An LNG tanker truck is a specialized road transportation vehicle designed to safely transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) between terminals, storage facilities, industrial sites, refueling stations, and other end-use locations.
Because LNG must be maintained at cryogenic temperatures during transportation, an LNG tanker truck uses a vacuum-insulated tank and specialized pressure, piping, and safety systems to minimize heat transfer and support reliable LNG delivery.
CIMC ENRIC LNG tanker trucks are designed for different transportation capacities, operating conditions, and regional requirements. Depending on the project, customers can select suitable tank capacity, working pressure, chassis configuration, safety equipment, and applicable standards.

The recommended configuration depends on the required LNG volume, transportation distance, road regulations, tractor or chassis configuration, and unloading conditions.
An LNG tanker truck transports liquefied natural gas in a specially designed cryogenic tank while maintaining the low-temperature conditions required to keep LNG in liquid form.
The transportation process generally includes four main stages:
LNG is loaded into the insulated tanker through dedicated filling connections at an LNG terminal, storage facility, or loading station. The loading system is designed to control pressure and flow during the filling process.
The LNG is stored inside a vacuum-insulated tank. The tank consists of an inner pressure vessel and an external jacket, with insulation between the tank walls to reduce heat transfer and limit LNG evaporation during transportation.
During transportation, pressure, temperature, valves, and other critical operating conditions are monitored through the tanker truck's control and safety systems. The vehicle configuration can be selected according to transportation distance, road conditions, payload requirements, and local regulations.
At the destination, LNG can be transferred to storage tanks, industrial gas systems, LNG refueling stations, or other receiving facilities through dedicated unloading equipment and pipelines.
The specific loading, transportation, and unloading configuration depends on the project and applicable safety requirements.
