Iveco Tractor Units - An Overview
Used Iveco Tractor Unit - Here a Stralis 450
Used tractor units from Iveco come equipped to handle any situation, with spacious cabs, competitive levels of efficiency and low maintenance costs. Its Eurocargo range is made up of units weighing between 6.5 and 18 tonnes, while the Iveco Stralis family includes much bigger vehicles, with the largest models topping out at 44 tonnes in terms of operating weight alone.
A good selection of second-hand Iveco tractor units will be available at all times because of the ubiquity of this brand. So whether you are seeking a standard variant for short-haul transit of heavy goods or a sleeper model for long-distance stints, there should be a truck to satisfy your needs. Just ensure you consider the age, mileage and state of repair of any prospective units.
An Urban Eurocargo Tractor at PM Commercials
Although the Eurocargo trucks from Iveco tend to feature rigid bodies there are Eurocargo urban tractor units available - they can be specially converted. In recent years this range has been endowed with Euro IV engines for the latest in emissions reduction and fuel efficiency. Power outputs of up to 320bhp are available on some models, and there are a trio of different cab configurations available, including a basic day cab, a six-seater crew cab and a full sleeper cab with the option of adding a high roof for further comfort and storage benefits. Driver safety is taken seriously, and standard seating can be swapped out for seats with air suspension, with extras such as this appearing on some used models if you look carefully.
Award-Winning Stralis
The Stralis range of tractor units will attract many buyers, as they have won many awards, showing that Iveco is capable of courting acclaim across the industry. More compact units allow for use on urban streets, with narrower cab profiles helping to make them more able to fit through gaps that might be problematic for their larger siblings. Meanwhile, the Stralis units intended for national and intercontinental haulage are efficient and surprisingly stylish, with ergonomic interiors keeping drivers and passengers in good spirits throughout the journey. Opting for the high-roof version of this unit gives you a full 10 cubic metres of room within the cab itself, in addition to intuitively laid-out driver controls, the latest aids and comprehensive navigation and entertainment options.
Iveco tractor units from older ranges, including the Eurostar model, are available used, and its vehicles can feature air suspension, disc brakes and all the conveniences which are required to make trucks suitable for circumnavigating the globe. Buying second-hand does mean taking into account the wear and tear that will have occurred while on the road, but inspecting a tractor unit before purchasing it will not only allow you to check this, but also means you can ensure that it is fit to take on the role you intend it to fill. There are many truck manufacturers competing in the same markets as Iveco, but its brand remains as resilient as the vehicles that it produces.
