February 22, 2022. Iveco has selected the Maganetti Group as its third Iveco Ambassador for being a transport operator that shares the brand’s belief in natural gas and for its contribution to protecting the environment by running their fleet of Iveco vehicles on LNG and Bio-LNG.
The Maganetti Group’s appointment as an Iveco Ambassador follows the selection of GLS Italy for Italy and Nicholls Transport for England – transport operators that have had the opportunity to share their experience with natural gas and the resulting advantages for their businesses. In addition, the Maganetti Group will play their part in planting 50 trees in the “Iveco Forest” through the partnership with e-commerce platform Treedom, as the other Italian Ambassadors have done.
Headquartered in Tirano in the province of Sondrio, the Maganetti Group offers an industrial transport service structured to support its customers in all their logistics needs, from loading up to final delivery of the products.
Matteo Lorenzo De Campo, Managing Director of the Maganetti Group, said: “Our objective is to have a truly zero-impact fleet within the next nine years. We made the decision to transition vehicles to an alternative propulsion by weighing up all the pillars of sustainability, that is the potential social, economic and environmental impacts. Our analysis back in 2014 led us to believe that this technology was logistically viable, economically sustainable, and environmentally beneficial.”
Fabrizio Buffa, Iveco Italy Market Alternative Propulsions Manager, stated: “For us at Iveco, natural gas continues to be the immediate and technologically mature solution to the decarbonization of the sector. In fact, vehicles that currently run on fossil methane can be fueled by biomethane, a fuel that can achieve a reduction in emissions of up to 121%, as demonstrated in a recent industry study by the National Research Council of Italy”.
