"It has been tremendously exciting to see the success of this first DAF Euro 6 conversion to dual-fuel," comments Chris Thornycroft Smith, Gasrec non-executive director.

"It comes at a time when we have a host of vehicle manufacturers moving forward with R&D programmes to advance the development of gas vehicles, as demand for this commercially and environmentally advantageous technology grows," he explains.

Dieselgas is the first company to successfully convert a new DAF Euro 6 vehicle to run on dual-fuel (CNG and diesel) within the emissions legislation.
