LNG propelled medium and heavy CVs are likely to change the game. They are expected to triumph over CVs propelled by conventional fuels, and could provide the advantage of cost among others. More pure than CNG, and requiring a storage tank that is almost equivalent the diesel tank in a CV, LNG infrastructure could be easily developed with the help of cyrogenic tankers and LNG dispensing stations across highways at reasonable distances. A spanner in the works however could be the lack of cryogenic tank makers and suppliers, cite Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training (IFTRT) sources. Those who have the capability to produce cryogenic tanks may find it difficult to keep up with the demand, they aver. S.P. Singh, Senior Fellow & Coordinator, IFTRT, is of the opinion that the next five years should be fixed as the timeline, and CV makers should produce certain per centage of M&HCVs that run on LNG.
