Four-pack between Herford and Cologne. LNG locations of Westfalen.
LNG is a viable fuel for the future that will make heavy-duty transport more efficient and lower in emissions. But in order to reap the benefits of LNG, a well-developed LNG filling station network throughout Europe is of great importance. The prospects are good: DENA assumes that by 2025 there will be around 200 LNG filling stations in Germany alone to ensure nationwide supply.
Our goal is to make heavy goods transport more efficient and environmentally friendly and thus contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.
Together with fleet operators, freight forwarders, logistics companies, local politicians and economic development agencies, we are therefore working at full speed to further expand the necessary LNG infrastructure throughout Germany. At heavily frequented transport axes and important hubs.
We currently operate four LNG filling stations in Germany. Further locations are being planned.
If you have a petrol station location request, please let us know. We will then check the possibilities.

• You would like an individual LNG offer. We only need the number of your vehicles and the annual mileage.
• You are interested in or need LNG, but there is not yet a filling station near you.
• You are active in regional and long-distance transport and use heavy trucks (>18 t) with a mileage of at least 100,000 kilometres per year.
• You already operate LNG vehicles or would like to switch to tractors powered by liquefied natural gas.
Our competent team is at your disposal and will answer your questions quickly and straightforwardly.
The first Westfalen filling station for LNG was opened in Münster Amelsbüren as early as 2020. Today, you can also conveniently fill up with LNG at the Herford, Herne and Cologne locations. In addition to an LNG filling station in Kerpen, further LNG locations are currently being planned.
All Westfalen LNG locations are in operation 24/7. As central contact points, they combine alternative drive energies with a wide range of sustainable products and services: A truck wash facility awaits you in Münster and Herford respectively, while there is a bistro at all locations and an additional Burger King in Cologne.
Would you like to know where your truck drivers can currently fill up with LNG?
An overview of the entire LNG filling station network is provided by the maps of the Deutschen Energie-Agentur (Dena) as well as der Natural & bio Gas Vehicle Association (NGVA) Europe.
With the locations Münster, Herford, Herne and Cologne, there are currently four Westfalen LNG filling stations in Germany that are in operation 24/7 for heavy goods traffic. In addition to a filling station in Kerpen, further LNG sites are currently being planned.
The crucial difference is that cryogenic liquefied natural gas is refuelled here instead of conventional fuel. Since this is cooled down to about -162 °C and is highly flammable, you must be instructed for the refuelling process, wear protective equipment when refuelling and follow a set set of instructions at the pump.
With all the necessary steps, the LNG refuelling process takes about 10 minutes, which is only slightly longer than is the case with conventional fuels such as diesel.
What do I have to consider when refuelling with liquefied natural gas (LNG)?
After a mandatory briefing and the donning of protective clothing, you must follow set steps for LNG refuelling that are designed for safety and adapted to the extremely cold fuel. Learn more here.
