The engine of the concept model, not a production machine, uses biomethane derived from waste sources. This can be a mixture of domestic organic waste, waste food from industrial food production, restaurants and canteens as well as from waste biomass products such as wood chippings, animal waste and specifically-grown energy crops.
The CASE concept uses an
It produces 95% less CO2 produced when running on biomethane, 90% less nitrogen dioxides and 99% lower particular matter than a diesel-powered equivalent, delivering an 80% reduction in overall emissions, according to CASE.
CASE also said that it worked with
The concept model can complete the full range of tasks that a standard diesel-powered wheeled loader would undertake.
