IVECO’s proven HI-SCR engine technology – which eliminates the need for Euro VI vehicles to make

periodic stops for forced regeneration – has led Navajo Leasing to add three new 18-tonne Eurocargo

rigids to its fleet, with a further order planned for later in 2020.

Supplied by IVECO Retail, the new arrivals increase IVECO’s share of the airport ground support

equipment specialist’s fleet to 80 per cent. The trucks will operate at London Heathrow, transporting

palletised air freight and containers between commercial aircraft and the cargo village.

Allan Gardner, CEO of Navajo Leasing, says: “The Eurocargo has consistently been a solid performer

for us and was always going to be my preferred choice of vehicle when we needed to expand the fleet.

HI-SCR has meant forced regeneration is now a thing of the past within our fleet, helping to increase

productivity levels and reduce fleet downtime.

“When using similar vehicles from other manufacturers, we used to lose between two to four hours

every week because of forced regeneration cycles. IVECO’s system has had such a positive impact.

that we’re planning to buy a further six Eurocargos later this year.”

IVECO’s patented HI-SCR technology is the only emission control system which does not change the combustion process – because it works through fresh air intake rather than exhaust gas recirculation.

This means the combustion temperature remains high and the percentage of particulate is reduced,

without the need for an active diesel particulate filter – eliminating the problems of forced regeneration

at source.

This solution also enables unrestricted access to sensitive environments such as airports and tunnels,

where high temperatures caused by active regeneration can pose a risk and result in application

restrictions for operators. What’s more, HI-SCR is a lightweight system helping to deliver savings in fuel consumption and using fewer components than rival technologies, reducing the need for

replacement parts.
