Volvo Trucks has delivered one of its biggest orders ever, handing over 1500 Volvo FH Aero trucks to Italian transport business Lannutti Group.
The long haul trucks, which will be delivered across 2024 and 2025, will add to Lannutti’s already 2500 truck strong fleet, which it operates in eight European countries.
Every truck will be equipped with Volvo’s new Camera Monitor System — a new feature that replaces regular mirrors, improving aerodynamics and safety.
“The fleet renewal principle for us at Lannutti Group is to prioritise low emission vehicles while offering a high level of comfort and safety to our drivers, protecting them and all the other road users,” says Lannutti Group CEO Valter Lannutti.
“In addition to the fuel saving I-Save technology already 100 per cent adopted in the fleet we are now aiming to grasp the benefits coming from the Camera Monitor System and improved aerodynamic design. This partnership with Volvo will allow us to continue our journey towards zero emissions.”
The new trucks delivered to Lannutti will be majority powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), in a massive sustainability move for the transport business.
Volvo says that these trucks will help to reduce the fleet’s CO2 emissions by as much as 90 per cent.
“This deal makes me so proud as it shows the trust and commitment that Lannutti has with Volvo Trucks as a long-lasting business partner,” says president of Volvo Trucks Roger Alm.
“This really is proof that we have done the right thing with the new Volvo FH Aero. It not only supports our customers in reducing fuel costs and CO2 emissions, but it is also one of the safest truck models for their drivers to operate.”
