• Nine specialist Fruehauf gas trailers ordered by BOC Gazy in Poland are probably the heaviest examples to carry the lightest load—hydrogen.
Each is made to carry just 321kg of the gas at a pressure of 200bar (2,940psi), but they tare out at 31.12 tonnes when empty.
Designed jointly with BOC Distribution Engineering, the Dereham, Norfolk-built trailers hold the gas in 11 interconnected tubes, each of them 9.1m (30ft) long and 61cm (2ft) in diameter.
