Kuehne + Nagel and Iveco partner to reduce emissions with Stralis NP
Worldwide logistics providers Kuehne + Nagel and IVECO signed a contract for the supply of 14 Stralis NP LNG trucks for the Netherlands. The purchasing decision was driven by Kuehne + Nagel’s commitment to offering environmentally sound, sustainable and innovative supply chain solutions that continually reduce the impact on the environment. IVECO at the forefront of the industry in the development of natural gas vehicles partners with Kuehne + Nagel to achieve this goal.
The Stralis NP trucks, which will be used by Kuehne + Nagel to deliver transport goods between warehouses in the Netherlands and Germany, are part of IVECO’s newest generation of LNG-powered trucks. They are equipped with double LNG tanks, giving them a range of 1,500 kilometers and enabling the company to use them on longer routes thereby being more efficient. The vehicles will also have innovative trailers that will be cooled electronically.
The vehicles have 400 hp natural gas engines. With this fuel, the CO2 emissions are 15% lower than those of a truck with a diesel engine. In addition, nitrogen-oxide emissions are reduced by 70%, while particulate emissions are 95% lower. “We want to significantly reduce our carbon footprint,” said Gereon Niemeier, Managing Director of Kuehne + Nagel Netherlands. “By making use of innovative technologies and cleaner transport fuels, we can contribute to a joint reduction of CO2 and local emissions in transportation.”
“For us at IVECO it is clear that natural gas is the mature, reasonable and affordable solution to sustainable transport,” said John Venstra Iveco Benelux Business Director. “Increasingly, forward-looking companies like Kuehne + Nagel that want to reduce their carbon footprint are turning to this alternative fuel. And they are coming to IVECO, the only manufacturer with a full range of natural gas models, from light commercial vehicles all the way to heavy long-haul trucks and buses.”
