Euro industry award for LNG Iveco Stralis

The decision was made by a top-level jury that included representatives from the transport industry, the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), the media, research and German state institutions.

The annual award is aimed at encouraging companies from the transport and commercial vehicle industries to work in a sustainable manner and to help further solidify the principles of sustainable development. It recognizes that responsible and sustainable actions are fundamental to face environmental problems on a global scale, but that also to increase profitability and competitiveness for companies.

With LNG fuel, the up-to-330hp Stralis is not only extremely clean, it remains below Euro VI levels and is also much quieter. This last aspect makes it well-suited for inner-city uses, but with its range of about 750 km, it can also be used for long-distance routes. Together, the vehicle's use of high quality fuel, low consumption and the price of fuel make what Iveco says is a very strong economic argument.

Iveco says their Stralis LNG also scores points on a macroeconomic level; in addition to its environmental compatibility, each kg of natural gas used for driving substitutes an equivalent amount of mineral oil and, therefore, tends to reduce pricing pressures.

Sustainability is about more than just the final product: the jury's evaluation criteria also required sustainable practices in the production process and protection of environmental resources and the environment.
