With its stunning cabin design, highlighted by a prominent grille, angular headlamps and clever front bumper integration, IVECO says the S-WAY delivers contemporary aesthetics that are striking, while under the skin, models feature the latest in European technology including advanced Euro 6 (Step E) engines matched to market-leading ZF automated manual transmissions.
The S-WAY launch completes IVECO Australia’s transition to a full importer and distributor of commercial vehicles, with the model joining its European-produced light and medium duty stablemates, the Daily and Eurocargo, along with its extensive off-highway line-up which incorporates Daily 4x4, Eurocargo 4x4, T-WAY and ASTRA.
IVECO Trucks Australia says the transition to a fully imported model range helps streamline the company’s operations and carries considerable benefits for the brand and its customers, including allowing IVECO ANZ to closely align model introductions with IVECO Europe, bringing the latest technology and innovation to local markets faster.
But while the S-WAY ushers in a new era for IVECO as an exclusive European manufacturer, the model – along with the broader IVECO line-up – still has strong connections with Australia, with considerable input being provided by IVECO Australia engineers during development to make the range fit-for-task for Australian and New Zealand road transport applications and conditions.
Local engineering and validation teams have played a major role in trialling the range over the past 18 months, with test vehicles amassing thousands of kilometres in a variety of real-world operating environments at full GVM. As a result of this input, S-WAY models will feature several specifications and configurations exclusive to our market including a B-Double variant.
The S-WAY range comprises both rigid (6x2, 6x4 and 8x4 – with load-share front suspension) and prime mover (4x2 and 6x4) variants with GVM and GCMs for the new range spanning from 18,200kg to 27,600kg (GVM), and from 50,000kg to 70,000kg (GCM) for prime movers and 27,600kg (GVM) and 70,000kg (GCM) for selected rigids (13-litre 6x4 and 8x4 models).
