The Dutch company will use Iveco truck for its parcel delivery fleet operations, and when the trial is completed –by 2014- it will evaluate the results and whether it meets the strictest environmental and noise requirements.
Besides this LNG-powered truck, PostNL tests hybrid vans and an electrically assisted cargo bicycle, which could be implemented immediately in order to boost savings and reduce environmental impact quickly.
It is worth mentioning that the Iveco Stralis Euro-6 with LNG as fuel from OEM will be available in the market by end 2013.
