro Sula, Cortés, approximately 1,600 taxis are
already running on Autogas. The legal director of the IHT, Fernando Madrid, said: “The intention of the national government is to convert the largest number of
vehicles so that all taxis can be equipped with LPG technology. The conversion is completely free, the taxi driver does not pay for the installation, and all he has to do is
refuel the car at the service station.”
Madrid also explained: “It is a social project with environmental and economic advantages; each taxi driver saves between 150 and 250 lempiras (between 6.50 and
10.5 dollars) per day according to the region. In the valley of Sula savings can reach 300 lempiras (nearly 13 dollars) daily, that is, drivers have a significant annual saving
of 18,000 lempiras per vehicle (over 750 dollars).”
According to the official, up to 30 vehicles are converted to Autogas daily, and the average is between 200 and 300 vehicles per month.
