IVECO T-Way: the most reliable and productive heavy-duty truck to face the toughest challenges
The IVECO T-Way builds on the heritage of robustness and reliability of the brand’s long lineage of champion off- roaders. It introduces state-of-the art technological solutions to exceed all expectations in productivity, payload capacity, safety and driver comfort.
“T” FOR TOUGH: designed and engineered for robustness and reliability
The IVECO T-Way has been designed to offer best-in-class performance in every off-road mission, robustness and torsional rigidity. It carries over from its predecessors the legendary robustness of the high-resistance steel chassis with a 10mm thick frame, with a Rail Bending Moment at the top of the segment at 177 kNm. The front axle has a maximum capacity of up to 9 tons.
Hub reduction on the rear axle is standard to maximize strength and performance.
The new heavy-duty rear suspension system for Tandem axles optimizes vehicle weight and improves off-road performance with greater ground clearance and a better departure angle.
The IVECO T-Way delivers all the power needed for traction and PTO with IVECO’s reliable and efficient Cursor 13 engine (13 litres) that develops up to 470 horsepower.
The engines are coupled with the proven 16-speed HI-TRONIX automated gearbox, which now also features new functions specifically intended for off-road mobility including 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 when idling; for the on-road sections of the mission, the Ecoroll, function that uses the vehicle’s inertia when travelling downhill enhances the transmission’s efficiency.
HI-TRONIX represents the state-of-art in the automated transmission sector and delivers the perfect gearshift strategy for every application.
