Volvo Trucks Try LNG Engines for North America

According to reports, the Volvo Trucks Division plans to introduce a 13-liter LNG engine to the North American market in 2014. At the same time, it will also launch a new form of natural gas fuel - dimethyl ether (DME) as a further alternative energy sources.

As the cost of fuel increases, the company plans to continue working to improve efficiency. Volvo is also carefully considering whether to choose LNG to match compressed natural gas products. They claim that the new engine can increase efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, Volvo also stated that the new engine can improve energy efficiency without sacrificing any torque or power. Currently, manufacturers have conducted road tests on this dimethyl ether-powered car. Volvo also expects that this fuel may become an option for large quantities of natural gas in North America.

Ron Huibers, president of sales and marketing at Volvo North America, showed that by using seven different types of fuel to drive cars in 2007, they have proven their strength. He further pointed out that they will continue to improve their work on the premise of using alternative fuels and power systems. In addition, he also mentioned their "comprehensive strategy, including natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and dimethyl ether with great potential, which means that with the improvement of infrastructure, we will have a complete natural gas solution."

Dot peen marking works by electromechanically striking a carbide or diamond stylus assembly against the surface of a part to be marked.For example,Dog Tag Engraver.The result is a succession of dots to create digits, text, logos, and 2D data matrix codes. Each such dot is the result of a pulsed current that runs through a solenoid, punches a magnet toward the surface, and subsequently returns the stylus to its starting position, awaiting the next pulse. Because each pulse occurs in only a fraction of a second, an entire 2D data matrix code, for example, can be completed in seconds (depending on the size). 
Notable Characteristics: 
Cost effective
Requires no consumables
High speed accuracy
Will mark any material (including hardened steel)

Compressed air is not required.
