Le plus récent modèle ne sacrifie pas la performance dans sa recherche de la carboneutralité
les émissions de ce camion sont de 90 % inférieures aux cibles de la Loi
les véhicules au gaz naturel ont "considérablement" plus d’attrait que les camions électriques, qui conviennent mieux aux livraisons sur de plus courtes distances.
