Commenting on the award win, Martin Flach, Product Director for Iveco UK, said: Many of the ECOSTRALIS’ advanced fuel-saving features will be incorporated into the International Truck of the Year-winning Stralis Hi-Way as standard, when it launches in the UK this January.”
On Iveco’s dominant position in the natural gas-powered sector, Flach added: “Iveco commercial vehicles running on compressed biomethane are operated by some of the UK’s best loved brands, including Coca-Cola Enterprises, Tesco.com and John Lewis Partnership. They are proving strong contenders in even the most demanding urban and inter-urban distribution environments.”
This GreenFleet award follows less than a year after Iveco was named Low Carbon Heavy Duty Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year 2011 at the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership Awards last November.
