September 17, 2018. LNG, increasingly common on the roads. Volvo's new LNG truck refueled for the first time in Finland

For the first time, Volvo has brought an LNG-powered vehicle suitable for heavy freight transport to Finland as a viable alternative. Launched at the end of 2017, the Volvo FH LNG offers a concrete alternative to diesel vehicles for long-distance driving, including full towing. LNG, as a clean and cost-effective alternative, is becoming more common on Finnish roads for heavy transport.

NG vehicles can refuel at Gasum LNG filling stations, of which there are currently four in Finland: in Helsinki, Vantaa, Turku and Jyväskylä. Gasum has committed to investing in the development of a low-emission transport gas market. Therefore, the station network will grow by several stations this year. LNG filling stations are planned in Kuopio, Lahti, Oulu and Seinäjoki, among others. Gasum also plans to expand its network of LNG filling stations to Sweden and Norway later this year. The expansion of the petrol station network is intended to meet the growing demand for heavy equipment in all the Nordic countries.
