On November 4, the sixth Asia-Pacific Natural Gas Vehicle Association International Conference & Exhibition (also known as ANGVA 2015) was held at Chengdu Century New International Exhibition Center. This year, the conference & exhibition is jointly organized by China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC), China Industrial Gases Industry Association (CIGIA) and Asia-Pacific Region Natural Gas Vehicle Association (ANGVA). During the conference & exhibition, a forum themed with “Natural Gas Vehicles---An Ideal Choice for Clean Transportation” was held to discuss a host of important issues concerning natural gas vehicles, engines, gas stations, pressurized containers, and related spare parts. In holding such a forum, the organizers hope to promote the development of the clean energy industry. Many companies and customers attended the forum.
Making its debut at ANGVA 2015, C&C Truck new U400 6X4 LNG locomotive is measuring 7.398 meters in length, 3.905 meters in height and 2.5 meters in width.

With a maximum torque of 1,880 Nm, the engine helps the truck climb slops more easily, effectively solving the unsatisfactory performances of other natural gas powered trucks.
Double gas tank LNG truck boasts competitive continuous driving capacity. Moreover, LNG truck is superior to diesel-powered trucks when working under extremely cold weather conditions. Diesel will often freeze when the temperature drops to minus 25 to 30 degrees, which brings a lot of troubles for vehicle startup and operation. However, such headaches can be easily solved by a natural gas powered truck. More importantly, C&C Truck new U400 6X4 LNG locomotive is able to cut fuel costs by 35% compared with a diesel-powered truck. A customer of C&C truck attending the conference & exhibition also spoke highly of the braking system inside cylinders. For transporting dangerous chemicals or on long-distance transportation, the wear & tear of the braking system can be effectively reduced, ensuring the safe operation of the truck.
