On urban deliveries

Truck design is new but the essentials remain
​With the new Iveco Eurocargo, truck design is putting on its best face.

The new cab is modern and practical, fully expressing the vehicle’s energetic character.

The shape of the new deflectors highlights the large brand name in the centre. With its UV filter screen, the windscreen offers excellent protection, without the negative aerodynamic impact of an exterior sunshade.

The new bumper provides a step to access the windscreen for cleaning while also housing the AEBS radar. The new headlamp cluster, with LED Daytime Running Lights (as standard), is available with Xenon headlights.

The doors feature the new badge with the Eurocargo logo and the initials identifying the model.

Design meets functionality. It’s been developed on the back of an in-depth study in aerodynamics – such as, for example, the new air deflectors which guide the flow of air guaranteeing the door handle stays clean.

The new Eurocargo is the best city truck: the perfect vehicle for door-to-door deliveries, for missions across town and for any other kind of transport in the city centres.

Thanks to its ideal cab width (2.1 m), its large steering angle (52 degrees) and the best turning circle in its category (just under 11 metres for the 2790 mm wheelbase version), it is perfect for tasks in urban areas.

​Comfort and ergonomics at new levels
​The new Eurocargo truck takes comfort and ergonomics to new levels.

The steering wheel controls enable the driver to use the radio and phone in complete safety. The vehicle also features new, more ergonomic controls for the climate control, lights and automatic gearbox.

Everything has its place on the new Iveco Eurocargo, within arm’s reach: it now features more storage compartments for items and documents, special compartments for cards and a hanging rail on the back wall of the cab.

The driver’s side console houses two practical bottle holders, a 12 V power socket and an option for a compressed air socket.

The new Eurocargo truly is an office on the move. The new mobile office with a capacity of 20 litres (available with single passenger seat) can house a laptop or tablet; it also features a reading light and is equipped with side storage pockets and two USB connectors for charging electronic devices. A comfortable work space can also be created by opening the upper deck.

The new design extends to the interior which is equipped with seats trimmed with an in electrowelded fabric; there is a new “high-comfort” air suspension driver’s seat, available upon request, with a fully adjustable backrest, height-adjustable seat belt, dual density upholstery, heating and ventilation.

An armrest is available as an optional extra for all air-suspended seats.

Ideal for urban missions, the new Eurocargo guarantees easy cross cab access. The linear dashboard and the compact dimensions of the engine tunnel allows the driver to easily leave the vehicle from either the right or the left.

​Eurocargo truck Safety features
​The new Eurocargo truck protects the driver and the load: in addition to its robustness, the vehicle is now also equipped with a steering wheel airbag – a brand new safety feature. Active safety is also improved, due to new electronic devices installed (as standard) as part of the driver assistance system.

The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) will warn the driver if the vehicle makes an unwanted departure from the lane. The camera mounted on the windscreen means the system can recognise the road markings and will sound an alarm if the vehicle changes lane without the driver signalling.

In addition to the Electronic Vehicle Stability Control (EVSC), the Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) helps to avoid accidents caused when the driver is distracted.

The system measures the distance from the vehicle in front, and calculates the time of a potential collision; a double warning system is then triggered before the brakes are actuated.

In the event of a moving obstacle, the system intervenes automatically, reducing the speed to 32 km/h to avoid impact. In the case of a fixed obstacle, the system can prevent and moderate the impact by reducing the speed by 10 km/h. Warning: the AEBS does not guarantee that you will avoid collisions and it cannot eliminate the risks of driving without due care and attention.

These new devices mean the new Eurocargo meets the requirements of the new legislation with effect from November 2015 (Commission Regulation EU 347/2012).

The new safety features do not stop there. The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) adjusts the speed by maintaining the distance from the vehicle in front. To do this, it uses the same AEBS radar (with a range of 120 metres) to intervene automatically, first by reducing torque, then by actuating the engine brake and, finally, the service brake.

To improve driving safety and visibility, it is equipped with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) as standard. Xenon headlights are also available upon request. The steering wheel controls for audio and Bluetooth™ devices promote road safety and enable the driver to focus their attention on the road.

​Hi-SCR helps minimise maintenance costs
​The new Eurocargo truck is the only Euro 6 in its category to adopt a single after-treatment device for exhaust gases: the HI-SCR system with passive DPF (exclusive to IVECO). An innovative solution which reduces consumption, overheating and technical stoppages.

HI-SCR is a simple system, lightweight, efficient and environment-friendly

– does not require a large cooling system (and therefore does not change the vehicle structure)

– uses fewer components (and fewer replacement parts) compared with the competition

– weighs considerably less than the EGR+SCR solution adopted by the majority of competitor vehicles

– guarantees reduced fuel consumption compared with the EGR+SCR versions

The HI-SCR is the only emission control system which does not change the combustion process – because it works through fresh air intake rather than exhaust gas recirculation. This means that the combustion temperature remains high and the percentage of particulate is reduced, without the need for an active DPF. The problems of forced regeneration are eradicated at the source.

This is a key benefit, not only because it increases reliability, but also because it enables unrestricted access to sensitive places like tunnels, airports, ships and underground car parks, where the high temperatures caused by active regeneration pose a risk.

