IVECO delivers 50 CNG buses to Abidjan’s transit provider SOTRA

Iveco Bus will supply 50 Crealis buses which run on Compressed Natural Gas and are 18 meters in length to the city of Abidjan’s transit provider Société des transports Abidjanais (SOTRA). These models are said to be the first High Service Level Bus to be delivered to the African continent and will be deployed to help reduce emissions and noise levels. Iveco will also deliver 400 Crossway Low Entry buses that are 12 meters in length, which will almost double SOTRA’s fleet.

    An analysis by the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland of the emission targets from 159 countries indicates that, although nearly all the world’s countries have announced targets for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, more ambitious emission reductions are needed in order to limit global warming to two degrees. In addition, developing countries have recently joined the effort to slow down climate change by setting targets for reducing emissions. However, despite those targets, VTT says emissi

    January 31, 2017
    Current and foreseeable policies to mitigate carbon-dioxide (CO₂) emissions from global transport activity will not suffice to achieve the international community’s climate ambitions, according to a new study published by the International Transport Forum (ITF). Continued strong growth in demand for mobility means that even in the most optimistic scenario, transport CO₂ emissions in 2050 will still be at 2015 levels of around 7.5 giga-tonnes, according to projections published in the ITF Transport Outlook 2
