IVECO launches T-Way off-road range

Recently exhibited at the Brisbane Truck Show, the IVECO T-Way is purpose built to thrive in the most difficult conditions and to meet the rigours of the toughest off-road applications such as mining and exploration, forestry work, water cartage, agricultural spreading and tipper work.

The T-Way range boasts the hardcore off-road equipment of its predecessor, while introducing the latest Euro 6 (Step E) engine range, improved levels of comfort and refinement as well as a new cabin appearance that draws styling cues from the road-going S-Way range.

On offer across the T-Way line-up are 4x4, 6x6 and 8x4 configurations and GVM/GCMs of 20,500kg/44,000kg, 33,500kg/60,000kg and 41,000kg/60,000kg. Further boosting the model’s flexibility is a choice of four wheelbases ranging from 3800mm to 5820mm.

The new T-WAY range is available with four powerful Euro6 (Step E) engines. Standard in the T-Way AD 4x4 is IVECO’s Cursor 9, 8.7-litre six-cylinder powerplant producing 360hp (265kW) and torque of 1650Nm at just 925rpm. For those requiring additional power, the optional Euro6 Cursor 13 with its 12.9-lite displacement is also available. This engine produces 410hp (302kW) and 2100Nm of torque at 1000rpm.

In the T-Way AD 6x6 model, the Cursor 13 again features but in a higher state of tune, to produce 450hp (331kW) and 2200Nm of torque at 870rpm, while in the dual-steer T-Way AD 8x4, the Cursor 13 produces 510hp (375kW) and 2300Nm of torque from 900rpm.

Emission control on all engines comes courtesy of IVECO’s Hi-eSCR after-treatment with diesel oxydation catalyst, diesel particulate filter, selective catalytic reduction and clean up catalyst.

The Hi-Tronix AMT is specified in T-Way. Standard in the AD 4x4 is 12-speed, and if the AD 4x4 is selected with the optional larger 410hp engine, then it’s matched to the 16-speed Hi-Tronix AMT.

The 16-speed is standard on AD 6x6 and 8x4 models.

Building on the off-road prowess of its predecessor, T-Way features full-time drive systems in 4x4 and 6x6 variants, with drive to the rear axles in the 8x4 variant.

All vehicles are also equipped with hub reduction to all drive axles and front, centre and rear differential locks. The two-speed transfer case delivers excellent tractability in low range, allowing T-Way to overcome steep ascents and descents easily and safely.

In the new T-Way, superior off-road performance doesn’t come at the expense of safety. The range includes a host of active and passive safety features designed to make every journey – both off road and on road – as safe as possible for the driver, passengers and other road users.

AD 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles are equipped with a full air/Electronic Braking System (EBS) with Drum ABS and ASR (Anti-Skid Regulator) and hill holder, daytime running lights, LED headlights (with cornering fog lights), transmission intarder and engine brake, and a tough ECE-R29.03 certified cab. Buyers can also add to the safety equation by selecting the optional lane departure warning and tyre pressure monitoring.

The AD 8x4 variant offers the same safety benefits while opting for full disc brakes all round in lieu of drums.

T-Way’s aerodynamic design provides excellent vision out of the cabin, while specially designed and positioned side mirrors (motorised and heated) also assist out of cabin view.
Other benefits include a multi-piece steel front bumper (each component can be replaced individually if damaged) with foldable step and headlight protection grid.

Inside the cabin, the amenity and ergonomics of T-Way deliver a generational leap on the model it replaces. The driver is treated to a new 7” LCD HD touch screen display Infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth connectivity, smart phone mirroring, voice recognition and in-built satellite navigation by TomTom. The unit is also reverse and side camera compatible.

There’s also auto lights and wipers, and new integrated heating, ventilation and air conditioning system with ‘Eco-mode’.

Standard seating for driver and passenger is courtesy of air suspended, heated, three-way adjustable seats, with a third seat option also available to accommodate a second passenger.

The new IVECO T-Way is available for ordering now from IVECO Dealerships nationwide with a standard warranty of two years/500,000km/6000 engine hours. Extended warranties of up to five years are also available along with IVECO maintenance and repair contract options.
