Saica, Carreras and Iveco work together to reduce carbon footprint in freight transportation
Zaragoza, 05 Dec 2019
•The use of Liquefied Natural Gas as fuel will reduce in 22,3% the CO2 emissions versus conventional diesel trucks.
Saica, Carreras and Iveco are collaborating in a pilot project to use Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel for mid and long distance freight transportation. LNG is the most ecological fuel for internal-combustion engines that currently exists.
The project, which first test took place at the end of summer, is part of the Lean & Green initiative. Its objective is to decrease in 20% the CO2 emissions of the Supply Chain in a period of 5 years.
Among other actions, Saica is working with Carreras to use Iveco Stralis NP trucks in all mid and long distance transportation, so the CO2 emissions will be reduced in 22,3% versus regular diesel trucks. The new Iveco vehicle, with a 460 CV engine, has the same payload as a traditional truck and a range of up to 1.500 km but with a lesser carbon footprint.
For Saica, Lean&Green project has great importance due to its impact in the decarbonization of the transportation. Besides, is an example of our commitment to work with suppliers and clients to achieve a sustainable development along all the production cycle. About Saica
