The article contains an analysis of the load of the engines that drive city vehicles for waste collection. These vehicles operate in specific conditions and perform unconventional tasks. For this reason, the engines run in conditions of part load at low speed. Access to places where biogas is produced and the specific engine load led the Authors to propose a new concept of fuelling of the engine, which is presented in the article. To drive a waste collection vehiclefor the Authors propose to use a spark ignition engine fuelled with dried biogas, which was purified from sulphur compounds and biomethane. In case of lack of biomethane, natur al gas could be used. The two fuels are supplied to the engine in proportions depending on the load, but because of the specificity of the analyzed vehicles tasks it is expected that a significant share of time the engine will be fuelled by biogas or biogas slightly mixed with biomethane or natural gas. A prototype engine fuelled with two fuels will be based on a diesel engine, which will be modified. Especially pistons andfuel system will be changed. The ignition system with high discharge energy will be also prepared. The proposed concept of the engine intended to be applied to the waste collection vehicle is a result of analysis of engine run conditions for this type ofoperation. In particular, the idea combines the running conditions of the engine and the access of the vehicle to the place where renewable fuel is produced.
