Iveco is the only brand that manufactures heavy trucks in Spain. Its Stralis range is its flagship product, so we could not stop trying it.

Iveco produces their heavy trucks Stralis Y Trakker in his Madrid Barajas factory, which until the early nineties was owned by Pegasus. Now, after the closure of the factory Renault trucks Villaverde (also in Madrid), Iveco is the only manufacturer and truck “Made in Spain”. So, after trying recently and the Volvo FH13-500 (a truck returning to double clutch), turn today to discuss its standard model.

Because within the range Iveco Stralis, the most important brand, Today the main novelty is the presence of solutions Efficiency Package, which aims to contribute to optimize consumption and maintenance costs … and you understand fundamental for heavy transport. On the one hand, they have worked on all matters affecting the mechanical and performance and, secondly, the training and promoting skills drivers.

In this sense we must talk Driving Style Evaluation (DSE), a built-in device for the Iveco Stralis Efficiency Package and serves as monitor economic driving, analyzing different parameters in real time on the driving style of each driver. Depending on the driver experience the DSE can get a saving made out of fuel of between 5 and 12 percent. That with the kilometers that makes a trucker, you can imagine that’s a lot.

Iveco Stralis: engine

And in the mechanical, incorporates in its Iveco Stralis the Eco-Roll function in its automated change Eurotronic, which puts the box in neutral when circulated in inertia, a device that also already use many new cars. Also highlight a new lubricant synthetic low viscosity (SAE 0W-20), which contributes to lower consumption another an average of 2 percent. These are some of the advances that equips this tractor Iveco Stralis AS440S48T Efficiency Package, motorized with a propeller Cursor 11 Hi-SCR 480 hp. It is a mechanics from Fiat Powertrain long stroke (144 mm) and also found available versions of 420 and 460 hp. The range of Euro 6 emissions legislation catches up with the application of Hi-SCR system, AdBlue without EGR valve.

New powertrain Iveco Stralis AS440S48T Efficiency Package It is completed with a rear axle Meritor single reduction, with a group relationship of 2.64: 1, if there were no limitations for trucks allow us to reach here 134 km / h. This scheme allows to face solvency those routes where frequent slopes are an obstacle to the commercial speed.

The retention system is comprised in this Iveco Stralis AS440S48T by a decompression engine brake Iveco Turbo Brake, which is complemented by the intarder, both elements intelligently managed by Electronic Braking System, which also they grouped the EBS, ABS, ASR and braking limiter. This set of devices besides governing the brake pedal, by lever on the right side of the steering wheel, the same with the change EuroTronic is activated and marches up and down when we operate in manual mode.

The driver also has five positions to manage retention capacity Iveco Stralis AS440S48T Efficiency Package, considering that in the first one will get 50 percent of the effect of engine braking, whose power can reach 465 kW at a rate of 2,800 rpm. In the second position we will have the engine brake operating at full load, while the intarder will contribute 25 percent of their retention capacity, which will increase gradually with the following movements of the lever. The system is very effective, whether run by the driver himself, it allows the dosing deceleration in a very staggered, as when operation to associate Adaptive Cruise Control and establish a rolling speed reference.

These characteristics, together with the virtues and dimensions Hi-Way cab, make this tractor Iveco Stralis AS440S48T Efficiency Package in one of the versions that usually fatten the ranks of large fleets working on routes long-distance transport. offers spacious cabin with more than 10 cubic meters of volume capacity, the internal height allows us to stand and where we have two bunk beds in the rest area, the folded upper and lower equipped with slats and about 80 centimeters wide.
