Iveco Truck 2010

[Terpsícore Deckelman]

Followingthe merger, the newly founded Iveco began rationalizing its product range, manufacturing plants, and sales network, while keeping the original brands. From 1975 to 1979, the Iveco range included 200 basic models and 600 versions spanning from 2.7 tons of GVW for light vehicles to over 40 tons for heavy vehicles, as well as buses and engines.[5][6] In 1977, the light- to medium-weight Iveco Zeta range was introduced, replacing the 20-year-old OM Lupetto. Integrating the Fiat-OM range with the Unic and Magirus lineups was completed by 1980.[7] IVECO moved in to work on increasing productivity and engine development.[7] In 1978, IVECO launched the first product in the range of IVECO-branded light vehicles, the Daily.[8]

From 1986, Iveco S.p.A. held a 52% stake in Iveco Ford Truck Ltd, a joint venture (and effectively a merger) with Ford of Europe's truck division. Ford plants took over production and sales of the major vehicles in the Iveco range and continued production of the Ford Cargo.[13] In the mid-1980s, Astra Veicoli Industriali, which produces dumpers and construction site/quarry vehicles in Piacenza, became part of Iveco Group.[14]

In 1990, the group purchased 60% control of Spanish industrial company ENASA, which owned the industrial vehicle builder Pegaso.[13] In the 1990s, the EuroCargo, EuroTech, EuroTrakker, and EuroStar vehicles represented a total facelift for the range.[13] The EuroCargo and the EuroTech were named "Truck of the Year" in 1992 and 1993, respectively, and for the first time, this recognition was awarded to the same manufacturer for two years in a row.[15] English company Seddon Atkinson was purchased in 1991 and brought its long heritage of special vehicles for the construction and refuse-collection industries.[16] That same year, the first TurboDaily assembly line was inaugurated at the Nanjing Motor Corporation in China.[17] In 1991, IVECO announced that they were withdrawing from the North American market at the end of the calendar year; they had been selling the midrange Iveco Z/Euro there since 1978.[18]

In 1992, Iveco took over the primary constructor of industrial vehicles in Australia to form Ital, originally called International Trucks Australia.[19] In 2000 it was renamed Iveco Trucks Australia Limited.[16] In 1996 firefighting activities in Germany were structured under the company Iveco Magirus Brandschutztechnik GmbH.[20] The following year, these activities were boosted by the arrival of an Austrian company, Lhr, which then became Lhr Magirus.[16]

In 1998, the Cursor 8 was launched, followed the next year by the Cursor 10, the first diesel engine with a variable-geometry turbine and the first common-rail diesel engine for heavy industrial vehicles.[20] The 125th anniversary of the presentation of the first Magirus ladder[21] was celebrated together with the delivery of the 5000th Magirus aerial ladder produced since the Second World War.[20]

In 2003, Iveco entirely bought out Irisbus, originally part of a joint venture with Renault.[22] In 2004, the Iveco Motors brand was introduced, which became an umbrella for the production of engines; the following year, it was incorporated into the newly founded Fiat Powertrain Technologies. At the end of 2004, an agreement was reached between Iveco and the Chinese company SAIC Motor to form SAIC Iveco Hongyan.[23]

On 1 January 2011, Fiat Industrial was formed, incorporating CNH, Iveco, and FPT Industrial.[24] In September of the same year, the Fiat Industrial Village was inaugurated in Turin, a multipurpose centre belonging to Fiat Industrial and created for the sales, assistance, and product presentation for the Iveco, New Holland, and FPT Industrial brands.[25]

On 11 November 2021, Iveco published the prospectus in order to split from CNH Industrial which will be operated as a publicly separated company named Iveco Group N.V.[26] After the completion of the demerger, on 1 January 2022 Iveco became a part of Iveco Group N.V., the parent company of the trucks and speciality vehicles, powertrain and related financial services businesses previously held by CNH Industrial.

Iveco has 27 production plants and 6 research centres located in 16 countries. Outside of Europe, the company operates in China, Russia, Australia (factory ceased production in June 2022), South Africa[28] and Latin America. All the plants have obtained ISO 9001-vision 2000 (quality management by process) and ISO 14000 (environmental management) certification.

Iveco engines from the Cursor and Tector ranges observe the Euro VI standards[29][unreliable source?] by adopting High Efficiency SCR (HI-eSCR) technology.[30][unreliable source?] This technology optimises the processes of exhaust combustion and after-treatment, reducing consumption and enabling achievement of greater efficiency in the conversion of NOx emissions.[31][unreliable source?]

