Lannutti Group, an Italian transport and logistics company, has ordered 1,000 new Volvo FH trucks with the latest fuel saving technology, I-Save. Lannutti Group operates in eight European countries with a fleet of 1,800 trucks. Its decision to invest in 1,000 new Volvo FH trucks was made after a comprehensive year-long fuel test, where the new Volvo FH equipped with I-Save was compared with other trucks in a mixed fleet. The result was a staggering fuel reduction of 10 per cent compared to an equivalent standard truck. The company sees the potential to reduce its fuel consumption by 10 per cent as well as lower CO2 emissions. The I-Save version of the Volvo FH combines an extra fuel-efficient engine with fuel-saving features, which reduce fuel consumption in long-haul operations – without compromising drivability. The order of 1,000 Volvo FH with I- Save will be delivered to Lannutti during 2021 and 2022. They are also equipped with additional safety features, such as Lane Changing Support and Driver Alert Support, which help avoid accidents. Apart from reliability, the most important factors for us are to keep the weight of the truck as low as possible to allow for a high payload and keep the fuel consumption to a minimum. After the positive test period, we decided that all new Volvo trucks should be I-Save trucks. Valter Lannutti, CEO, Lannutti Group We have a long and trusting business relationship with Lannutti Group and I am really proud that they put their trust in Volvo and that they confirm the outstanding fuel performance our I-Save trucks deliver.
