BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions and IVECO, through their joint venture CNH Industrial Capital Europe, will take part to a European project that aims at supporting the development of BioLNG energy for transport across Europe.
The project signature ceremony took place on December 6 during the COP 24 in Katowice, Poland.
The European Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) announced, with the signature of the BioLNG Euronet Project, a commitment to support the transition from Diesel to LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) in the European transport Market in order to contribute to the European goal of 60% CO2 reduction by 2030.
The BioLNG Euronet Project aims at creating a 400 km pan-European transport road from southern Spain to eastern Poland via France, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany by building a network of LNG refueling sites across Europe and offering competitive financing and trucking solutions to reduce the cost of a LNG truck investment.
CNH Industrial Capital Europe will offer competitive financing solutions reducing the cost of IVECO trucks with a subsidy from the EU Commission to partially compensate for price difference between Diesel and LNG truck, up to a maximum of €6000.

Pierre Lahutte, IVECO Brand President, said: “This project opens the possibility for a seamless transition to a circular economy approach based on generating energy from waste. This makes even negative GHG emissions and carbon sequestration possible. The project’s funding will enable us to help our customers convert their fleets to LNG through competitive IVECO Capital finance & leasing plans, increasing the number of natural gas vehicles on European roads and making progress towards a sustainable transport industry.”
Charlotte Dennery, CEO of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, said: “As part of its 2020 development plan, BNP Paribas clearly indicated its will to strengthen its commitment to the energy transition and the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. As the Group’s specialized entity in equipment finance, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions is a natural partner to encourage companies to promote responsible mobility.”
