Den Hartogh is using LNG-powered trucks for the first time at the Shell Rheinland Refinery in Cologne, Germany.
The deployment of the four Volvo FH LNG trucks is part of Den Hartogh’s new long-term logistics contract at the refinery and marks the long-standing partnership between the company and Shell.
The trucks have been deployed on a dedicated route for transport of Dimethyl ether (DME) for Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH since last month.
The combustion of natural gas releases significantly less CO
2, NOx and SO
2 and virtually no ash or particulates.
Shell has been a pioneer in LNG for more than 50 years and involved at every stage of the LNG journey.
