HAM’s Peru unit welcomes first Volvo LNG trucks

HAM Criogenica Peru, a unit of Spain’s HAM, has taken delivery of its first LNG-powered trucks from Volvo Peru.

These are the first LNG tractors Volvo delivered on the South American continent, HAM claims.

The firm did not provide the number of trucks or further plans for its Peru business.

Back in 2022, HAM Criogenica Peru purchased a 40 percent stake in Peru’s Limagas Movilidad.

HAM said at the time it plans to build a network of LNG fueling stations for vehicles in Peru.

Moreover, the group is expanding its fleet of LNG-powered trucks in Spain, France, Italy, and Peru, reaching more than 100 Volvo HPDI units this coming year, it said.

HAM recently launched its first EDUX LNG – CNG refueling station in Italy.

Prior to that, it opened two LNG stations in Spain.

HAM has a network of more than 140 LNG and CNG stations, located on the main transport routes in Spain and the rest of Europe.
