Tesco has added 42 Iveco S-Way 4x2 natural gas trucks to its Livingston fleet, which are expected to cover 200,000km each year.
The supermarket giant has also worked with CNG Fuels to create a refuelling station adjacent to its regional distribution centre for added flexibility.
Cliff Smith, fleet engineering manager at Tesco said: “We are excited to introduce these eco-friendly trucks to our fleet.
“These vehicles represent a significant step towards our goal of reducing emissions and achieving carbon neutrality in our operations by 2035.
“By investing in biomethane technology and partnering with Iveco and CNG Fuels, we are committed to driving positive change and pioneering sustainable practices in the retail sector.”
Mike Cutts, Iveco business line director full range UK & ROI, added: “The new Iveco S-Way CNG is a worthy flagship for the brand.
“Combining our most efficient engine to date with the most environmentally friendly fuel will help Tesco reduce its emissions output significantly and drive it closer to reaching its net-zero commitments.
“The constant expansion of CNG infrastructure makes natural gas a viable solution for today and we’re pleased to see an increasing number of businesses driving towards their decarbonisation goals.”
