IVECO wins record order for CNG trucks in South America
IVECO, a brand of CNH Industrial N.V., has won a record order to deliver 100 Stralis Natural Power trucks powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) to NRG Argentina, a supplier to the oil and gas industry. The order represents the largest of its kind in South America.
NRG Argentina has also purchased 100 maintenance contracts for the trucks, which will enable IVECO to assist in the development of an exclusive service and maintenance centre within the province of Rio Negro in central Argentina, near NRG’s headquarters.
The Stralis Natural Power trucks maximise the environmental advantages of natural gas delivering a reduction of between 40 and 50% in fuel costs compared to their diesel counterparts, and emissions reductions of up to 90% of nitrogen dioxide, 99% of particulate matter and 10% carbon dioxide, increasing to 95% when biomethane is used.
Marcio Querichelli, brand leader at IVECO South America, said: “We continue to offer our Argentine clients an economically and environmentally sustainable solution.
“This sale represents an important next step for IVECO and the local market, as it responds to a change in the energy matrix in our country.
“In addition, the sale of 100 maintenance contracts is testament to IVECO’s commitment to not only offering a product but also providing fleet service solutions.”
