IVECO has won two accolades in the newly inaugurated
"Sustainable Truck of the Year" awards. The Eurocargo CNG won in
the "Distribution" category and the Daily Electric in the "Van"
category.
LONDON, Feb. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IVECO, a brand
of CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI), has won in two categories
at the "Sustainable Truck of the Year" awards, promoted by the
Italian trade magazine Vado e Torno, in collaboration with
Lifegate, an Italian network that provides national and
international information and services on environmental, energy and
sustainability issues. The award series was inaugurated this year
in response to the growing awareness of sustainability in the
transport sector. It celebrates the most ecofriendly goods
transport vehicles presented in 2016 that are currently available
on the market in the "Tractor", "Distribution" and "Van"
categories. IVECO was the only brand with a product nominated in
each category, the Stralis NP (Natural Power) in the Tractor
category, the Eurocargo CNG for Distribution and the Daily Electric
in the Van category, confirming the brand's ability to offer
sustainable transport solutions for every commercial vehicle
product segment.
The IVECO Eurocargo CNG, which runs on compressed natural gas,
was named "Sustainable Truck of the Year" in the "Distribution"
category. This particular model is equipped with an IVECO Tector 6
natural gas engine with 210 horsepower that is engineered by FPT
Industrial, the powertrain brand of CNH Industrial. The engine
offers significant advantages in terms of emissions as well as
efficiency and easy maintenance. It respects Euro VI standards,
thus allowing it access to low emissions zones in city centers and
is silent, rendering the vehicle ideal for night time urban
missions.
According to the jury "the IVECO Tector 6 natural gas engine is
a leader in cleanliness: particulate matter is practically
inexistent, reduced CO2 emissions (an over 80% reduction
if biomethane is used) and engine noise is under 60 decibels. The
Eurocargo takes advantage of this advanced technology, which is
immediately available and also cost efficient, allowing it
unlimited road access in cities. Furthermore, the vehicle offers a
vast selection of configurations and weights up to 16 tons."
The IVECO Daily Electric also took home a "Sustainable Truck of
the Year" award in the "Van" category thanks to a number of factors
including its use of high efficiency auxiliary electric systems,
low gross vehicle weight, reduced energy consumption, 20% higher
battery life on a 100% recyclable battery and an increased payload
of some 100 kilograms. Through its patented flexible charging mode,
the battery can be charged in both public and private settings by
connecting to a rapid charging station for an average time of only
two hours.
The jury outlined the characteristics of the Daily Electric that
stood out for them in their choice: "With the latest launch in this
product range, the Daily Electric has really come into its own.
Efficiency has risen by 25%, payload has increased by 100 kilograms
and it has an autonomy of over 200 kilometers. With fully
recyclable batteries, the Daily Electric is a genuine zero
emissions and zero noise-emitting choice for distribution in urban
centers."
"IVECO winning two awards out of three at 'Sustainable Truck of
the Year' is a result that makes us very proud, especially because
we have attained success in the field of sustainability and energy
efficiency. This recognition gives our brand pay-off: 'IVECO. Your
partner for sustainable transport' further credibility in the eyes
of our customers," commented Pierre Lahutte, IVECO Brand
President.
