Moran Logistics expands CNG fleet

Castle Donington, UK: Moran Logistics has added 15 new compressed natural gas trucks to its fleet.

The specification is aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. Mark Burrell, chief executive, Moran, said: “This is another significant forward step in our CO2 reduction. We’ve made a commitment to operating in a sustainable and ethical way and this sizeable investment in asset shows that commitment in action.”

The Scania tractors offer up to a 90% improvement on CO2 emissions. Noise pollution is reduced too, as gas engines typically run quieter than their diesel counterparts. The 13-litre CNG engine meets the Piek noise limitation standard.

“The team has pulled out all the stops to make this happen for us in time for Christmas and our collaboration with Keltruck Scania is something we continue to value”, Burrell said.
