The White Van Man and Man With A Van have been present on Britain’s roads for years but they could soon be replaced by the Green Van Man and the Man With An Eco-Van. Volkswagen have announced plans to launch an ecologically (and economically) friendly version of their much used caddy van.
The Caddy EcoFuel and the larger Caddy Maxi EcoFuel will go on sale this summer and will be powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The new vans will be cheaper to run as well as producing fewer harmful emissions. CNG costs roughly half the price of Diesel.
A VW van running on CNG will produce 50% less Carbon Monoxide and emissions of Nitrogen Oxide will be about 97% reduced. The vans will also run on Biomethane which may soon be available at regular petrol stations and old fashioned Petrol should you run out of gas.
The Caddy EcoFuel will not be the only CNG vans for sale as Opal and Mercedes-Benz are looking into new models for production.
Great post. I will read your posts frequently. Added you to the RSS reader.
All them tanks are certainly going to reduce the payload.
