Iveco
Iveco is one of the world leaders in road transportation. It designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of light, medium and
heavy commercial vehicles for on-road and off-road use. Alongside its main product offer, the company also offers after-sales
and financing services, in addition to services related to used vehicles.
From the beginning, the company has been committed to safe, efficient and ecological mobility. It is the only producer to
offer ecological diesel and natural gas engines on its entire range of vehicles. Iveco was the first full-line truckmaker to invest
significantly in natural gas technology, developing components and optimized configurations for use with CNG. From light
segment vehicles (EcoDaily), to medium (Eurocargo) and heavy (Stralis), all products are equipped with engines that meet the
Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Vehicle standard (EEV), the strictest emissions standard currently in effect in Europe.
Iveco Irisbus
Iveco Irisbus is one of the major European manufacturers in the passenger transport sector and is steadily expanding its
activities globally, selling its products in more than 40 countries. This has been achieved through continuous investment in
research and development and the use of cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. Iveco Irisbus offers a complete range
of vehicles for transporting people: coaches for short and long-range touring, buses for urban and inter-city transport, and
mini-buses. One of the features that sets Iveco Irisbus apart is its approach to testing – which for years has been conducted in
close collaboration with the operators of public transport – on alternative fuels and new vehicle concepts, focusing in particular
on environmental impact, passenger comfort and running costs.
Iveco Astra
Astra is synonymous with endurance and reliability the world over. Not even African roads or the most challenging desert
conditions can stop Astra vehicles whose safety performance and productivity serve as a standard bearer for Italian technology
around the world. The company, which was founded in 1946, has been part of the Iveco sector since 1986. It has behind
it more than 60 years of experience designing and producing vehicles to carry out the most challenging tasks in extreme
climate conditions. Astra builds vehicles that can enter the most inaccessible quarries and mines and move huge quantities
of heavy material, such as rock or mud. The product range includes mining and construction vehicles, rigid and articulated
dumptrucks, and special vehicles. The company is also strongly committed to reducing emissions levels for its vehicles and, on
the production side, it seeks to optimize waste collection and use for the maximum recovery and recycling possible.
Iveco Magirus
For 140 years, Magirus has been making equipment to deal with the most serious emergencies: fires, floods, earthquakes and
explosions. Its story begins in 1864, when the business was started up by Conrad Magirus, chief of the local fire brigade in Ulm
(Germany), who invented the first ever firefighting ladder. With many commercial successes and recognitions received over the
years, the company is today a major player globally in the firefighting and emergency equipment sector. Iveco Magirus actively
collaborates with firefighters from Siberia to Africa, and from China to Japan. It is through a close relationship with those at the
front line in emergency response that the best and most reliable technological solutions are developed.
