Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), IVECO (a brand of CNH Industrial) and ENGIE (Global Energy Player) are broadly collaborating to promote natural gas vehicles and infrastructure in Europe. Transportation is responsible for 22% of CO 2 emissions in the world (and even 30% in Europe); 95% of the energy consumed by this sector comes from oil.
