Examination of the Load’s Effect on Fuel Consumption and CO<sub>2</sub> Emissions, in the Case of a Diesel and LNG Powered Tractor
This study compares the environmental impacts of diesel and LNG-powered tractors under varying loads, by utilizing a cost-effective measurement system on the ZalaZONE Proving Ground. The same test cycles and scenarios were conducted with both trucks simultaneously on the closed test track modules an...

| description | This study compares the environmental impacts of diesel and LNG-powered tractors under varying loads, by utilizing a cost-effective measurement system on the ZalaZONE Proving Ground. The same test cycles and scenarios were conducted with both trucks simultaneously on the closed test track modules and the research highlights LNG’s advantages in reducing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, particularly under lower load conditions. This innovative approach, based on the fuel consumption rather than expensive exhaust gas analyzers, underscores LNG’s potential in meeting EU emission targets. The results support LNG as a competitive and sustainable alternative to diesel, promoting greener freight transport solutions for the future. |
