IVECO offers another variant of S-WAY trucks
Italian company IVECO introduced an updated line of trucks S-WAY, which premiered 2 years ago.
The purpose of the improved version of the tractor is to reduce vehicle maintenance and service for fleet owners. The new version of the tractor has an upgraded technical base, which allows a 3% increase in fuel efficiency, although the S-WAY line itself has one of the lowest fuel costs among the trucks in its category. The tractors are equipped with a new generation of rear axle design, which increases productivity.
The trucks are equipped with engines of Cursor 13 line, the predecessors of which are Cursor 11. They meet Euro 6/E emission standards. They are suitable for the use of biodiesel of different types, such as hydrogenated vegetable oil. The range of engines has been expanded with two new capacities – 490 and 530 hp. The new generation Cursor 13 has a higher compression ratio and combustion control system, which gave an opportunity to increase efficiency. The trucks are equipped with additional features, including Eco Mode, which is an automated air conditioning system. It neutralizes excessive energy absorption. In addition, the S-WAY is equipped with new aerodynamic covers that are designed to improve the quality of the air flow around the cab.
In addition to the basic package, the manufacturer IVECO offers an innovative service – Driver Pal. It is an onboard voice assistant, based on the Amazon design. Driver Pal is a link between the driver, systems and functions of the vehicle control and the IVECO control center. It is controlled via Amazon Alexa voice assistant. In addition, Driver Pal also features MYCOMMUNITY, which allows truck drivers to communicate with each other, inform their colleagues about the situation on the road and the time of arrival to the destination.
The truck versions running on two types of gas – compressed and liquefied – are equipped with a special modern system designed to reduce fuel consumption. Improved design of the steering pump and clutch compressors also contributes to this. In addition, when developing the design, engineers paid attention to ergonomics and comfort for the driver, so he can comfortably travel long distances.
Experts note that the presentation of the next generation of trucks in just 2 years after the release of the new model range is a unique event for automakers. However, IVECO managed to surprise everyone with an improved version, which has no analogues on the market yet. The company’s management hopes that consumers will appreciate the productivity and efficiency of the new S-WAY range. The manufacturer offers several modifications of the truck, which will be excellent assistants in logistics and other areas.
