Iveco says its natural gas engines are up to 50% quieter than their diesel equivalents, making them ideal for urban and night delivery work.  In the UK the firm offers 28 natural gas powered EcoDaily models from 3.5 to 7 tonnes, Eurocargo trucks from 12 to 16 tonnes and Stralis trucks from 19 to 34 tonnes.  Iveco believes that increasing pressure to keep delivery costs down will make night-time deliveries more attractive.  Lower traffic at night makes for more predictable, quicker and cheaper delivery runs, particularly in urban and suburban area.  Demonstrably quieter trucks may help persuade local authorities to relax night delivery bans.
