IANGV SPONSOR’S PROFILE
Since its inception in 1861, the Hardstaff Group of companies has provided customers with unparalleled levels of service, performance and commercial innovation covering a broad spectrum of road transport industry solutions. Our activities are consolidated into four sectors, one of which is “Natural Gas/Biogas Vehicle, Station and Fuel Supply”.
We are internationally recognised for our engineering excellence in the area of gas vehicle technology, which allows standard production vehicles to run reliably and efficiently on natural gas. Our product and after care service enables operators to switch to cleaner and renewable fuels with minimal entry impact.
Hardstaff’s ongoing dedicated research and development has led to an increasing number of innovations that have created new standards in alternative fuelled vehicles, containment and fuelling infrastructure.
Designed for use with both compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) our own patented OIGI® dual-fuel technology meets the highest emission standards, whilst maintaining maximum fuel economy and cost savings.

OIGI® technologies can be adapted to passenger cars, light and heavy good vehicles, buses and coaches, refuse vehicles and locomotives.
Our OIGI® technologies are also compatible for use with Biogas, which, when used as a vehicle fuel, is carbon neutral and reduces global warming by burning methane that would otherwise be a greenhouse gas.
The use of Biogas reduces engine noise, SOx (Oxides of Sulphur), particulate emissions and NOx emissions.
