Meyer Logistik is also involved with the construction of a public LNG refuelling station to the east of the Berliner Ring orbital motorway.
The Federal Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (BMVI) incentivised Meyer Logistik with a grant of 360,000 euros for construction LNG refuelling station.
“LNG is a promising alternative to conventional fuel,” said Rainer Bomba, State Secretary at BMVI, at the hand-over (pictured).
“Funded by the BMVI pilot project with Meyer Logistics, this deal is an important contribution in the field of new and clean drives for heavy trucks and LNG as a fuel source in Germany,” he added.
“Working as a development partner in the commercial vehicle industry, we regularly subject innovative drive concepts to practical tests, with the aim of finding a real alternative to diesel-powered trucks together with our partners,” commented Meyer Logistik managing director Matthias Strehl.
“Our customers in Spain, Italy, the UK and the Netherlands are demonstrating that LNG is an equally reliable and efficient technology that has far less of an environmental impact than other fuels,” said Pierre Lahutte, Iveco brand president.
“The Stralis NP not only produces cleaner emissions, but is also extremely quiet… This makes the vehicle suitable for urban use and calms residents' concerns about noise.”
