August 7, 2022. The “Plant the Future” project, launched by Iveco on July 2021 in collaboration with reforestation organizations, confirms its commitment to be an active contributor for a sustainable future.
As a pioneer in alternative propulsion, Iveco offers a wide range of low CO2 emissions vehicles, including the groundbreaking S-Way truck that provides a ready to go solution to decarbonization when powered with biomethane. The company’s engagement to sustainability doesn’t stop there, as Iveco invests in a range of projects to reduce emissions and improve the environment, such as the “Plant the Future” programme, which aims to increase the green spaces on our planet.
The project has already been successfully implemented in Italy, Poland and Germany, and in just a year since its launch, the CO2 savings through the S-Way gas trucks sold in these markets and the trees planted and donated to the customers with the vehicles’ delivery potential has exceeded 45,000 t/y.
The CO2 saved is equivalent to the quantity absorbed by more than 3 million trees in a year.
“If all these trees were planted 7 meters apart in a row, they would form a line stretching from the South pole to the North pole” comments Giandomenico Fioretti, Iveco Head of Alternative Propulsion Business Development. “If you can picture this, you have an immediate idea of how big a difference we can make by spreading the use of natural gas and, particularly, Bio-CNG/LNG in the transport industry. Our zero-carbon goal really is within our reach!”.
