NEW MODEL IVECO T-WAY
Productivity and efficiency
Productivity and efficiency have been priorities in the design of the T-Way, with a host of features included to deliver that.
For instance, it offers a new fuel- saving solution for missions that require an occasional All Wheel Drive (AWD) capability: the Hi-Traction hydrostatic drive system for 6x4 rigid and articulated models. It operates at speeds of up to 25km/h and is automatically activated
to provide additional hydraulic front- wheel traction when needed. It delivers significant benefits in terms of fuel consumption and payload compared to the AWD solution, Iveco claim. The low kerb weight has been reduced by 325kg compared to the Trakker with the new design of the tandem support on the ear axles, which is now a single-piece casting component.
As with all new trucks, connectivity is a key point, and the T-Way has the standard Connectivity Box, which is found in all
trucks in the Way range. The connectivity system provides telediagnostics and predictive maintenance. It also
enables fleet managers to remotely monitor all vehicles’ performance at
all times, ensuring maximum efficiency. Meanwhile, the constantly
expanding portfolio of Iveco ON connectivity-enabled services are focused on maximising the customers’ productivity and the vehicle’s durability, as well as minimising unplanned downtime.
