Connected driver-centric long-haul truck launches
The on-road Iveco S-WAY is the first vehicle in the new Iveco WAY heavy range developed to deliver a complete package of features and services focused on the driver, on sustainability and on an advanced level of connectivity enabling new customised services.
The Iveco S-WAY was launched at a global event held in Madrid, involving global leader partners Amazon, Shell and Microsoft.
Iveco presented last night its new Iveco S-WAY heavy vehicle for on-road missions in a milestone Convention held at the IFEMA exhibition centre in Madrid, Spain, to its dealer network, its sales people, customers and the representatives of the international press.
The Iveco S-WAY carries over all the advances introduced in the previous generations and adds a new cab entirely redesigned around the driver’s and the owner’s needs. In the face of fierce competition, logistics operators need top-level uptime, efficiency and productivity from their fleets. The design also addresses driver safety with the reinforced structure (ECE R29.03 cab crash compliant) and much improved visibility all around and in all conditions.
The new design optimises aerodynamic performance, further increasing the vehicle’s excellent fuel efficiency by up to 4%.
The new, advanced Connectivity Box in the Iveco S-WAY collects, processes and exchanges data in real time. It works off a service platform developed in partnership with Microsoft that provides safe data storage and management, and many value-added services. Owners and drivers are constantly connected with the vehicle on their mobile device or PC through the user-friendly MyIveco portal and app.
For logistics operators wishing to run a ‘green’ fleet, the Iveco S-WAY Natural Power is said to be the only LNG truck offering a range of up to 1,600km for long haul missions with 460hp. With this vehicle, they will benefit from all the advantages of natural gas, the only immediately available low-emission alternative to diesel in the heavy segment, which delivers Particulate Matter emissions 99% lower than diesel, 90% less NO2 and, with biomethane, CO2 is 95% lower, near zero.
