MAN LNG Truck with low pressure Dual-Fuel Engine

LNG will become latest 2025 an alternative to diesel in European
long haul transport (time schedule EU-Directive 2014/94/EU).
Dual-Fuel Technology has high potentials to increase GHG/fuel efficiency
compared to state of the art NG-powertrains in the market.

Objectives & Results

TGX with Dual-Fuel powertrain
• Development Dual-Fuel engine with external mixture (IDIADA)
• Development LNG Tank with electric low pressure pump (SAG, WP2)
• Truck-integration DF powertrain/LNG storage/fuel quality sensor (MAN)
• Optimization of LNG refilling (MAN, SAG)
• Package investigations finalized (MAN)
• Commissioning LNG low pressure pump finalized (MAN)
• Truck is tested/running in Dual-Fuel mode (MAN)
