Leading Italian logistics company Lannutti, operating in eight European countries and relying on a fleet of about 2,500 trucks, has signed record order of 1,500 Volvo FH Aero trucks. Volvo was then chosen by Lannutti to renew a big part of its fleet. The trucks will be delivered by the end of next year, stated Volvo.

The new Volvo trucks are all equipped with Volvo’s new Camera Monitor System – a new feature that replaces regular mirrors, improving aerodynamics and safety. Apparently, 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.

Statements from Lannutti and Volvo Trucks

“The fleet renewal principle for us at Lannutti Group is to prioritize low emission vehicles while offering a high level of comfort and safety to our drivers, protecting them and all the other road users. 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” said Valter Lannutti, CEO at Lannutti Group.

“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”, added Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. “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”.
