This year's Low Carbon Vehicle event at the Rockingham Motor Speedway is being used by Iveco to unveil its new Eurocargo Hybrid vehicle.
The 12-tonne vehicle was given its UK debut yesterday (September 7th) and will also be on display today.
It joins a long list of low-carbon Iveco models currently available in the UK, with the line-up offering electric traction vehicles, hybrid models and others using natural gas and ultra-clean EEV diesel technologies.
Martin Flach, product director at Iveco UK, commented: "We have managed to engineer all of the hybrid technology into the Eurocargo with only a 250 kg payload deficit over a conventional diesel-engined model.
"This is testament to Iveco’s unrivalled experience with alternative fuel technologies and our commitment to offering fleets the most practical real-world solutions to lowering carbon emissions."
Also on display at the industry event are a seven-tonne model which Iveco is preparing to enter operation with Tesco and a 3.5 tonne company demonstration vehicle.
