Reducing Carbon Emissions

in the here and now

Natural gas is currently the only viable means of reducing carbon emissions from transport in the here and now.

IVECO have been pioneering in this area for over twenty years with the IVECO S-WAY utilising great design, exceptional TCO, connectivity and driver appeal to spearhead the movement. Ideal for night-time deliveries, ‘Silent Mode’ emits just 71dB while whatever time of day, reductions of up to 90% NO₂, 99% particulate matter and 95% CO₂ are possible when run on biomethane fuel.

New IVECO S-Way CNG leads the fight against CO₂ with 6×2 option

The new IVECO S-Way Natural Gas CNG boosts its impressive capabilities further with a new 6×2 option, enabling operators to dramatically reduce fleet emissions and meet challenging CSR targets, while also running at 44-tonnes GVW. With refuelling times comparable to diesel, this new configuration, in partnership with Astra Vehicle Technologies, allows more missions than ever to reduce CO₂ by up to 95% when running on biomethane versus an equivalent diesel truck.
