our vehicles with alternative fuels such as bio-LNG, and putting the driver and the customer at the centre of our technological and design development. With the Iveco Z Truck and its 29 patents, we are defining where our efforts could lead us in the future: a vehicle with a human dimension, designed to accommodate comfortably and safely the work and leisure activities of the driver, adapting each time to his needs. We are defining a future of long-haul freight transport that is totally sustainable – a vehicle that has zero impact on its environment, with zero emissions and zero accidents.”
The Iveco Z truck features a new generation LNG engine running on Bio-methane, which is derived from refined biogas. This fuel, which plays a key role in CNH Industrial’s quest to develop sustain- able transport modes on its path to Zero emissions, ensures low CO2 and ultra-low PM emission.
This LNG-fuelled engine develops 460 hp and 2,000 Nm torque, and features a 16-gear automated transmission with Powershift in the upper gears.
Iveco has partnered with industry giants to chase that Zero emis- sions target. Petronas Lubricants International has been working with Iveco with its Urania low viscosity engine oils: Michelin has provided its X-Line Energy, which with its AAA rating in rolling resis- tance is claimed to save up to one litre of fuel per 100km when used in long distance convoys. The tyres also feature in the connectivity technology with an embedded RFID that records the tyre’s history and can communicate with the driver and fleet manager.
Every step has been taken with this Z Truck to improve efficiency. New fuel tanks built using multi-layer insulation have been built to fit the available space and as a consequence the 1200litre gas capac- ity gives the Z Truck 60 per cent more range than the current Stralis NP, more even than a diesel vehicle.
On the safety front, the Z Truck is equipped with a full set of sensors that detect obstacles and help avoid accidents. They also enhance the possibility of autonomous driving. The driver also benefits from a heads up display of all truck func-
tions that show on the truck’s wind- screen.
The creature comforts of the cab in- clude a slide out doorway and steps that make access to the cab as sim- ple as climbing a few stairs. No more hauling up the side of the cab to gain access. Internally, the driver oper- ates from an air conditioned “bubble” that avoids the blasting air draughts of conventional systems. His living accommodation can be extended by 50cm to give a little extra comfort to access the bed, sink, kitchen, fridge and entertainment wall.
Iveco New Stralis TCO2 Champion Achieves TUV Certificates
The new Iveco New Stralis XP achieved TÜV SÜD certification of an 11.2% per cent reduction in fuel con- sumption, which, according to Iveco, accounts for more than 40 per cent
的长途货运的未来，依维柯Z卡车以零环境影响、零排 放和零事故而著称。”
依维柯Z卡车搭载了新一代液化天然气发动机，以沼气 精制获得的生物甲烷为燃料。这种燃料确保减少CO2排 放，极大降低颗粒物排放，对凯斯纽荷兰工业集团开 发的可持续运输模式以实现零排放的目标，发挥着关 键作用。
这款液化天然气发动机拥有460马力和2000牛•米扭矩， 配有一个16档自动变速器，其中高档位为动力换档。
依维柯致力于在液化天然气技术领域不断创新和改进， 这一做法也得到了国油润滑油国际(Petronas Lubri- cants International)的积极响应，后者大力支持依 维柯Z卡车的开发。实际上，液化天然气配合国油Ura- nia低粘度发动机油使用，进一步改善了燃油效率，帮 助实现了零排放的目标。
Z卡车采取了每一个能够改善效率的步骤。它新的燃料 缸使用了全新的多层绝热(MLI)反射箔系统，以优化空 间使用。结果是拥有1200升的总容量，比新 Stralis NP 高 60%，甚至优于柴油车型。
在安全方面，Z卡车备有整套的传感器，能够察觉障碍 和协助避免事故。他们也加强了自动驾驶的可能性。 驾驶人可从投影在智能挡风玻璃上的卡车功能信息中 获利。
驾驶室的舒适性包括隐藏式的车门，打开车门时滑门 会开启，出现楼梯，只需要爬个几步，就能够轻易进 出驾驶室。在它的内部，驾驶员将在一个如同“恒温 气泡”里驾驶，避免受到传统系统的气流扰动。后部 活动壁自动向后滑动，能使内部增长50cm，增大生活 空间，使驾驶员能够舒适地穿梭于折叠床、厨房、冰 箱及娱乐墙之间。
