Cryogas opens Poland’s first LNG station for heavy duty trucks

The public-access LNG/CNG station, the first of this kind in Poland and also in Central Europe, was officially opened by public utility PGK Śrem and will mainly serve a garbage truck fleet. The facility is situated next to the regional road, linking cities Srem and Zaniemysl. With efficient design and convenient access for trucks, it is ready to fast LNG or CNG filling to all NGV customers. General constructor of the station and LNG supplier is Cryogas M&T Poland.

The official opening ceremony was attended by politics, representatives of transport companies and mass media. After a short introduction to the project by PGK Srem CEO Pawel Wojna, visitors had the opportunity to watch the fast LNG and CNG refueling capabilities for commercial vehicles powered by natural gas.

Construction of LNG/CNG station and fleet transformation from diesel to natural gas is a long term strategy of PGK Śrem. The main strategy’s goals include reducing exhaust gases, cutting fuel cost and increasing service quality. For this project, PGK Śrem chose NGVs manufactured by Iveco. Currently, the company owns two Iveco Daily CNG, two Iveco Eurocargo CNG, two Iveco Stralis CNG and one Iveco Stralis LNG. New vehicles powered by natural gas will be during 2016.

The key for the station success was a complex solution for refueling equipment and natural gas deliveries. Both services are secured by Cryogas M&T Poland, which constructed the complete LNG/CNG refueling system in nine months. Cryogas will also deliver LNG to the station by its own fleet of road semi-trailers.
