An IVECO Stralis NP (Natural Power) 460hp truck from the UK has completed what is believed to be the longest ever journey by road on a single fill of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) to demonstrate the suitability of natural gas-powered vehicles for domestic and European road transport.

The Stralis NP set off from London and, after the short sea crossing from Dover to Calais, completed the 1,728km road journey to Madrid without needing to refuel - exceeding the vehicle’s official range of 1,600km to set a new distance record.

Another  IVECO 400 hp last year accomplished a similar feat completing a 1,347 km journey from John O’Groats to Land’s End in the UK on a single fill. 

With a record average consumption of LNG of only 22.6 kg for every 100 km. travelled, the new performance has also allowed an appreciable economic saving on the route carried out, of about 228 Euro, equivalent to 40% less versus Diesel.
