Iveco

Iveco (derived from “Industrial Vehicles Corporation") is an auto-group from Italy, producing civil trucks and buses, as well as special and military vehicles. The main office is located in Turin. The auto-group was set up in 1974 as a result of the incorporation of the subdivisions of Fiat Industrial Vehicles (Turin, Italy), OM (Brescia, Italy), Lancia Special Vehicles (Bolzano, Italy), Unic (Trappes, France) and Magirus-Deutz (Ulm, Germany). The Iveco Daily truck with the gross weight of 2,9-4,9 tons, released in 1978, became the first result of the cooperation. Afterwards this truck came into mass production. During the entire period of its existence the company has managed to diversify the range of the production, so it started to manufacture LCVs and medium duty trucks, as well as freight trucks and diesel power plants. Besides, Iveco entered the market of military and special vehicles. Nowadays Iveco is an international corporation, possessing 49 plants and an advanced dealer network in 19 countries. The trucks are assembled under license in the following states: Argentine, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Lybia, Venezuela, Chile, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Zaire, Vietnam, China and Russia. Moreover, the company owns such brands as Iveco, Iveco Motors, Iveco Magirus, Astra, Seddon Atkinson and Irisbus.

Iveco model range and car models

The TurboStar tractor unit has been a top-of-the-range of trucks since 1984, which gained its popularity in Italy. In the end of the 80s the design, the gearbox and the engine of Iveco Daily were upgraded.

A new series of EURO trucks appears in the 90s: such as EuroCargo, EuroTech, EuroTrakker and EuroStar.

In 1998 these models started to be fitted with Cursor 8 and Cursor 10 engines with the common rail injection technology.

So, in 1996 Iveco purchases a fire-fighting subdivision Carniva S.A. as a result of the expansion of its production segment.

In 2003 a new truck Stralis with an Active Space cabin was introduced. Soon a new Trakker was released, too.

Realizing the ecological challenges and requirements, Iveco introduced a new Ecostralis in 2010 which was intended to decrease carbon dioxide emissions. New Daily and Stralis models have been and are produced in accordance with this eco-friendliness principle.

Iveco Commercial and Industrial Vehicle Subdivision produces heavy-duty, medium-duty and light-duty trucks for long-distance, regional and off-road transportations. The GVW varies from 2,8 to 44 tons. The trucks are equipped with gas engines, as well as hybrid and electric motor drives.
