Biomethane-Fuelled IVECO Trucks Join Lidl’s Fleet, Potential To Reduce Emissions By 95%
Italian retailer Lidl recently announced the addition of five new IVECO Stralis NP 460 HP CNG (compressed natural gas) trucks that are powered by biomethane fuel, which is generated by organic or agricultural waste. “We are extremely proud to be the first Italian company to use the newest vehicles powered by biomethane, a fuel that promotes an economic model based on sustainability and the circularity of resources,” explains Pietro Rocchi, Managing Director of Sales and Logistics at Lidl Italia. Lidl plans to use the new green fleet at its logistics centre in Somaglia to restock points of sale in Northern Italy.
