Natural Gas Vehicles Cleaning Up in Europe

May 4, 2008

Ravo CNG Street Sweeper.jpg
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.
