Iveco has increased the range of its S-WAY CNG-powered 4x2 tractors by 15%, by increasing the total fuel capacity from 920 litres to 1,052 litres. This means it can do up to 320 miles on a single fill, depending on the driver.
The CNG tanks consist of four cylinders arranged in to a pack, with one pack sitting on either side of the truck’s chassis. Half of the total cylinders on each side remain at 115 litres, while the balance have been increased to 148 litres. The enables an additional 160kg of the compressed gas to be carried. The enlarged fuel tanks require a minimum fifth wheel height of 190mm.
Iveco UK’s medium/heavy product manager & alternative fuels lead, Jorge Asensio López said: “Natural gas, as the gateway to zero emission transport, is becoming harder to ignore. With the larger CNG tanks and a refuelling network that is undergoing nationwide growth at a considerable rate, Iveco S-WAY CNG offers operators an environmental solution that must not be ignored.”
