The Stralis X-Way will be available from Iveco dealerships in September and is said to be ideal for on-road applications requiring light off-road capability.
The vehicle was previewed on Friday 2 June at the manufacturer’s plant in Madrid, where it will be built.
Pierre Lahutte, Iveco brand president, said the Stralis X-Way would deliver “high productivity, safety and excellent total cost of ownership”.
He added: “Our new X-Way combines the legendary Trakker chassis strength with all the fuel saving and safety features of the New Stralis. It offers all the performance and comfort benefits of our most advanced long haul on-road trucks like the latest XP, together with the robustness of our toughest off-road vehicle.”
The Stralis X-Way boasts a low kerb weight of 9 tonnes – the lowest in the industry, claims Iveco – for the Super Loader (SL) version on an 8x4 chassis.
The vehicle is offered with 9-, 11- and 13-litre engine options, all with Iveco’s Hi-SCR technology. Fuel efficiency is boosted by systems such as Hi-Cruise and SMART auxiliaries, both of which have been validated to give an 11.2% fuel reduction by independent body TUV SUD on the New Stralis XP.
The Stralis X-Way will have a choice of cabs: the AD (Active Day) short cab with low roof; the AT (Active Time) sleeper cab with low or medium roof; and the AS (Active Space) sleeper cab, promising “ultimate comfort” for drivers.
Iveco is also promising maintenance and repair savings for the new truck, thanks to long service intervals and a range of technologies.
The Stralis X-Way will be offered in artic or rigid versions, and with a range of features and components, giving operators a “vehicle than can be configured for an extensive variety of missions”.
