Dual-Fuel Technology
Diesel Pilot Ignition No change to diesel engine Uses Diesel 4-stroke cycle Retains diesel performance & fuel economy Substitutes 60-85% gas (average) Torque-based control delivers smooth transition from diesel to gas operation Can use LNG, CNG or bio-methane Delivers lower carbon & GHG emissions

Dual-Fuel can instantaneously return to 100% diesel when gas runs out or infrastructure fails

Conclusions

Dual-Fuel is a practical, proven and reliable alternative to diesel in heavy-duty powertrain The cost differential of Natural Gas to diesel delivers significant operating cost savings Running HGVs on Natural Gas and specifically Bio-Methane will improve the Europes energy security Using natural gas or bio-methane, Dual-Fuel offers a practical route to reduced greenhouse gas emission from HGV fleets The use of Dual-Fuel and bio-methane can reduce the greenhouse gas emission from HGV fleets by around 65% well-to-wheels
