Italy: new LNG station opens in Verona

Inaugurated a new LNG service station in Sommacampagna (Verona), at a strategic motorway crossroads for transalpine transport.

The new station, in the province of Veneto, expands the network of retailers in the country and plays a crucial role in the spread of sustainable transport considering the debate on measures to limit transits on the Brenner axis in Austria, reports Transporti-Italia.

The plant owned by Dalla Bernardina F.lli, a company specialising in the sale of petroleum products that already owns nine other refuelling points in the province of Verona, distributes all types of fuel, with three double multi-dispensers in self-service mode for cars, two high capacity ones for heavy fuel, two double ones for compressed natural gas and one double one for LPG, and will soon be able to offer recharging points for electric cars as well. The station relies on an 80,000-litre tank and dispensers for natural gas, which can supply two heavy-duty trucks at the same time.

The entire structure covers an area of 13,700 square meters, with a car wash service and a large parking lot for trucks, and anticipates by a few months the second LNG filling station that the same operator expects to complete by the end of August in Nogarole Rocca (Verona).
