(PetroPlaza, 20.Jan.2019) — Owned by the Andreu carrier company from Mendoza, the new fleet will carry the Virtual Gas Pipeline, the system used by Galileo Technologies to distribute gas as liquid fuel.

The event took place in the Anchoris Thermoelectric Power Plant, in the Mendoza province, and included the fuelling with liquid natural gas (LNG) of six Scania G340 trucks.

“When this truck fleet working for Galileo starts riding the Argentine roads, we will show that LNG is the most adequate fuel for cargo transportation because it is national, clean and inexpensive”, said Osvaldo del Campo, President and CEO of Galileo Technologies.

Fitted with two cryogenic fuel tanks that can load up to 265 kilograms of LNG, the trucks boast a 1100 kilometres fuel range. During their trips, that will include riding along mountainous routes and gravel roads, the new trucks will tow the trailers that Galileo uses to carry LNG from wells scattered around Mendoza and Neuquén to the recently opened Anchoris Thermoelectric Power Station, which runs on LNG.

In the mid-term, Galileo Technologies will present a Blue Corridor of LNG filling stations so that the new fuel becomes available in the Argentine roads. The plan will include the availability of LNG dispensers for logistical centres.
