Description
Svenska: Ingenjör Henry Graham (t. h.) demonstrerar den inbyggda generatorn i en träkolsdriven lastbil.
Sju stycken mörkgrå Volvo 3-tons lastbilar stodo på måndagsmiddagen uppställda utanför Artillerigården i väntan på att överlämnas till armén, som sammanlagt beställt 16 stycken sådana bilar. De sågo ut som vanliga lastbilar, men de voro träkolsdrivna, d.v.s. monterade med s. k. Gragasgeneratorer, levererade av AB Graham-Lundqvist. Bränslet består alltså av träkol och de 90 hästkrafter starka motorerna dra lika nånga kilo kol som en vanlig bil drar liter bensin. Dessa bilar ställa sig därför mellan 50 och 70 procent billigare i drift än bensindrivna bilar, och de nackdelar, som tidigare funnits hos träkolsgeneratorerna är numera eliminerade. Bland annat ha Gragasgeneratorerna ett filter, som gör träkolsgasen fullständigt ren och kommer den att sota mindre än bensin eller bentyl. Betydelsen av att ha en stor vagnpark av träkolsdrivna lastbilar i krigstid, då det flytande motorbränsle blir mycket svåråtkomligt, ligger i öppen dag. Därtill kommer den rent ekonomisk vinsten, som kan beräknas till omkring 1,300 kronor för 5,000 mils körning med en 3-tons lastbil.
