Germany, Munich 

Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) and biomethane as a fuel are proving to be a prominent drawcard at the 15th  International Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Refuse and Recycling (IFAT), currently underway in Munich. The fair features a world premiere showing of Dutch built Ravo street sweepers. The Ravo is powered by an Iveco natural gas engine, producing 136 hp and carrying a 2.9 tonne payload. On board fuel storage of 65 kgs provides enough fuel for an 8 hour shift without refueling. Also featured at IFAT were natural gas powered trucks and vans from Iveco and MercedesBenz.
