Northern Ireland-based Derry Group has added a number of Scania G410 compressed natural gas trucks to its fleet, supplied by Scania UK, according to reporting in HGV Ireland.

The vehicles represent the latest investment in the Group's fleet, bringing alternative, sustainable and low-carbon fuel to the business. These are the first Scania Gas-powered trucks introduced to a fleet in Northern Ireland.

The trucks were supplied by and will be maintained by Granco Ltd, providing ongoing technical support and servicing for the compressed natural gas vehicles. The Scania G410 compressed natural gas configuration provides tractor units suitable for long-distance operations requiring reduced emissions and lower operating costs compared to conventional diesel-powered vehicles.

Derry Group operates road freight services across Northern Ireland and Irish markets, requiring fleet capabilities supporting diverse transport operations. The investment in compressed natural gas vehicles indicates the company's commitment to sustainability objectives and emissions reduction across its operations.

Compressed natural gas represents an alternative fuel option for heavy commercial vehicle operators seeking to reduce carbon emissions whilst maintaining operational flexibility and payload capacity. The Scania G410 compressed natural gas engine delivers comparable power and torque to diesel equivalents, supporting haulage operations across long-distance and distribution applications.

The introduction of compressed natural gas vehicles to Northern Ireland fleets reflects growing operator interest in alternative fuel technologies supporting environmental sustainability goals and compliance with evolving emissions regulations affecting commercial vehicle operations across the UK and Ireland.

Granco Ltd provides Scania commercial vehicle sales, maintenance and technical support services across Northern Ireland, offering customers comprehensive aftersales care for gas-powered and conventional truck operations.
