Haulier chooses Iveco natural gas trucks

The 40-strong fleet of HGVs now includes 35 Iveco S-Way natural gas trucks, all of which cover more than 110,000 miles per year and, it says, offer a reduction in CO2 of up to 95% versus an equivalent diesel vehicle when run on biomethane.

Since receiving its first CNG truck in 2022, the FSEW fleet has covered more than 6.7 million miles using natural gas, which has saved approximately 8,500 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

FSEW managing director, Goeff Tomlinson, said: “We took on the mission of decarbonising our fleet after I read in a newspaper that Cardiff was the fourth-most polluted city in the UK – that was a wake-up call for me. We started decarbonising our fleet in March 2022 and I’m happy that we’ve now reached our target.

“We run 35 of these trucks for a reason. They’re comfortable, reliable and the CNG engine produces power on par with its diesel counterparts. We have a CNG refuelling station a stone’s throw from our depot, so it really is a no-brainer for us to keep using these trucks.”
