Iveco Australia, in conjunction with Australian Gas Limited (AGL), will promote its diverse product portfolio at this year’s Melbourne International Truck, Trailer and Equipment Show.
Iveco will showcase its compressed natural gas (CNG) technology in the form of a Daily commercial van, as part of AGL’s new CNG initiative.
Globally, Iveco invests heavily in research and development, both on its extensive vehicle platforms and, in conjunction with major power-train manufacturers, on the propulsion technology that drives Iveco vehicles further – for less.
“As part of CNH Industrial, Iveco has access to a global innovation network, as evidenced by the group’s prominence in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index,” says the head of Iveco for Australia and New Zealand, Stavros Yallourdis.
“We want to complement our existing offer in Australia and New Zealand by supporting AGL and build on their experience in this evolving market.”
The CNG Daily commercial van is powered by a Fiat Powertrain (FPT) 3-litre natural gas engine, rated at 100 kW and 350 Nm of torque, between 1500 and 2700 rpm. When combined with AGL’s CNG, the Daily offers fleets a cleaner, low-carbon and more productive alternative.
CNG can substantially reduce CO2 and other harmful emissions, while significantly reducing running costs.
Iveco Australia manufactures heavy vehicles and bus chassis from its production facility in Dandenong South, Victoria. The plant has been in operation since 1952 and has produced more than 225,000 units.
