Typology of gas engines
Dual-fuel (DF) engines work on the principle of a diesel engine. LNG is used as a fuel (70-95%), while diesel (5-30%) is used as an initial batch of the ignition process.
Spark ignition (SG) engines operate on the principle of the "Otto cycle" - with fuel premix and spark plugs. Most petrol engines work on this principle.
Gas - diesel (GD) engines work on the principle of mixing the gas component into the fuel mixture. The mixing rate is at the level of 10-40% LNG.
IVECO Stralis NP
Stralis NP is a gas-powered vehicle designed for long-distance transport. Equipped with a 460 k engine, it has the same payload as an equivalent diesel truck with a range of up to 1,600 km.
It is equipped with the most powerful natural gas propulsion unit for use in commercial transport.
The new CURSOR 13 Euro VI enginewith a displacement of 12.88 liters, improved combustion and optimized weight offers the lowest fuel consumption for long journeys.

Scania R410 LNG
The Scania R 410 LNG has a real range of 1,000 km. The OC13 101 natural gas engine is coupled to the Opticruise transmission, operates in the Otto cycle, i. with fuel premix and spark plugs.
Vehicles burning LNG can reduce emissions by 20 percent. In addition, they can significantly reduce nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions. In addition, noise is significantly reduced.
Liquefied biogas is already becoming available in some countries, reducing carbon emissions by up to 90 percent.
Scania Interlink Medium Decker
At IAA 2018, Scania presented for the first time its new Interlink Medium Decker for liquefied gas (LNG) and with a range of 1,000 km. The carmaker thus further expands its rich offer of alternative fuel drives to the area of intercity bus transport.
