CNG-powered truck range provides diesel fuel alternative


 
Isuzu Trucks has enhanced its range with the recent release of four ultra-low emission N and F Series CNG (compressed natural gas)-powered trucks, providing buyers with an alternative to diesel fuel.
 
Isuzu Motors in Japan claims to have pioneered compressed natural gas vehicles in the early 1990s and currently commands approximately 70 per cent share of Japan's commercial CNG vehicle market – sales to date exceed 10,000 units.
 
The latest generation of Isuzu CNG trucks comprise the NLR 200 CNG, NPR 300 CNG, FSR 700 CNG and FSR 850 CNG models, said to be offering comparable performance to (and in some cases exceeding) that of their diesel counterparts, while also delivering reduced exhaust emissions, most notably harmful particulate matter (PM), which is zero in the new vehicles.
 
A further benefit of the Isuzu CNG range is lower running costs due to more stable natural gas pricing, and the ability to enter into a long-term contract with a local supplier for better balance sheet control.
 
Isuzu Australia product planning and engineering support manager Colin White says the new Isuzu CNG models exceed a number of standards.
 
"The Isuzu CNG range very comfortably exceeds EURO V and Japanese New Long Term 05 (J-NLT 05) environmental ratings required under ADR 80/03 legislation, not due for introduction until 2011," Mr White said.
 
"These models even meet some performance criteria under proposed EURO VI standards, for which an introduction date is yet to be finalised for Australia.
 
"Emitting zero PM and less than 0.2 grams of NOx per kilowatt hour, the Isuzu CNG trucks better the maximum PM and NOx engine exhaust emissions required under proposed EURO VI requirements which mandate a 50 per cent reduction in PM, and 77 per cent reduction in NOx from EURO V ratings.
 
"Overall, the CNG engines provide greenhouse gas reductions in the order of 15 to 30 per cent – and these are conservative figures."
