Iveco UK named LGV Manufacturer of the Year for its alternative fuel vehicle range

As the most extensive natural gas fueled commercial vehicle range on the market, these vehicles stand out for being factory built on the main Iveco production lines – not aftermarket or end-of-line conversions.  This allows customers to access aftersales support from any of company’s 5,000 service outlets worldwide.

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.
