Iveco Eurocargo : design meets functionality
​Truck design is new but the essentials remain With 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 wi​th 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.

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.

​A comfortable office on the move
​Comfort and ergonomics at new levels
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.

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, 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 protects the driver and the load
​Eurocargo truck Safety features : 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.

​The Eurocargo truck: efficiency and performance
​Diesel fuel consumption reduced by up to 8%
​The 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 a​dvantage 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.

​The new Eurocargo truck: performance and flexibility

​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.

​An efficient partner for every task

​Three different cab types to satify the requirements of every job

​From deliveries to construction, refrigerated transport to urban services, the new Eurocargo truck is graduated in versatility in its category – and is also the easiest to body. Made from high-yield-strength steel, the chassis frame can accommodate body lengths of 4265 to 10,175 mm; the side members are parallel along the entire length and are pre-configured to simplify assembly of the superstructure.

The new Iveco Eurocargo offers three different cab types: their versatility satisfies the requirements of every job:

- The day cab offers the best balance between overall body width and length, and is best suited to daily work in major cities.
- The sleeper cab is available in a standard or high roof version; this is designed to provide overnight accommodation and is equipped with one or two bunks. Two illuminated boxes (accessible from both inside and outside) provide 260 litres of additional space for the efficient storage of bags or tools. The outer door can be opened using an electric control.
- The crew cab (with standard roof) is designed to transport the whole crew plus tools and equipment. It can accommodate six passengers in addition to the driver, and is particularly well suited for use in construction and fire prevention services.
In total, the new Eurocargo is available in 11,000 factory versions, resulting from the combination of its product variants: two types of drive, 14 gross vehicle weight levels and seven power outputs, 12 gearboxes, 15 wheelbases and three types of cab with two roofs – in addition to a wide range of suspension systems, axle ratios, axles and PTOs (up to 1100 Nm).
