Vulcan at the center of transport sector decarbonization. Important synergy with IVECO, Koster and AB Energy

San Nazzaro Sesia (NO), May 23, 2025

A big step toward a more sustainable future for the transportation sector was taken today in San Nazzaro Sesia (NO) with the inauguration of the new biomethane plant of Koster, a leading company in environmental management and energy production from renewable sources.

The event was attended by key figures in the industry-Angelo Baronchelli, president of AB; Andrea Bosi, key account manager of Vulcan; Roberto Savoini, sole director of Borgo Agnello S.p.A.; and Siro Fabbri, IVECO Alternative Traction Italy market manager.

Vulcan plays a key role in this virtuous synergy, thanks to the circuit of the VCARD, the fuel card intended to improve the management and supply of LNG, CNG but especially BIOGNL even at the Koster outlet.

Through VCARD’s LNG corrid or network, Vulcan aims to facilitate the adoption of sustainable fuels such as BIOGNL by ensuring high fleet management systems and access to a growing corridor.

At Vulcan, we look at BIOGNL as a key pillar in the green transition of the heavy-duty transportation sector, said Andrea Bosi, Vulcan’s key account manager. It offers a proven and significant reduction in emissions with high performance and range.

The strategic partnership with IVECO enhances this vision, combining advanced vehicle technology and sustainable fuel supply. We strongly believe that BIOGNL is a crucial bridge to a zero-emission future in logistics and heavy transport.

To mark the occasion, IVECO delivered six new CNG-powered S-Way vehicles to LOGTER, the Koster Group company specializing in environmental logistics: four LNG-powered and two CNG-powered. A strategic move toward an environmentally friendly fleet, taking advantage of biomethane produced directly from the Koster plant.

The Koster plant is a virtuous example of circular economy: the FORSU (organic fraction of municipal solid waste) and sludge are transformed into biomethane using AB’s BIOCH4NGE® technology. This innovative process not only drastically reduces emissions, but also enhances the value of organic waste, turning it into a valuable resource for sustainable mobility.

This event testifies to the strength of collaboration among different industry entities to achieve common goals of decarbonization and sustainability in logistics transportation.

Synergy between different skills and technologies proves to be a crucial element in accelerating the transition to a low-emission future.
