IVECO has introduced the new Stralis X-WAY and its sustainable vehicle ranges for the construction industry at Paris Intermat 2018, addressing President Macron’s call for massive conversion of heavy truck fleets to gas
IVECO showcases its wide offer of vehicles for the road building, urban construction, recycling and quarry sectors on the CASE Construction Equipment stand (Hall 6 Stand E 042) at Intermat 2018.
The company’s natural gas-powered vehicles aim to address President Macron’s call for the conversion of the country’s heavy truck fleets to gas at the European Commission’s High-level Conference on Financing Sustainable Growth held in Brussels on 22 March 2018.
“It is about committing resolutely to a transformation of the transport sector, through a widespread use of electric and hydrogen vehicles and the conversion of heavy freight to gas,” said the company.
The new Stralis X-WAY truck developed for construction logistics is the perfect answer for the ongoing boom in construction driven by the Grand Paris project. On display is its natural gas version, ideal for operating in Paris due to the city’s focus on curbing emissions.
The brand is presenting at the show the Stralis X-WAY, the new range specifically developed for construction logistics and urban service missions, which aim to provide the desired crossing for on-road applications requiring off-road mobility.
The area dedicated to Recycling highlights how IVECO and CASE offer a complementary range of products that aim to make a perfect combination to achieve a circular economy based on the generation of biomethane from waste.
On display in this area is a Stralis X-WAY Hook Lifter, suitable for the recycling industry with its manoeuvrability, compact overall dimensions, ground clearance, traction and big payload.
For the Urban sector, IVECO is presenting its sustainable Light Commercial Vehicles and trucks featuring its advanced alternative traction technologies, the natural gas powered Daily Blue Power – International Van of the Year 2018 – and the Stralis X-WAY NP (Natural Power). The brand aims to be at the forefront of the industry with its sustainable solutions, which are increasingly in demand because of the fight against climate change and the issue of clean air in urban areas.
Apart from these, on display were a number of vehicles from IVECO which include Stralis X-WAY NP, Daily Blue Power, Daily Hi-Matic Natural Power, Astra HD9 8x6 Euro VI and a Trakker, the new HD9 86.50 Euro V etc. These vehicles are designed to provide a further environmental advantage combined with the payload and performance benefits of the range for construction logistics operations in urban centres with restrictions on diesel vehicles and job sites operating 24/7 with noise constraints.
