July 2, 2023. The Deltatome transport company, located in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, near Lyon, operates in the refrigerated transport of food and pharmaceutical products, textiles products and express delivery, with a team of 46 people and a fleet of 35 vehicles.
Hedi Amara, President of the company, was quickly convinced of the importance of reducing the environmental impact of road freight transport. Therefore, he chose biogas, relying on the entire Iveco range, from the Daily to the S-Way, passing through the Eurocargo. “Today, half of our fleet runs on biogas and this proportion will grow in the coming years. Thanks to these vehicles, we are fully involved in the energy transition of our sector and we are creating real alliances with our customers who are sensitive to the environment”, explained Amara.
Thanks to his investment in biogas units, the carrier has strongly developed his activity in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, with its many low emission zones (Lyon, Grenoble, Haute-Savoie, etc.). Deltatome was also the carrier with the most kilometers traveled using biogas for Amazon, which selected it as a “Scale Champion” for its commitment to replacing fossil fuels, within the framework of the Sustainable Fleet Awards organized by the US e-commerce corporation on last October.
And to combine this passion for trucks and his environmental convictions, Hedi Amara went even further with his first decorated vehicle, an Iveco S-Way CNG painted in the colors of the Scarface movie. This truck combines the modern design of the S-Way, the nostalgia of this 1983 movie and respect for the environment.
Vehicles that run on Bio-CNG fall into the Crit’Air 1 category, which guarantees carriers unrestricted access to the ZFE where they operate. They significantly reduce CO2 emissions and local pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and fine particles, compared to a state-of-the-art diesel unit, while maintaining the same performance.
