Volvo Trucks has introduced a natural gas-powered Volvo VNM daycab for North America. The natural-gas option is ideal for port drayage, pickup-and delivery-applications, grocery and beverage haulers, or any private fleet concerned about carbon dioxide emissions.
Localized or closed-loop operations present a great opportunity for companies to use natural gas, either compressed (CNG) or liquefied (LNG), the company says.
Powering the VNM daycab is a 9-liter, 320-hp Cummins Westport ISL G engine developing 1000 lb ft of torque. It features maintenance-free aftertreatment, says Volvo, requiring only a three-way catalyst to meet EPA 2010 emissions standards.
Volvo recently delivered its first 10 natural gas-powered VNM daycabs, to Talon Logistics.
