- Pierre Lahutte, President of Iveco, the company’s commercial vehicles brand, was a keynote speaker at the opening of the Gas Visually exhibition being held at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI) illustrated its successes in the field of natural gas commercial vehicles before European Parliament members in Strasbourg, France. The company is the only representative from its industry to participate at Gas.
Visually, an exhibition taking place within the context of Gas Week 2014. The exhibition demonstrates the uses of gas across different sectors as well as the concrete benefits it offers to the European Union in terms of competitiveness, security of supply and reduced emissions.
Speaking on behalf of the company at yesterday’s inauguration was Pierre Lahutte, Iveco Brand President. In his keynote speech, Lahutte reiterated the importance of natural gas and the need to promote its wide-scale adoption in the transport sector: “Europe needs to provide stability and investor confidence for natural gas infrastructure and users of natural gas vehicles, in order to achieve its objectives. This was addressed during the recent G20 Summit in Brisbane with the approval of the ‘G20 Energy Efficiency Action Plan’, whose main objective is to develop a multilateral cooperation on energy efficiency. This confirms the will of the world’s most advanced economies to increase the supply and use of biofuels and natural gas as a strategic means to reducing the
environmental impacts of heavy duty vehicles”.
CNH Industrial is the European leader in the field of natural gas technologies for engines and commercial vehicles. The company’s powertrain brand, FPT Industrial, is a global frontrunner in the development and production of natural gas engines for on and off-road vehicles as well as for marine and power generation applications. Thanks to FPT Industrial’s technology, fellow company brands Iveco and Iveco Bus both count a full range of natural gas vehicles amongst their product portfolios. Iveco offers a full product line-up of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) commercial vehicles from light duty vans to medium and heavy duty trucks for every type of mission.
