Most Recology collection trucks now operate on renewable natural gas and renewable diesel. By shifting to cleaner fuels and optimizing collection routes, the company reduced fleet emissions by 44% in three years (2019-2022). Its transition away from conventional fossil fuels began in the early 1990s, when the company started using CNG and LNG in its vehicles.
UltraTech is making strides in its commitment to decarbonization of its operations with this second deployment of GreenLine’s LNG vehicles, after the first deployment at its Awarpur Cement Works near Nagpur. The use of these LNG trucks, manufactured by Blue Energy Motors, is a significant step towards achieving the company’s sustainability targets.
Scania Argentina delivered a vehicle of the Green Efficiency Line to Logística Urbana SA to be tested for a month in waste collection in the city of Córdoba. With great results, the urban cleaning provider tested a CNG-powered rear-loading P280 4×2 truck, which allowed to verify an excellent driving autonomy.
IVECO has delivered 10 natural gas trucks to Tservice SPA through Socom Nuova, its dealer in Naples. The IVECO S-Way, model AS440S46T/P LNG, will run on biomethane for a reduction of emissions of up to 121% and will be used for connections between the hubs located on national and international territory.
With 124 existing CNG trucks from Scania, Reiter Log ordered an additional 124 of the same kind. It all started in 2021, when the carrier purchased the first batch of vehicles powered by CNG and bio-CNG.

These buses are part of a much bigger and more ambitious project that, starting from the beginning of 2022, has seen the gradual introduction into Arriva Italia’s fleet of about 50 new natural gas vehicles, with the aim of reaching 200 by the beginning of 2024, according to the company, which also plans to use biomethane to power its fleet.
Coca-Cola Kwanza, a Tanzanian subsidiary of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa, received its first CNG truck from Scania Tanzania to help it transition to a more economical, low-emission transport system. Coca-Cola Kwanza already completed a pilot project to test the truck and, according to this study, it is expected to reduce 27% of their operational costs on every trip.
The initiative is part of the city’s commitment to the energy transition and the decarbonization of public transport. The bus will contribute to the reduction of 1,083 tons of CO2 in Bogotá. This is a comprehensive project that, in addition to the bus, includes the production of low-emission hydrogen, a compression and storage system and a service station.
The “Zero Emission Groupage” is an innovative and scalable transport service that will start between Milan and Rome. It is the first complete groupage line, from the first to the last mile, to be structured with a view to zeroing emissions. This is made possible by the use of vehicles powered by clean energy, including biomethane.
Over a period of three years, the company will be acquiring a total of 540 NGVs, to be delivered in batches of 180 units per year. This is a major step in the International Breweries’ commitment to reducing their carbon footprint, improving their environmental sustainability, and contributing to the development of Nigeria to reach net zero emissions by 2060.
