Natural gas as an alternative fuel, for example, Shacman vehicles Bashny.Net

Today natural gas is the only available alternative to gasoline and diesel fuel. But what is the advantage of natural gas compared to other fuels? On this issue we will focus in this article. In connection with the increase in gasoline prices in recent years has increased the number of vehicles converted to gas engines. Along with factor in reducing operating costs, an important argument in favor of natural gas is a lower emission in atmosphere of harmful substances.





 

According to information provided on the website of the official representative of Shaanxi Automobile Group Co., Ltd. in Russia, "the Automobile group, Shaanxi has become the first enterprise in China, which commenced its work on the issue of gas trucks with high engine power. Gas cars are produced by own designed and patented technologies, took its place in the family of heavy commercial vehicle products in the gas.

If we talk about the structure of the sales of Shacman trucks running on natural gas in 2013, 88,5% were tractors. The rise in sales of freight trucks forced the leadership of the Shaanxi Auto Shacman) to think seriously about the development of the line trucks with gas engines.

Technical characteristics of the vehicles running on natural gas, allow them to operate in conditions of very low temperatures, the most important for technicians working in the conditions of Siberian climate.

The main advantages of the use of Shacman vehicles running on natural gas include:

Efficiency

The cost of natural gas is limited by a special resolution of the Russian Government, according to which 1 cubic meter of gas can't cost more than 0.5 liters of the cheapest gasoline. While the fuel consumption is 1 cubic meter is equal to 1 liter of diesel fuel. That, given the situation of ever-rising prices of petrol and diesel, can significantly (in 1,5 – 2 times) reduce the cost of fuel.

 In addition, when using natural gas:

— 1.5 times increases the service life of the engine and the life of the candle;

— there is no carbon on the pistons and spark plugs;

— increasing the life of the motor oil in 1.5-2 times

Security

The risk of an accident when handling natural gas is extremely low. The gas is non-toxic and lighter than air. In case of a leak it rises up and dissolves quickly in the air. published
