Logistics company receives first Stralis NP powered by biomethane

At Forum des Solutions Ecoresponsables-Logistique Froid Innovation event devoted to environmentally friendly initiatives for innovation in the cold chain, IVECO formally delivered ID Logistics’ first two trucks running on biomethane.  Receipt of these two trucks fits with the Group’s ongoing drive to reduce the CO2 emissions of its road haulage activities.

These two IVECO Stralis NP road tractors running on biogas are the first 400hp trucks to be delivered to ID Logistics. With their large cab and automated transmission with 12 gears, they combine a high level of drivability with low fuel consumption. With a total capacity of 920 liters, the eight CNG tanks provide range autonomy of over 500 km. They  are  powered  by  the  new  Cursor  9  gas  engine  that  emits  practically  no  particles  and  has  gained  Piek’s Quiet Trucks certification at 71 db(A).

As a result, the new fleet will help to safeguard the population’s health and living standards in the Paris region. The vehicles are capable of transporting a 28-ton payload, and since they run on biomethane (recovered from waste), their carbon footprint is guaranteed to be smaller than that of a small city car.

Six more road tractors will join the fleet over the next few weeks. They will all be assigned to operations in the Paris region for Carrefour, one of ID Logistics’ longstanding clients, to provide an eco-friendly sourcing and distribution solution. By year-end 2017, 20% of ID Logistics’ fleet will run on natural gas, including CNG, LNG and biomethane.
