CNH Industrial presents sustainable public transport solutions in Italy

Always ahead of the curve in the drive towards sustainability, CNH Industrial N.V. has played a

pioneering role in the development of alternative fuel commercial vehicles and passenger buses,

notably through its Iveco and Iveco Bus brands, with the aim of achieving ever greater levels of

sustainability in road freight and passenger transport.

Confirming the recognition of its contribution to the field, the company presented its technological

solutions at the “Sistema gomma nel trasporto passeggeri” symposium, which was promoted by the

Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. During the event, Iveco Bus South Europe Manager Luigi

Boggione illustrated the company’s vehicles and technological solutions.

The talk focused on the contributions that the brand offers in terms of reducing emissions with its

comprehensive range of alternative fuel buses, including natural gas and biogas, developed to meet

demands for ever more sustainable mobility. Apart from simply reducing environmental impacts, the

technological solutions employed offer a series of critical benefits in terms of noise reduction (of special

interest for city center transport solutions) and savings in operating costs.

A recent investigation conducted by UITP (International Association of Public Transport) found that the

average age of passenger transport vehicles on the road in Italy is 12.2 years, against a European

average of just 7.5. “However, there are also several positive cases in Italy in terms of benefits for

the environment and the public, demonstrating how advanced technology can already offer a valid

response to the urgent need for a renewal of the public road transport fleet. This is in the context of our

recent deliveries of hybrid and CNG buses to several Italian cities, including Bologna, Ravenna, Udine

and Bari,” explained Luigi.
