This mechanic is coupled to a new automatic gearbox with 16 speeds. With this combination of engine and change the Z Truck is able to reach the 2,200 km of autonomy. This has been possible thanks to two LNG tanks with a total capacity of 1,200 litres.
In addition to the use of this fuel, the new Z Truck is equipped with pneumatic of low friction. The new Michelin incorporate sensors for pressure, temperature and wear. The union of both elements allows that the CO2 emissions of the new Iveco truck are almost nil.
