Gasum’s new gas filling station was opened at Kranaattikuja 2 in Kuopio. The new station serves heavy-duty vehicles as well as passenger cars. The gas filling station also serves heavy-duty vehicles by offering liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Gasum aims to expand the heavy-duty filling station network by around 50 stations in Finland, Sweden and Norway by the early 2020s, and the new Kuopio station is part of this evolving network and the latest addition to the expanding Finnish filling station network.

”The Kuopio filling station provides more and more businesses and private individuals with access to environmentally friendly gas fuel. The station supplements the gas filling station network available by national road 5, which is an important route for domestic road travel. The station’s location is also excellent for LNG-fueled heavy-duty long-haul operations,” says Olli Paasio, Director, Traffic Finland, from Gasum.

The popularity of driving on gas is increasing at a huge rate and the 10,000 natural gas-powered cars mark was exceeded before the end of last year in Finland. More than 4,000 natural gas cars entered Finland’s roads during 2019 alone.
