Iveco Eurocargo

Features & Benefits

Efficiency

• Diesel fuel consumption reduced. The Iveco Eurocargo: another step on the road to improving truck efficiency. The latest generation Tector engines use low-viscosity engine oil which reduces friction, increases performances and extends the maintenance intervals. Other special features have been introduced across the entire engine range; these features are particularly important on high-traffic missions where competitiveness depends on the cost of ownership:
• - the electronically controlled two-speed electromagnetic fan clutch which is engaged or disengaged according to the cooling requirements
• - the EcoSwitch (available on automated gearboxes) reprogrammes the gear change logic for maximum truck efficiency. When switched on by the driver, the EcoSwitch feature activates the speed limiter, deactivates the kick-down function, and only authorises automatic gear changes.
• These devices (and the use of a new, low-viscosity rear axle oil) mean the Iveco Eurocargo reduces diesel fuel consumption.

Performance

• Greater flexibility, lower consumption
• The Iveco Eurocargo is available in 220hp,240hp,160hp and 180hp. The torque and power output has been optimised to suit the typical operating conditions of all missions.
• Thanks to the new pistons, new injectors and the faster response of the new turbocharger, the compression ratio has risen from 17:1 to 18:I, improving the torque output over 1200 rpm by approximately 8%.
• All this helps to significantly lower consumption in the urban cycle and during acceleration. The engines are mated to manual gearbox (6- or 9- speed), 6-speed automated or automatic gearboxes with torque converter.

Reliability

• The Eurocargo truck appeals to customers because of its reliability and robustness: two qualities which stem from the chassis, derived from heavy haulage and designed to be durable and to withstand higher stresses (e.g. an unbalanced load or a sudden change of direction).
• To adapt to any type of mission, the Iveco Eurocargo offers many different types of suspension: parabolic, semi-elliptical leaf spring and air suspensions. Air suspensions are controlled by an ECAS (Electronically Controlled Air Suspension) system, which guarantees a constant vehicle position regardless of the load level. They can be fitted to the rear axle or to both axles.
• The front and rear axles and braking system guarantee the reliability of the mechanical characteristics over time. All 4x2 versions are equipped with disc brakes as standard.

Versatility

• Three different cab types to satify the requirements of every job
• From deliveries to construction, refrigerated transport to urban services, the Eurocargo truck has graduated in versatility in its category – and is also the easiest to body. Made from high-yield-strength steel, the chassis frame can accommodate body lengths of up to 10,175 mm; the side members are parallel along the entire length and are pre-configured to simplify assembly of the superstructure.
• The Iveco Eurocargo offers three different cab types: their versatility satisfies the requirements of every job:
• - The day cab offers the best balance between overall body width and length, and is best suited to daily work in all regions!
• - The sleeper cab is available in a standard or high roof version; this is designed to provide overnight accommodation and is equipped with one or two bunks. Two illuminated boxes (accessible from both inside and outside) provide 260 litres of additional space for the efficient storage of bags or tools. The outer door can be opened using an electric control.
• - The crew cab (with standard roof) is designed to transport the whole crew plus tools and equipment. It can accommodate six passengers in addition to the driver, and is particularly well suited for use in construction and fire prevention services.
