LOGISTICS provider Kuehne+Nagel has put eight new Volvo FH Globetrotter LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) tractor units into 24/7 operation on two major contracts with Whitbread and Costa, as part of its drive to reduce emissions.
Their arrival marks the first Volvos to enter service in Kuehne+Nagel’s UK fleet, following the firm’s participation in the Innovate UK-funded ‘Dedicated to Gas’ project.
The 6×2 pusher-axle tractors feature 155kg LNG tanks and benefit from Volvo’s 12 speed I-Shift automated transmission, as well as the latest generation I-See predictive cruise control system.
