Iveco has been recognised by the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership with a prestigious award for being the Low Carbon Heavy Duty Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year 2011.
The award, sponsored by the Road Haulage Association, was presented at the Low Carbon Champions Awards, held in November at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) in Westminster, London.
The judges said Iveco was a worthy winner having established a strong portfolio of lower carbon technologies including a wide range of natural gas-powered vehicles, together with dedicated electric and hybrid models across its full range of commercial vehicles. Judges also praised Iveco for actively supporting the introduction of new technology through innovative promotion, making special reference to the successful launch of its new ECOSTRALIS tractor unit.
Martin Flach, Product Director at Iveco UK, said: “This is a fantastic award to win as it clearly recognises the breadth of Iveco’s low carbon expertise in the commercial vehicle sector as being second to none.
“It reflects the fact that Iveco has been investing heavily in alternative fuels since the mid-1990s and that today we offer more alternative fuel vehicles in the European market from 3.5 tonnes and above than any other manufacturer.”
Iveco have invested in the continual development of the diesel engine, which last January culminated in the launch of the EcoStralis – the cleanest and greenest heavy powered truck on the market.
