With a view to achieving sustainability in its long-distance haulage operations, the Hegelmann Group has placed an order for 150 IVECO S-WAY LNG and 10 IVECO S-WAY CNG tractor units. These trucks will extend its green fleet, which already operates 20 LNG-powered IVECO trucks enabling the company to achieve significant reductions in CO2 emissions over the last few years. This sustainable performance has led the Hegelmann Group to invest again in the advanced LNG/CNG technology of the European market leader. In fact, a virtually carbon-neutral operation on a well-to-wheel is already possible today with the IVECO S-WAY LNG/CNG when running on Biomethane.
The IVECO S-WAY LNG/CNG vehicles on order are 4×2 standard tractor units featuring an ample Active Space cab with a high roof line. They are powered by a 460 hp Cursor 13 natural gas engine that complies with the Euro VI Step E emission standards. The LNG trucks come with two 540-litre LNG tanks, fitted on each side of the vehicle, providing a total capacity of at least 390 kg of liquid Bio-LNG, for a range of up to 1,600 kilometres, depending on the deployment scenario.
The CNG trucks feature four gas tanks, each with a gravimetric filling volume totalling 160 kg, fitted on the left and right sides, enabling a range of up to 670 kilometres. Using Biomethane, this not only allows the Hegelmann Group to significantly reduce its nitrogen dioxide and soot emissions, but also its CO2 emissions by up to 95 percent compared with a diesel truck – and can even achieve a negative carbon footprint when the biomethane is generated from animal waste.
