Gasum is strengthening the gas filling infrastructure for heavy duty vehicles (HDVs) in Central Sweden with the opening of its first liquefied gas filling station in Borlänge, Dalarna County. The station is Gasum’s 14th gas filling station for HDVs in Sweden, and raises the company’s total network of gas sites for HDVs around the Nordics to 27 locations.

Gasum's new public filling station in Borlänge has been built in close collaboration with the region's largest logistics company MaserFrakt and TRB. Located on MaserFrakt's property, in an area with terminals and industry that experiences heavy traffic, the station offers liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied biogas (LBG) for heavy duty vehicles.

In the coming years, Gasum is planning to increase its gas filling network for HDVs in the Nordics up to 50 locations, according to a company’s press release.

As Sweden works towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions from road transport by 70 percent by 2030 compared to the 2010 levels, interest in gas as a fuel solution is steadily rising in the country. More than 800 gas-powered trucks are now making their way to Swedish roads, according to Mikael Antonsson, Director Traffic Sweden, Gasum.
