More and faster choices for Eurocargo trucks04 June 2013

Iveco is reintroducing its DriveAway Options programme on Eurocargo trucks, with a range of bodied 7.5-tonne vehicles available to buy off dealer forecourts around the country.

The company is bringing back the scheme following the success of a similar re-launch for 3.5 tonne Dailys in 2012.

For the truck range, DriveAway Options allows customers to buy pre-bodied vehicles and have them on the road almost immediately – with the line-up including tippers, from Brit-Tipp, and box and curtainside models, from JC Payne.

The range will include the Eurocargo DriveAway tipper (ML75E16K), built on a 3,105mm wheelbase. The Brit-Tipp body has a steel front end double dropside tipping body, complete with heavy-duty ladder gantry and top and bottom hinged rear tailgate. There is the option of fitting a 50mm tow ball and pin, with seven pin trailer connection, for the tipper body.

Completing the range is the DriveAway curtainsider (ML75E16), built on a 4,455mm wheelbase and with internal load space dimensions of 6,100 x 2,400 x 2,384mm. The JC Payne body offers a cubic capacity of 35.95m³, with a body weight of 1,375 kg. Customers can add a 1,000 kg-plated tuck-away tail-lift as an option.

"European Whole Vehicle Type Approval applies to all trucks above 3.5 tonnes from October 2014 and these Eurocargo DriveAway bodies will be certified during 2013, well in advance of the deadline," confirms Martin Flach, Iveco's product director.

"It means the complete Eurocargo DriveAway vehicle can be purchased on one invoice with a comprehensive two year unlimited mileage warranty covering the body and chassis," he adds.

"It also gives customers the assurance of quality engineering from an Iveco accredited bodybuilder – with solutions to suit the three most popular body types specified on Ivecos in this weight category."
