dhl freight 是歐洲的公路貨運(yùn)服務(wù)供應(yīng)商之一，已部署了首批能夠牽引大型拖車的以液化天然氣 (lng) 為動力的 iveco stralis 車之一。在為期一年的試驗(yàn)期內(nèi)，這輛卡車將作為 dhl 物流中心和德國南部寶馬集團(tuán)生產(chǎn)工廠之間的日常穿梭車。得益于更高的裝載高度和更高的燃油效率，公路運(yùn)輸中的大型拖車對汽車行業(yè)尤其重要，使 bmw group 成為在德國進(jìn)行測試的理想合作伙伴。自去年與寶馬集團(tuán)續(xù)簽合同以來，dhl 一直在管理這家汽車制造商在七個(gè)領(lǐng)域的供應(yīng)鏈，以及 17 個(gè)國家/地區(qū)之間的所有公路運(yùn)輸。

　　“液化天然氣卡車和大型拖車的結(jié)合是汽車物流的一個(gè)有前途的可持續(xù)解決方案。我們能夠以方式滿足客戶的運(yùn)輸要求，顯著減少供應(yīng)鏈中的溫室氣體排放。dhl freight 執(zhí)行官 uwe brinks 表示，使用天然氣可提高燃油效率并減少有害排放，這有助于使長途公路運(yùn)輸更具可持續(xù)性。

　　dhl freight 在比利時(shí)獲得了使用 lng 卡車的初步經(jīng)驗(yàn)。自 2018 年夏季以來，其中四輛重型車已成為世界上的運(yùn)動鞋和運(yùn)動服開發(fā)商和銷售商之一的可持續(xù)運(yùn)輸解決方案的一部分。現(xiàn)在，以天然氣為動力的卡車可以與大型拖車相結(jié)合，這是以前由于油箱設(shè)計(jì)而無法實(shí)現(xiàn)的壯舉。三米的內(nèi)部裝載高度使該設(shè)備成為汽車行業(yè)的解決方案，因?yàn)樗粌H提供更大的裝載能力，還可以裝載更大的備件。

　　根據(jù)德國郵政 dhl 集團(tuán)的目標(biāo)，即到 2050 年將所有與物流相關(guān)的排放量減少到零凈值，dhl freight 越來越多地投資于短途和長途運(yùn)輸?shù)奶娲?qū)動器。與傳統(tǒng)柴油動力發(fā)動機(jī)相比，lng 燃料卡車的燃油效率提高了 15%，行駛里程可達(dá) 1500 公里。這代表了直接的成本節(jié)約。與當(dāng)前歐 vi 柴油規(guī)范要求的水平相比，它們的顆粒物排放量減少了 99%，氮氧化物 (nox) 排放量減少了 70%。當(dāng)旅行包括市中心地區(qū)和全天候運(yùn)輸時(shí)，lng 動力發(fā)動機(jī)發(fā)出的噪音水平大大降低，提供了額外的好處。

　　dhl freight, one of the leading providers of road freight services in europe, has deployed one of the very first li natural gas (lng)-powered iveco stralis long-haul trucks capable of towing a mega trailer. during a year-long trial period the truck will operate as a daily shuttle between dhl’s logistics center and a bmw group production plant in southern germany. thanks to a higher loading height and increased fuel efficiency, mega trailers in road transport are particularly important for the automotive industry, making bmw group the ideal partner for testing in germany. since last year’s contract renewal with the bmw group, dhl has been managing the automotive manufacturer’s supply chain in seven additional areas, as well as all road transport between 17 countries.

　　“the combination of lng truck and mega trailer is a promising sustainable solution for automotive logistics. we are able to meet the customer's transport re in the best possible way, while also significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions along the supply chain. the increase in fuel efficiency and proven reduction of harmful emissions that comes with using natural gas help to make long-distance road transport more sustainable,” states uwe brinks, ceo dhl freight.

　　dhl freight has gained initial experience with lng trucks in belgium. since summer 2018, four of these heavy-duty, long-haul trucks have been part of a sustainable transport solution for one of the world’s largest developers and sellers of athletic footwear and sportswear. now, for the first time, a natural gas-powered truck can be combined with a mega trailer, a feat previously not possible due to tank design. an internal loading height of three meters makes this e a preferred solution in the automotive sector as it offers not only more loading capacity but also the possibility of loading larger spare parts.
