The Naturgy Foundation Energytruck will travel around different Andalusian cities in summer
The Energytruck, a large sustainable truck designed by the Naturgy Foundation, offers a visual and interactive introduction to what energy is and how we can consume it responsibly.
The Naturgy Foundation’s travelling exhibition about energy is coming to different towns in the region of Andalusia this week.

Since January 2016, the Energytruck has travelled over 50,733 kilometres to visit more than 281 municipalities throughout Spain and inform the general public about energy, the environment and industrial heritage in a fun and interactive way through educational activities run by specialist educators. Over 164,698 people have visited the exhibition, including 66,192 primary, secondary and VET students. The remaining 98,506 visited the exhibition through a number of different social groups or on open days.
A large sustainable truck with extensive technological equipment
The truck is equipped with a natural gas twin engine that produces between 15% and 20% less CO2 than conventional diesel engines. Through a dual system and a fuel consumption of approximately 70% diesel and 30% compressed natural gas, the vehicle contributes to improved air quality by reducing PM emissions by 39% and NOx emissions by 30%, compared to a diesel-only vehicle.
The 70-square-metre mobile exhibition boasts a wide range of technological equipment, including audio-visual, interactive and multimedia content, as well as information panels. Visitors will be able to experiment with the content through practical activities centred around them. The project also includes workshops and educational activities led by specialist educators to spread knowledge of science and technology. The activities, which are free, are suitable for all ages and adapted for people with disabilities.
