MAZZANO, Italy (Oct. 17, 2011)—Luxfer Gas Cylinders has opened a new, fully equipped facility in Italy to build alternative fuel systems using compressed natural gas (CNG) stored in lightweight Luxfer carbon composite cylinders. What’s more, the new Luxfer Italy facility is actually powered by clean, alternative energy in the form of photovoltaic solar panels that cover its roof.
Warburtons, a large British baking company, has introduced six dual fuel Mercedes-Benz Axor tractor-trailer units into its UK distribution fleet. Equipped with Luxfer carbon composite alternative fuel cylinders, the trucks have engines converted to run on both compressed natural gas (CNG) and diesel by the Hardstaff Group at their facility in Nottingham, England.
A fleet of 11 ecologically innovative dual fuel buses that run on both biomethane and diesel entered service in Lincolnshire, England, in late May. The Hardstaff Group converted the Optare Solo buses, using roof-mounted Luxfer carbon composite cylinders to contain biomethane made from recycled household and animal waste.
