Iveco, renowned for its pioneering work in commercial vehicles powered by alternative fuels, has embarked on a significant partnership with EDEKA Minden-Hannover, a leading food retailer in Germany. The collaboration aims to transition the entire 700-vehicle company fleet from diesel to BioLiquified Natural Gas (LNG) propulsion by the year 2025. In a remarkable step towards achieving this goal, EDEKA recently placed an order for 125 Iveco S-Way LNG trucks, supplementing the 150 trucks already ordered in 2022.The Iveco S-Way LNG trucks, equipped with the cutting-edge Cursor 13 NG engine by FPT Industrial, offer a compelling alternative for sustainable freight transport. By converting its fleet to these innovative vehicles, EDEKA expects to achieve a staggering reduction of up to 95% in CO2 emissions compared to the diesel trucks being replaced. Furthermore, the natural gas engine of these trucks ensures reduced noise levels, making them an ideal choice for environmentally sensitive areas and night deliveries to stores.The 275 newly ordered trucks will join the existing fleet of 80 LNG-powered IVECO trucks already in operation as part of EDEKA's green fleet. These vehicles benefit from the Bio-LNG filling station located at EDEKA's logistics center in Lauenau, Germany, further strengthening the infrastructure for sustainable transportation.Luca Sra, President of the Truck Business Unit at Iveco Group, expressed confidence in natural gas as a mature solution capable of significantly reducing CO2 emissions. He emphasized that Bio-LNG is currently the only scalable renewable fuel, and with the deployment of Iveco S-Way LNG trucks, environmentally sustainable road freight transport can become a tangible reality. The decision by EDEKA to replace their entire fleet of 700 vehicles with LNG trucks is a resounding endorsement of Iveco's natural gas expertise and a testament to the effectiveness of this propulsion technology.Mark Rosenkranz, spokesman for the EDEKA board, highlighted their commitment to convert the entire truck fleet to Iveco LNG trucks by 2025, aiming to operate solely on Bio-LNG. This transition is a pivotal step in reducing their CO2 footprint, fulfilling their social responsibility to protect the climate and exemplifying their dedication to sustainable practices.
