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

Green Car Congress

DME’s easy handling properties make fueling and infrastructure relatively simple and inexpensive. ISO 16861 specifies a maximum limit of 0.050 mass % methanol and 0.030 mass % water in DME used for fuel. ( Oberon units have the capacity to produce 10,000 gallons of DME per day to service regional fuel markets. Earlier post.).
