The company is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of urban logistics in line with goals set by major European cities.

Stralis Natural Power tractors use a combination of liquified and compressed natural gas (LNG/CNG) to generate lower NOx emissions than the Euro VI standard and reduce noise in densely populated areas.

XPO’s investment will expand its natural gas fleet in France to 170 tractors, with more than 20 additional LNG/CNG vehicles operating in the UK, Spain and Portugal.

“Our ongoing investments in alternative fuel technologies are an important part of our strategy as a sustainable business,” said XPO Logistics president, Troy Cooper.
