Shell International Gas supplied the GTL fuel for a shuttle bus operated by JR Tokai Bus Company. Showa Shell Sekiyu and Toyota Tsusho providedg technical support for the world’s first supply of GTL to a Hino advanced hybrid heavy-duty vehicle.
GTL fuel is made from natural gas, and is colourless, odourless and cleaner than conventional refinery-produced diesel fuel, and virtually free of sulphur and aromatics.
A significant number of trials around the world have confirmed it significantly reduces emissions of particulates and carbon monoxide.
