[Voice Over]

My dad was a trucker, and so was his dad.

[Voice Over]

I’ve got diesel running through my veins, you might say. Got a few million miles at the wheel myself. Now, I run my own fleet.

[Voice Over]

People will always need to transport things, that’s what I say. But my kids, or grandkids, will they be able to enjoy it like I do? You know, the scenery, nature – the way things are going? Something needs to change.

They say LNG is the best alternative fuel over the near future, for long distance transportation.

[Video footage]

Vertically panning close-up of a “Shell LNG” banner. Wide bird’s eye view, cutting to a closer view, of an LNG vessel crossing calm waters, land visible in the background.

[Voice Over]

It’s a cleaner burning alternative to the old diesel, so my LNG truck helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It’s a contribution I can make today.

So they did. In fact, they showed me loads. Shell’s opening LNG stations locally, on major routes and all across Europe – all the time. Refuelling is a bit different, but it isn’t rocket science. It’s simple, safe and speedy.

[Voice Over]

I’ve made the right decision, I’ve chosen LNG.
