Iveco will supply German supermarket chain Edeka Minden-Hannover with 700 LNG trucks to convert its entire fleet from diesel to LNG propulsion by 2025, it said on May 12.
Edeka has already ordered the first 275 trucks, which will join its existing green fleet of 80 LNG-powered Iveco trucks. The company aims to run 100% on bio-LNG by 2025.
"By 2025, we want to convert our entire truck fleet - about 700 vehicles – to Iveco LNG trucks and run 100% on bio-LNG," said Mark Rosenkranz, spokesman for the board of Edeka Minden-Hannover. "Our truck fleet is the backbone of all our logistics operations and thus the backbone of food supply in our distribution area. The switch to Bio-LNG is a key lever in reducing our CO2 footprint. In this way, we are fulfilling our social responsibility for more climate protection."
Iveco said its S-WAY LNG trucks offer emission-free road freight transport, lower noise pollution, and contribute to lowering CO2 emissions.
