Piloting first LNG truck with mega trailer in Germany
DHL Freight will deploy one of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered Iveco Stralis long-haul trucks capable of towing a mega trailer. During a year-long trial period the truck will operate as a daily shuttle between DHL's logistics centre and a BMW group production plant in southern Germany.
DHL Freight has gained initial experience with four LNG trucks in Belgium since summer 2018.
Now, for the first time, a natural gas-powered truck can be combined with a mega trailer, a feat previously not possible due to tank design. With an internal loading height of three metres this equipment is a solution preferred by the automotive sector. (ben)
