Ocado Extends its Investment in CNG Tractors
Online grocery retailer Ocado has ordered a further 30 IVECO Stralis NP tractors powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). The move follows an initial investment in 29 Stralis NP 4x2 tractors in mid-2018.
Ten of the latest blended biomethane-powered trucks have already gone into service, with the remainder due to follow this year.
The Stralis NP 400 4x2s, powered by a Cursor 9 Euro-6 gas engine, deliver the same output of 400hp and 1,700 Nm of torque as diesel equivalents, according to IVECO. Each vehicle emits 50% less NOx and 95% less particulate matter than current Euro-6 limits, as well as 95% less CO2, it says.
