NOVEMBER 24, 2021

DHL Express is the first within Deutsche Post DHL Group to test hydrogen-fueled trucks for the long haul. In line with its Sustainability Roadmap, Deutsche Post DHL Group is heavily investing in the use of alternative fuels. During the piloting phase, up to 350 tons of CO 2 can be saved with the new technology.

In particular, strained ring systems including cyclopropyl and cyclobutyl groups are common in monoterpenes and impart desired properties including increased density and heat of combustion while limiting increases in viscosity. In contrast, no freezing point down to −80 °C was observed for CPA via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
