LPG FUELLED CITY BUS: LESS POLLUTION, LESS NOISE
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has been in use as a fuel in the Netherlands for 18 years. An improvement in noise level and exhaust gas emission is obtained, while the operating characteristics of a diesel engine are maintained. The modifications required to convert a bus to operation on LPG are outlined in the leaflet. The Research Institute for Road Vehicles at Delft will carry out conversions and will give technical advice. /TRRL/
