Iveco scoops awards for clean air commitment

Iveco’s commitment to using technology to improve sustainability has been recognised with two award wins in the UK.

The judging panel at this year’s National Air Quality Awards presented Iveco with its Leader in Low Emissions Vehicle Award.

Will Date, editor of AirQualityNews.com, commented: “Congratulations to Iveco on receiving the award for Leader in Low Emissions Vehicles.

“The judges felt Iveco’s gas-powered engines are really helping to lead the way in cutting particulate emissions and NOx. Reducing vehicle emissions is an important component in improving air quality both now and will be even more so in the future.”

Iveco also scooped the Large Goods Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year award for the second year running at the GreenFleet Awards 2017.

The two awards followed hours after the Iveco Daily Blue Power range was named International Van of the Year 2018, completing a hat-trick of major awards for Iveco within the same week, and reinforcing its position as true sustainability champions.

Celebrating the victories, Pierre Lahutte, Iveco brand president, said: “These awards recognise our market and technology leadership in gas vehicles, plus our strategy to help customers become more sustainable, which benefits the environment and their bottom line.

“Governments, fleets and communities are demanding better air quality and lower CO2 emissions, and we’re in the enviable position as a manufacturer of having a proven, cost-effective and immediate solution available through our extensive Natural Power range.”
