Duvenbeck will convert all 40 trucks used in long-distance transport for ZF Saarbrücken to biogas.
As Duvenbeck explained, when converting from diesel to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), CO2 emissions can be reduced by 20 per cent. With biogas, however, CO2 and nitrogen oxide emissions can be reduced by up to 90 per cent, and sulphur dioxide and particulate matter by almost 100 per cent.
Duvenbeck uses biogas from ViGo bioenergy. The fuel comes from the processing of biological waste from the agricultural industry.
Duvenbeck also has electric екгслі in its fleet, which are used for short-distance transport.
At the Saarbrücken plant, one of ZF's largest production sites, the technology group produces automatic transmissions for vehicles. The plant is currently preparing to produce drives for purely electric vehicles.
