While it seemed evident that LNG pollutes less than Diesel, this fact is now confirmed thanks to this study conducted in collaboration with Jacky Perrenot, Iveco, and Axègaz.
The company tested the vehicles with a trailer loaded with 26 tons of water pallets over routes ranging from 50 to 110 km. The tests were carried out under real operating conditions, with routes representative of delivery scenarios: a highway segment, a steep incline typical of mountain roads, a national road, a departmental road, and urban streets.
The study's results confirmed the better performance and superior environmental benefits of LNG.
