“We designed the Iveco T-Way with the ambition
to set new standards in robustness, reliability, efficiency, handling, body- fitting flexibility and connected services”
NEW MODEL IVECO T-WAY
Flexibility
The T-Way comes with a wide range
of drivelines for both rigid and articulated versions. This includes Partial Wheel Drive (PWD) on the 6x4 rigid and articulated 8x4 rigid models; as well as AWD on 4x4 and 6x6 rigid and articulated, and on 8x8 rigid versions. The AWD range has been extended with new 4-, 4.2- and 4.5-metre wheelbase models, which can transport special loads with no modification to the chassis.
The new Hi-Mux electric and electronic architecture is compatible with the latest-generation control systems. The new PTO line-up includes a new high-performance sandwich PTO that delivers up to 2,300Nm torque.
This means that it is compatible with many body types and conversions.
Driver comfort and safety
In terms of the cab, two versions are available – AD short cab and AT long cab with standard or high roof. The design has focused on functionality to facilitate the driver’s daily work. For instance, it includes a comfortable and ergonomic driver’s seat, together with a new-concept multi-function steering wheel.
There are also a plethora of safety features, which exceed the type-approval requirements. The new braking system features EBS as standard, full disc brakes are available on PWD models, and new Advanced Driving Assistance Systems are available across the range.
Luca Sra, chief operating officer at Iveco’s Truck Business Unit, said the launch opened “a new chapter” in Iveco’s off-road history: “Heir to the throne
Thomas Hilse,
Iveco brand president
of the Trakker as the ‘strongest of the heaviest’,” he said. “This extra-strong vehicle, a true champion of performance, sturdiness and durability, will further consolidate Iveco’s presence in the
heavy off-road sector. The Iveco T-Way completes the renewal of our heavy Iveco Way range, which is now one of the freshest, richest and most innovative on the market.”
Thomas Hilse, Iveco brand president, added: “We designed the Iveco T-Way with the ambition to set new standards in robustness, reliability, efficiency, handling, body-fitting flexibility and connected services – and design, a ‘must’ for an Italian brand. The name says it all: T for Tough!”
