Cryoshelter said it has developed a liquefied natural gas tank for heavy duty trucks.
This second generation tank technology has been developed with the single focus on lowering the tank related total cost of ownership, Cryoshelter said in a statement.
According to the statement, the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 program has recognized Cryoshelter’ LNG tank technology by awarding a €1.7 million grant to complete the required testing for full certification and commercialization.
The European LNG truck manufacturers will be the primary focus of Cryoshelter’s marketing efforts.
The Cryoshelter tank will be available in over 1000 sizes due to its modular design which will allow customers to choose the tank length to fit the chassis space rather than have the tank dimensions dictate the chassis space required.
The Cryoshelter LNG tanks lower the tank related total cost of ownership for truck operators by providing 30% more fuel capacity (adding 30% vehicle range) and reduced maintenance due to improved, long-term stability of the insulation vacuum, Cryoshelter added.
