Iveco has equipped the T-Way
with its reliable 13-litre Cursor 13 engine, which develops up to 510hp
– exceeding the Trakker’s performance by 10hp. For lighter-weight configurations, it is also available with the Cursor 9 engine.
The engines are coupled with the proven 12- and 16-speed Hi-Tronix automated gearbox, which now also features new functions specifically intended for off-road mobility. They include a Hill Holder function to help departure on steep slopes, Rocking Mode to help recover traction in slippery conditions, and Creep Mode for ultra-low speed control at idle. For the on-road sections of the mission, the Iveco Hi-Cruise system further enhances the transmission’s efficiency. It includes predictive gear shifting, predictive cruise control and an eco-roll function that uses the vehicle’s inertia when travelling downhill.

veco’s tagline for its online launch of its new T-Way range was ‘treat it bad’, which tells you all you need to know
T for Tough
The T-Way has been designed to
offer a combination of off-road performance, robustness and torsional rigidity, the company says. It carries over from its predecessors a high- resistance steel chassis with a 10mm thick frame, and with a Rail Bending Moment at the top of the segment at 177kNm. The front axle has a maximum capacity of up to nine tonnes. Hub reduction on the rear axle is standard to maximise strength and performance. The new heavy-duty rear suspension system for Tandem axles optimises vehicle weight and improves off-road performance with greater ground clearance and a better departure angle.
about the truck – its there for use in the toughest of conditions trucks can face.
The T-Way builds on Iveco’s long lineage of off-roaders such as the Trakker, as well as its history in things like the annual Dakar rally raid event, now held in South America, which was featured in the trail to the unveiling of the T-Way.
This launch completes the new Way heavy range, following the well-received introductions of the S-Way, S-Way NP and X-Way over the past couple of years.
