Document from the Working Party on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (WP.15) concerning the use of LNG fuels under discussion within the WP.29 GFV informal working group.

Since the 1960’s diesel has been the predominant fuel used for the propulsion of heavy goods vehicles.

This paper discusses ADR vehicles and such gaseous fuels.
