Candent Engineer John Leads the Way with RNG Van Trial
A NORTHWICH engineer has become the first gas man with a gas-powered van.
Cadent's John McGuire is the first to road test an Iveco fuelled by 100 per cent renewable gas – thought to be an industry-first trial.
John, who repairs and maintains Cadent's extensive underground network of mains pipes, fills up his 4.2-tonne van with compressed natural gas near Crewe railway station.
Research shows an 84 per cent drop in carbon emissions in HGVs run on CNG biomethane – gas made from the nation's waste – rather than diesel.
