O fficial premiere of the New Stralis, the TCO 2 Champion  

Centre-stage on the Iveco stand will be the New Stralis, which makes its debut to the international public following an official presentation last June in Madrid. The New Stralis introduces a completely new driveline and, with the best in reliability and efficiency, delivers leading-edge low Total Cost of Operation (TCO), and CO 2 reduction.  

T h e three-vehicle range was developed around customer missions, and meets all the requirements of the on-road heavy transportation sector: the New Stralis was designed to offer the best solution for regional and short-range missions, including the transportation of hazardous goods, where it maintains the unique  advantage provided by the exclusive HI-SCR after-treatment system. The New Stralis XP was developed for the demands of the international long-haul transport business, and is packed with innovative fuel-saving features and new services to maximise uptime and fuel efficiency. The most reliable and fuel-efficient truck on the market, designed to maximise reliability and reduce CO 2 a nd TCO, it delivers fuel savings of up to 11%, while the new-generation services can add further savings of up to 3%, resulting in an impressive 5.6% reduction in TCO in long-haul missions.

T h e revolutionary New Stralis NP (Natural Power), which runs on CNG and LNG, is the most sustainable international transport truck ever, and a real breakthrough in the gas truck industry. It is the only natural gas truck to offer the power rating, driving comfort and fuel autonomy to suit long-distance haulage missions. A new engine that delivers 400 hp and 1,700 Nm torque - equal to its diesel equivalent - is coupled with an automated transmission. The improvementscontribute to a 3% reduction in TCO compared to the previous model, which already had fuel pump costs up to 40% lower than its diesel equivalent. It is the first true long-haul gas truck in the market that offers an alternative to diesel vehicles.

Also on the stand will be three “Emotional Trucks”: versions of the New Stralis XP dedicated to Ferrari, Dakar Team Petronas De Rooy Iveco and Schwabentruck, as a special tribute to Iveco’s great partnerships with big names from the world of sports. The vehicles’ liveries were designed and produced by the CNH Industrial Design Team, which devoted particular attention to the personalisation of the vehicles with the colours and graphics of the partnership they are dedicated to.

This vehicle is an example of how Iveco puts the driver at the core of its design process, improving productivity and providing absolute driving pleasure.

New Eurocargo, “The truck the city likes”, in new full air suspended and CNG versions  

Known as “The truck the city likes”, the New Eurocargo range was crowned “International Truck of the Year 2016”. On its stand, Iveco will introduce a new Euro VI Step C compliant ML160 (16t) in a new full air suspended version, and display the eco-sustainable Natural Power version, which runs on compressed natural gas (CNG).

T h e New Eurocargo ML160 Full Air version complies with Euro VI Step C regulations, which come into force on December 31 2016, thanks to Iveco’s patented HI-SCR -only technology with passive Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). It is the only vehicle in its class (6-19 tonnes) to adopt a single anti-emission system, rather than relying on exhaust gas recirculation. HI-SCR is simple, reliable and lightweight. Most  importantly, it regenerates the DPF without requiring vehicle downtime or any intervention by the driver.

T h e New Eurocargo ML160 Full Air version on display features pneumatic suspension on the front and rear axle, nowavailable with a payload increased by 1 tonne . The constant chassis height and horizontal loading bed ensure a furtherimprovement in safety, even when the load is not distributed evenly. The reduction in vibration in transport ensures the driver travels in comfort, and the goods are well cared for. The possibility of modifying ground clearance ensures high versatility on approach to loading and unloading docks of varying heights, and the capability of taking on different ramp gradients.

The New Eurocargo Natural Power , which runs on CNG, will also be present on the Iveco stand. It is particularly at home in major cities thanks to its low emissions and quiet operation .

A ne w engine delivers 204 hp maximum power at 2,700 rpm, with torque of 750 Nm from 1,400 to 1,800 rpm – 100 Nm more than its predecessor. True to Iveco’s commitment to sustainability, it already meets Euro VI Step C emissions standards, which will come into force at the end of the year, and can run on bio-methane derived from biomass or organic waste. It is also an exceptionally quiet vehicle, at 3 dB quieter than diesel, as a result of its engine technologies.

T hi s also means that the New Eurocargo Natural Power is allowed to drive in restricted traffic zones, and is ideal for night-time work. The New Eurocargo NP has a range autonomy of up to 400 km , thus meeting the requirements of a variety of missions from multi-drop urban distribution to municipality tasks.
