The Power Shift: How LNG is Fueling the Trucking Industry’s Green Transition

future of LNG powered trucks

During a recent Gasworld webinar titled “LNG: What Future?,” Lars Mårtensson, Environment and Innovation Director at Volvo Trucks, shared his insights on the future of trucks powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The webinar explored how LNG, as the cleanest fossil fuel, offers a significant advantage by not emitting soot or fumes upon combustion. It also produces 30% less carbon dioxide than diesel and 45% less than coal, making it a viable alternative for reducing emissions and addressing climate change during the global energy transition. However, with the rise of other energy sources, such as hydrogen and battery-electric options, a key question remains: what specific role will LNG play in the diverse energy landscape of the future?
