Series long haul trucks IVECO Stralis NP won the competition for the right to become truck of the year with low-emission Commercial Fleet Awards 2017 (the contest was held in English Basildon). This title confirms the company's commitment to IVECO by the use of technologies that promote sustainable development, and its strong market position as a supplier of heavy trucks to natural gas.

The expert jury of Commercial Fleet Awards ceremony, commented on his choice: "IVECO was ready to go his own way and achieved success in creating a vehicle that significantly reduces emissions such as CO₂ and NO_x. The use of compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas LNG – was a breakthrough in cargo transportation over long distances, which marks an important step forward in the use of alternative fuel in this segment of transport."

Pierre Louth, brand President of IVECO said: "it's Nice to see that technological and market leadership IVECO in the development based on natural gas, gets the recognition it deserves. This victory is another confirmation that natural gas is the sustainable future of transport, as well as proven technology that is available to customers today. Truck IVECO Stralis NP – very powerful heavy truck that was recently installed our new engine Cursor 13 with a power of 460 HP, and now he still is ideal for the most difficult long-haul".

The new engine develops a torque of up to 2000 N·m and packaged with a 12-speed automatic gearbox Hi-Tronix, which provides additional comfort and throttle response. This flagship model complements the already known modification Stralis 400 NP. Both models are available in three versions: for CNG (CNG), the combination of LNG (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), or with two tanks for LNG, which provides the mileage to 1600 km.
