VOLVO FE CNG
Powerful, productive
and clean.
Operating in an urban environment and looking for a low emissions alternative to diesel? This looks like a regular
Volvo FE from the outside, but under the hood hides a new Euro 6 engine – powered exclusively by compressed
natural gas (CNG), or preferably compressed biogas.
Automatic transmission.
The automatic transmission means you can
expect the same productivity and driving
characteristics as you get from the regular
Volvo FE. It’s developed for efficient urban
transports.
Operating range.
Choose between 2×4 or 2×3 gas tanks
fitted on the chassis. This gives an operat-
ing range of up to 400 km in light distribu-
tion and up to 250 km in severe refuse
collection.
Power and torque.
The G9K engine delivers a full 320 hp
and 1,356 Nm of torque, and has been
primarily developed for operations involving
short driving cycles with frequent starts
and stops.
Low emissions.
The gas engine emits so low levels of par-
ticles, that no particulate filter is needed.
No AdBlue either. When running on
biogas, the CO
2
emissions are reduced by
up to 70%, compared to a diesel truck.
A reliable solution.
The 6-cylinder 9-litre Volvo engine utilises
spark ignition technology, have tanks for
compressed gas mounted on both sides
of the chassis and a three-way catalyst.
Efficient and reliable. Horizontal or vertical
muffler is available.
Win the contracts.
Renewable fuel is often a requirement for
winning contracts in refuse transports. The
Volvo FE CNG enables operating in urban
environments with a significantly lower
environmental impact.
