above), but it has been cooled to the point where it becomes a liquid. This reduces its volume. Typically carried in heavily insulated vehicle tanks at 6 bar pressure and -160°C, it can be fed into a modified diesel engine to replace up to 95% of the diesel fuel normally burnt.
Its range is better than CNG vehicles, but the conversion of the engine is more expensive In addition, an LNG supply and filling station are needed.
