-Purchase contributes to reduction in harmful particulate and nitrogen oxide emissions
TNT N.V. has ordered 176 trucks fitted with Euro V engines for use in the Netherlands and the European road network. With the purchase of Euro V trucks, TNT aims to reduce the harmful effects of its fleet on people and the environment. TNT is one of the first companies in the Netherlands to opt for Euro V engines, placing it far ahead of the European environmental legislation, which will not come into effect until October 2009
The Euro V engine produces significantly fewer harmful emissions than the Euro III engine. The result is an 80% decrease in particulate emissions and 60% fewer nitrogen oxides. This reduction has a direct influence on air quality and, as a consequence, people's health. The first new trucks will be delivered next week. The purchase forms part of TNT’s Driving Clean programme.