A prototype of a heat pump system for electric and hybrid vehicles was installed on the Iveco Daily vehicle. The system cools or heats the passenger compartment by transferring low-temperature heat generated by the drive systems. At the same time, the control strategies minimise the energy demand in order to achieve a low impact on consumption.[44]

Iveco sponsored the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow, the Davis Cup in 1982, the Jacques Cousteau expeditions in the Amazon basin in 1983 and the Raid Pigafetta, during which the Iveco-Fiat 75 PC 4x4 was first to make a full circle of the globe.[46] Two new divisions were also formed: bus diesel engines and firefighting vehicles.[47] It also sponsored the first of two fights between Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns[48] and between Aaron Pryor and Alexis Arguello.[49]

In 2006, Iveco sponsored the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin with a fleet of 1,200 Irisbus buses.[50] The year after, Iveco became sponsor of the All Blacks, New Zealand's rugby team.[51] In 2009, Iveco became the truck and commercial vehicle supplier for the Moto GP,[52] together with the historical sponsorship to the Scuderia Ferrari.[53]

Iveco won the 2012 Dakar Rally with the Petronas De Rooy team and Dutch driver Gerard De Rooy, behind the wheel of an Iveco Powerstar. De Rooy was followed by drivers Stacey and Biasion behind the wheel of two Iveco Trakker Evolution 2 vehicles, equipped with an FPT Industrial C13 engine with over 900 hp.[54] De Rooy won the 2016 Dakar Rally for Iveco, whereas Janus van Kasteren won the 2023 Dakar Rally.

IvecoFull NameIVECO S.p.A.Country ItalyProductsTrucksFeaturesGamesEuro Truck Simulator 2ProductsTrucksIVECO S.p.A., an acronym for Industrial Vehicles Corporation, is an Italian industrial vehicle manufacturing company based in Torino, Italy, and entirely controlled by CNH Industrial Group.

Iveco designs and builds light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, quarry/construction site vehicles, city and intercity buses and special vehicles for applications such as firefighting, off-road missions, the military and civil defence. The name IVECO first appeared in 1975 after a merger of Italian, French and German brands.

As of update 1.49, the original Stralis can only be bought as a used truck in the used truck dealership. The table here shows the 2 different preconfigured customizable models available at Iveco truck dealers in ETS2.

Cuthbert is a big, blue, off-road expedition-truck, on an Iveco Daily 44 chassis. It was converted for us by Bocklet in Germany, based on their Dakar 630 model (see nice picture above ? ). He has certainly stood the test of time on the road!

In 2024 you find us finally (after 10 years of full-time overlanding around the world) back in Europe, doing a cold winter in Scandinavia. But it all started way back in December 2013. After 5 years working in Doha, Qatar, we went back to UK to spend January getting Cuthbert registered in UK and fitting him out with our kit. In Feb/Mar 2014 we did a short Europe trip to test the new truck, an exercise which would obviously not have been complete without a thorough checking of the heating and insulation with a bit of ski-time in the Alps.

This is us... successfully escaped from the real world... now over-landing full-time in 'Cuthbert the Truck'. Nothing too unusual about that... anyone can 'rough-it' out there... we decided to have a go at 'over-landing in a bit of comfort'. Hope you enjoy the story.

Hi guys! I am looking to buy an additional lorry and I really want to hear your opinions on Iveco (Stralis 460 - 2015).

I never owned an Iveco before, focusing only on DAF. I heard from other operators that Iveco is a hit or miss, some of them are reliable some are just problematic. Please feel free to share your experience with Iveco models from 2014-2017. Thanks x

The stereo shuts down completely when you switch off the truck and has to be turned on separately when you fire up the truck, bluetooth is ok, although takes a while to reconnect, speakers were a bit bass buzzy but thats probably down to age. The steps climbing in and out of the cab, are very slippy when wet, I have lovely bruise on my knee from where I clattered out the bugger at Southwaite services.

Unfortunately, it did have ABS issues, even after being in for repair and service midweek, looking like it could be something more serious than a sensor, and the engine management light came on, after being in the garage.

Plus (formerly Plus.ai), a leading global self-driving truck technology company, announced today that the company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with IVECO, a brand of CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI) and a pioneer in the commercialization and manufacturing of vehicles powered by alternative fuels, to jointly develop autonomous trucks that will be deployed across China, Europe, and other geographies.
