Iveco, an Italian manufacturer based in Turin, is part of the Iveco Group (formerly CNH Industrial). The brand stands out for its commitment to alternative fuels, being the first European manufacturer to offer an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) tractor unit for long-distance transport.
The S-Way (from 2019) succeeds the Stralis with Cursor 11 (11.1L, 400-460 HP) and Cursor 13 (12.9L, 490-570 HP) engines. The NP (Natural Power) LNG version offers ranges of up to 1,600 km and emission levels 95% lower than diesel for NOx. The 12-speed HI-TRONIX automated gearbox is Iveco's own development.
Iveco was the first European manufacturer to commit to LNG for long-distance transport. The Stralis NP (Natural Power), launched in 2016, proved that natural gas could be a viable diesel alternative on international routes. The 460 HP Cursor 13 NP engine runs on LNG or CNG and meets Euro 6 without needing a particulate filter or SCR AdBlue system. The European LNG station network has grown to over 600 stations, covering major transport corridors.
The Iveco S-Way is the premium tractor unit with the lowest entry price in the segment: a 2019-2021 S-Way 460 with 500,000-700,000 km costs between 33,000 and 48,000 €, clearly below the German and Swedish brands. It suits hauliers prioritising contained investment, domestic fleets and operators wanting to try natural gas (NP LNG version) to cut fuel costs and access low-emission zones. The Cursor 13 offers good torque for 40 tonnes. Coatrucks imports Iveco from Italy, France and Spain with verified history.
The Cursor 13 engine is robust and cheap to maintain, with parts among the most affordable in the premium segment. Watch points are the EGR system and the variable-geometry turbo around 600,000-700,000 km, and on LNG versions the condition of the cryogenic tank and valves. Before buying, connect Iveco EASY diagnostics, inspect the HI-TRONIX clutch and check the AdBlue history. Coatrucks delivers every Iveco with a documented inspection and a 6-month B2B mechanical warranty.
