E-retailer Amazon has already taken delivery of a first batch of 216 IVECO S-Way CNG (compressed natural gas) tractors to be operated by its partners in Europe. Now, another 848 units have been ordered, with deliveries to be started in the middle of 2022 (for a total order of 1,064 trucks). These 1,064 trucks are powered by the FPT Industrial Cursor 13 natural gas engines and equipped with 1,052-litre CNG tanks, the largest available, with the expectation that they will run for approximately 385 miles between refuelling. The 848 units on order for delivery in 2022 will also feature IVECO Driver Pal, the brand's onboard vocal driver companion with Amazon Alexa features. Gerrit Marx, designated chief executive officer of IVECO Group, said: "We have [developed] solutions that allow operators to make significant reductions in emissions right now. Collaboration with global leaders like Amazon is a testament to the robust capability of our innovative products." |
