An Iveco Stralis running on compressed natural gas (CNG) will be present at the first edition of AUTOECO, a motor show to be held in Turin and dedicated entirely to environment-friendly vehicles. The Iveco Stralis will be visible in the Fiat Research Centre, where a complete range of vehicles adopting various types of alternative fuels (electricity, methane, multi-fuel) will be on display. The show aims to exhibit the most recent technological developments in environmentally sustainable transport.
Iveco has recently presented the new CNG Stralis, thus completing its range of CNG vehicles to satisfy the broadest variety of transport needs. These include: Daily (3.5-6.5 tons), Eurocargo (12-16 tons) and Stralis (18-26 tons).
The Stralis CNG ranging from 18 to 26 tonnes is ideal for urban uses and comes with the new Allison 3200 automatic gearbox with hydraulic torque converter, 6 speeds and integrated retarder.
The Cursor 8 CNG is a gas-run engine with the following features: 6 cylinders, overhead camshaft and ultra-low exhaust emissions. Following standard Iveco procedures, a lambda probe is inserted into the closed-loop combustion system so as to guarantee that the stoichiometric combustion is not influenced by the composition of the natural gases. The exhaust pipe is equipped with a three-way platinum and palladium catalyst to reduce the concentration of CO, HC and NOx pollutants to ultra-low levels.
