The IVECO 570s come with a 12.9-lite Cursor 13 engine that is said to produce 570hp and 2,500Nm of torque.
The purchase of the vehicles followed the delivery of a used Stralis.
Andrew Morley, Mor Cross transport director, said: “We desperately needed a truck after another marque’s vehicle broke down on us, so we bought a used IVECO Stralis and it has been a really good truck. It led to us ordering the new IVECO S-Way 510 and now the 570. Many of our drivers have come from competitor trucks – keen to get behind the wheel of the IVECO S-Way - they’ve all embraced the IVECOs from the start. We are very pleased with them.”
The IVECO S-Ways come with new aerodynamic A-pillars help smooth airflow over the bodywork, a feature that lowers drag and boosts efficiency. An Anti-idling system, Smart Engine Auxiliaries, and integrated GPS driving assistance systems combine to provide operators with a 3% fuel saving.
The trucks are based in Enston, Oxfordshire, and are set to cover 100,000km each year. They are covered by IVECO’s Planned Repair & Maintenance Contracts over the next two years, allowing operators to choose service levels that are most appropriate for their business.
