The new IVECO S-Way Natural Gas CNG boosts its impressive capabilities further with a new 6x2 option, enabling operators to dramatically reduce fleet emissions and meet challenging CSR targets, while also running at 44-tonnes GVW. With refuelling times comparable to diesel, this new configuration, in partnership with Astra Vehicle Technologies, allows more missions than ever to reduce CO2 by up to 95% when running on biomethane versus an equivalent diesel truck.
Featuring all genuine IVECO parts, allowing for a full vehicle warranty and a range of R&M packages all within the IVECO dealer network to minimise downtime, peace of mind comes as standard with this truck. Chassis conversion specialists Astra Vehicle Technologies were selected to equip the 17.5” axle. Its extensive experience with IVECO vehicles and its Gold Bodybuilder status makes for the perfect partnership to deliver this class-leading package.
The UK Artic truck market is made up of 90% 6x2 vehicles, making the introduction of this natural gas model essential to operators looking to decarbonise their fleets. In addition to attractive TCO benefits versus traditional diesel trucks, operators will also value the conventional 6x2 wheelbase design of the IVECO S-Way CNG that does not compromise the use of a standard-length trailer.
At the heart of the IVECO S-Way CNG 6x2 is the advanced XCURSOR 13 engine. Its 12.9-litre unit makes this IVECO the most powerful mono-fuel Natural Gas truck on the market, generating an unrivalled 500hp. Expertly engineered, this engine takes the success of its predecessor even further - lighter, stronger, and even more efficient than before. Weighing up to 10% less with CO2 emissions down by up to 8% over its forefather, this high-performance engine is ready for any mission.
Efficiency can be further boosted via a series of CO2 combating options. Aerodynamic Mirror Cams not only boost visibility beyond traditional mirrors, but also deliver a fuel saving benefit of up to 1.5% thanks to reduced drag. The new High Performance Engine brake is now 30% more effective and is capable of substituting the retarder in most mission scenarios, granting better efficiency. An additional saving yields from the advanced Predictive Cruise Control that utilises topographical data to optimise vehicle running.
Impressive engineering is also found inside the AS cab that features an improved ‘car-like’ seating position, excellent all-around visibility, and impressive ergonomics. Being amongst the most spacious in its class, generous sleeping quarters and ample storage makes this space popular amongst drivers.
Technology courses through the new IVECO S-Way, with a customisable digital instrument cluster delivering the exacting information you need behind the wheel. A large 10” touchscreen infotainment system featuring rich graphics provides access to navigation and a suite of media functionality. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto puts the apps you’re familiar with right at your fingertips.
The new IVECO S-Way comes with 5 years of connectivity services as standard, enabling fleet operators to access vehicle location, fuel reports, safety reports, uptime monitoring and over-the-air updates. Access to the Easy Way app puts key controls at the driver’s disposal while also providing quick access to the Easy Guide maintenance manual.
Mike Cutts, IVECO Business Line Director Full Range UK & ROI said: “The IVECO S-Way Natural Gas CNG 6x2 enables more operators than ever before to take full advantage of this renewable fuel and substantially cut fleet CO2 emissions. Thanks to our partnership with Astra Vehicle Technologies, IVECO is in the unique position of offering not only the most powerful natural gas truck on the market, but also the most capable.”
