NAIT partnering with Oberon, Mack and Westcan to advance use of DME fuel in long-haul trucks

Green Car Congress

The technology will remove any residual water from the DME before injection into the engine, eliminating the risks of corrosion and reduced performance. However, because it can be stored as a liquid under moderate pressure, it eliminates the need for the high-pressure containers used for CNG or cryogenics, as in the case of LNG.
