Experimentation on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
CRMT carried out a study on the environmental and economic qualities of LNG compared to Diesel. The comparative study focused on the emissions of pollutants and the consumption of two Stralis Euro VI tractors:
- One running on Diesel of 460 hp,
- The other running on 330 hp of LNG.
The results of the study confirmed the best performance and environmental benefits of LNG over Diesel.
This project was carried out in collaboration with ADEME, the Casino Group, Iveco, Axègaz and the carrier Jacky Perrenot.
CRMT enhances the autonomy of a CNG sweeper from Ville de Paris.
CUSTOMER ISSUE Ville de Paris has found it difficult to ensure sufficient autonomy with its CNG sweepers to cover all cleaning routes. In the dump truck configuration, the vehicles used, of Iveco Eurocargo, are equipped with six tanks along the chassis. However, in the sweeper-vacuum configuration, space is limited by equipment, allowing only three tanks to be installed just behind the cab. This reduced storage capacity, combined with the high fuel consumption of sweepers and their hydraulic systems, significantly limits vehicle autonomy.
CRMT SOLUTION To meet this need, CRMT has developed an innovative and approved solution: the 4R+ Kit. This kit allows the sweepers to increase their autonomy by adding 22 kg of additional CNG. The solution includes installation of a new storage rack, addition of a fourth tank and adaptation of the gas line.
WHAT'S MORE ? With this turnkey standard kit, operators can plan longer cleaning routes without worrying about autonomy limitations, which maximizes their productivity and efficiency.
