Howard Tenens and Prins Autogas have successfully converted a Mercedes-Benz Actros Euro 6 type vehicle to run on duel fuel – compressed natural gas and diesel. The innovation provides a solution to the issue facing the dual fuel vehicle technology industry in adapting a Euro 6 type vehicle to run using the carbon saving technology.

The Mercedes-Benz Actros 2445 will beneits from a 12.8/450 bhp Euro 6 engine, GVW 44,000kg operation, predictive powertrain control and a 93KG CNG capacity.

The Mercedes-Benz will shortly be followed by a DAF CNG conversion. Howard Tenens will be carrying out various fuel trials involving both CNG and Diesel Euro 6 vehicles over the coming months.
