In one of Volvo Trucks’ biggest deals ever, a whopping 1,500 FH Aero trucks have been ordered by Italian transport and logistics company Lannutti Group as it gears up to renew its fleet of long-haul trucks.
Lannutti Group, headquartered in Italy, operates a fleet of more than 2,500 trucks on a 24/7 basis across eight European countries. As part of its fleet renewal program, Lannutti signed the order for 1,500 Volvo FH Aero trucks all 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,” said CEO at Lannutti Group, Valter Lannutti.
“In addition to the fuel saving I-Save technology already 100% 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 majority of the trucks ordered by Lannutti will be powered by HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), a fuel that can be produced from waste products, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90 percent.
“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”, said President at 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.”