​Diesel fuel consumption reduced by up to 8%
​The new 2015 Iveco Eurocargo: another step on the road to improving truck efficiency.

The latest generation Tector 5 and 7 engines use low-viscosity engine oil which reduces friction, increases performances and extends the maintenance intervals.

Other special features have been introduced across the entire engine range; these features are particularly important on high-traffic missions where competitiveness depends on the cost of ownership:

– the electronically controlled two-speed electromagnetic fan clutch which is engaged or disengaged according to the cooling requirements

– the EcoRoll feature, introduced on the 12-speed gearbox, takes advantage of the vehicle’s inertia and automatically shifts the gearbox in/out of neutral to reduce consumption in various situations (e.g. downhill slopes)

– the EcoSwitch (available on all 6- to 12-speed automated gearboxes) reprogrammes the gear change logic for maximum truck efficiency. When switched on by the driver, the EcoSwitch feature activates the speed limiter, deactivates the kick-down function, and only authorises automatic gear changes.

These new devices (and the use of a new, low-viscosity rear axle oil) mean the new Iveco Eurocargo reduces diesel fuel consumption by up to 8% on the urban deliveries.

​Greater flexibility, lower consumption

​The new Iveco Eurocargo in available with two four-cylinder 160 and 190 HP engines specially designed for high truck performance in city work. The torque and power output has been optimised to suit the typical operating conditions of urban missions.
Thanks to the new pistons, new injectors and the faster response of the new turbocharger, the compression ratio has risen from 17:1 to 18:I, improving the torque output over 1200 rpmby approximately 8%. The truck performance now achieves 680 Nm (for the 160 Hp) and 700 Nm (for the 190 Hp), reaching maximum power at 2200 rpm instead of 2500 rpm.

All this helps to significantly lower consumption in the urban cycle and during acceleration.The new Eurocargo’s hearts are Tector 5 four-cylinder diesel 4.5-litre and Tector 7 six-cylinder 6.7-litre diesel. The range includes seven power levels from 160 to 320 Hp, with a maximum torque of 1100 Nm, completed with a CNG engine delivering 750 Nm and 204 Hp.

These engines are mated to manual gearbox (6- or 9- speed), 6- or 12-speed automated or automatic gearboxes with torque converter.
The new Iveco Eurocargo is equipped with HI-SCR, the after-treatment system is lightweight and efficient, which eliminates regeneration downtimes compared with competitor vehicles equipped with the EGR+SCR solution.

The regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is passive, continuous and automatically managed therefore no action is required by the driver. There is no need to make periodic technical stops and the components are not subject to heat stress, all of which increases the reliability of parts.

The natural solution for the environment

​In the name of sustainability, the new Iveco Eurocargo enhances its alternative fuel range with the new Eurocargo Natural Power CNG (compressed natural gas).

The leader since 1995, with a total of 13,000 trucks sold in Europe, IVECO is the only manufacturer to offer a full line-up of CNG models for freight and passenger transport.
Light, medium and heavy duty vehicles with light footprint on the environment, which now represent the new benchmark in sustainability.

Compressed Natural Gas is the most environmentally-friendly fuel commercially available: the only real alternative to automotive diesel fuel, with 3500 distribution facilities operating in Europe.
IVECO CNG engine emissions are characterised by reduced NOx, the total absence of lead compounds and aromatic hydrocarbons and a 95% reduction in particulates compared with diesel. This performance is already better than the Euro VI standard, stages B + C.

With CNG costing slightly less than diesel across Europe, customers could save up to 25%.
The new Eurocargo Natural Power is available in versions from 11 to 16 t, with a six-cylinder engine offering increased torque of 750 Nm and increased power output of 204 Hp, mated to a 9-speed manual or to an automatic gearbox with torque converter. The vehicle’s features and transport capacity are identical to the other versions: the cylinders are fitted next to the side members so they do not take up cargo space. Maximum range 400 km.

The new Eurocargo Natural Power is particularly at home in major cities – its low emissions mean it is allowed to drive in restricted traffic zones and its quiet operation (5 dB quieter than diesel) makes it ideal for night-time work.

​Robust & reliable

​The new Eurocargo truck appeals to customers because of its reliability and robustness: two qualities which stem from the chassis, derived from heavy haulage and designed to be durable and to withstand higher stresses (e.g. an unbalanced load or a sudden change of direction).

To adapt to any type of mission, the new Iveco Eurocargo offers many different types of suspension: parabolic, semi-elliptical leaf spring and air suspensions. Air suspensions are controlled by an ECAS (Electronically Controlled Air Suspension) system, which guarantees a constant vehicle position regardless of the load level. They can be fitted to the rear axle or to both axles.

The front and rear axles and braking system guarantee the reliability of the mechanical characteristics over time. The braking system is air-hydraulic on the 6- to 10-tonne range and full air on the 11- to 19-tonne range. All 4×2 versions are equipped with disc brakes as standard.

An exhaust flap has been introduced with the HI-SCR technology, which acts to quickly bring exhaust gases to the right temperature. This device also helps improve engine braking power (thereby improving the vehicle’s overall braking capacity).
