Iveco-O2

The initiative will bring about a small change in temperature of the liquid refrigerant used in Iveco’s office air conditioning systems throughout Europe. A small sacrifice will be made by employees in working in ambient temperatures 1°C higher throughout the summer, yet still remaining at optimum levels for health and comfort.

The implementation of this simple eco-sustainable behaviour actually has a great impact on the environment: according to an estimate carried out on 14 sites, the initiative will result in energy savings that will prevent the emission of 423 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. The Iveco-O2 campaign also provides employees with a handbook, distributed through the corporate portal, that indicates every-day conduct and hints designed to avoid waste in the offices, demonstrating the active and responsible involvement of people working for Iveco.

Iveco Driver Training: Driving for Economy by Iveco

Having always been particularly attentive to the growing need for products and services combining respect for the environment, such as efficiency and productivity, contributing to a sustainable mobility, Iveco now offers trucking professionals a driving course specifically focused on economy driving. The intention is to transfer its know-how to the customer to make driving a Stralis more efficient, economic and ecological.

The courses, called "Iveco Driver Training", intended for all those drivers who wish to deepen their knowledge about using Iveco Stralis and optimize their driving style. The training sessions are held mainly in the Iveco headquarters in Turin, but can also be provided at the local Iveco dealer or directly at the driver’s company facility. Each course includes a theoretical and a practical component, but certainly the strong point of the course is the highly professional and specialised staff dedicated to training. Trainers, in fact, come exclusively from the company, considered a fundamental choice by Iveco, along with specialised Demo Drivers, are able to impart to trainees, their wealth of experience in order to optimise the use of devices on board and to get the very best from their Stralis. The aim of this course is to improve the ability of each driver in the overall management of the vehicle and reduce fuel consumption while increasing road safety and the environment.

The course in detail, comprises the following: Product characteristics; Regulatory aspects and technological evolution, correct use of on-board devices, economic driving techniques, active and passive safety, and economical and safe driving tips.
 
The activity of training in economical driving, which includes the involvement of drivers, both Italian and foreign, and will gradually extend throughout Europe, is another piece of that particular policy attention to the environment and customer needs. Iveco has set itself the ambitious goal to train its customers in order that they are able to drive their vehicles, so as to reduce operating costs and at the same time making Europe’s roadways safer and greener. Given that the consumption of fuel amounts, on average, to around 30% of the total overhead costs of a transport company, and that driving style can affect fuel economy by up to 12%, the investment in training has a potential immediate return and makes a further important contribution in an extremely positive way towards the essential goal called sustainable mobility.

Iveco: 360° commitment to environmental protection

The company's commitment to environmental protection is expressed at all levels in the life cycle of its products from the selection of raw materials to production methods, the characteristics and performance of vehicles and their recyclability at the end of their useful lives. Satisfying the growing need for mobility, ensuring at the same time a reducing environmental and social impact of its vehicles represents for Iveco a binding choice. Witness the full range of products with low environmental impact, aimed at reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Moreover, Iveco introduced vehicles compliant with Euro V exhaust emission four year ahead of the mandatory introduction date of October 2009

Today Iveco is already working on solutions that will be required for Euro VI, with the aim, once again, of making compliant products available in advance of the mandatory introduction date for the benefit of the environment and customers. In particular, Iveco has homologated EEV (Enhanced Environmentally Friendly Vehicle) Diesel engines, a step beyond the minimum legal requirements, for each range of vehicles and is by far the European leader in the field of vehicles powered by natural gas with exhaust emissions already at the levels required by future Euro VI regulations, entering in force in 2014.
