Iveco highlights natural gas fuel benefits to cut CO2 emissions

Iveco, the Commercial Vehicles brand of CNH Industrial, was a key participant at the European Automobile Manufacturers Association’s (ACEA) “Reducing CO2 from road transport together,” in Brussels. Representing the company was Pierre Lahutte, Iveco Brand President, who took part in the discussion panel entitled “How can we best work together to reduce CO2 emissions from road transport?”, and addressed CNH Industrial’s approach to reducing emissions in its commercial vehicles segment and outlined the benefits of natural gas, among other alternative fuel technology in achieving this decrease.

Through its Iveco, Iveco Bus and Heuliez Bus brands, CNH Industrial is the European market leader in natural gas vehicles. This is thanks to the alternative powertrain technology developed by its FPT Industrial brand, which specializes in industrial engines.

When placed alongside all current forms of alternative traction today, natural gas is the solution which offers one of the most favorable compromises between emissions, operating costs and performance. It also represents the best technical choice and is immediately available to counteract the issues of urban pollution and reduce CO2 emissions. Natural gas is also the only modern alternative fuel source that has the potential for widespread distribution in the short / medium term for commercial vehicles and buses.

An Iveco Stralis LNG Natural Power with a liquefied natural gas engine was on display for the occasion, demonstrating the LNG long-haul solutions offered by the brand. Nearly 500 of these trucks are currently circulating throughout Europe, mainly in the Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy where the presence of infrastructure for the resupply of natural gas has already been well defined.
