Oct 2 (LNGJ) - Russian natural gas company Gazprom has held a ceremony marking the start of construction of the first LNG filling station for trucks near the town of Okulovka on the new Moscow-St. Petersburg highway, known as the M11. Gazprom is building a network of LNG and natural gas filling stations in cooperation with the Russian state highways company to encourage trucking companies to switch to cleaner gas fuel from diesel. “The conversion of trucks to natural gas will help improve the environmental situation in transit cities and towns and cut down transport costs due to fuel savings,” said Vitaly Markelov, Gazprom Deputy Chairman.
