As bodybuilder Paneltex is holding Iveco chassis in stock, it can reduce delivery times to six weeks for popular body sizes. Three sizes of vehicle were shown: 7.2 Iveco Daily chassis cab, 18-tonne Eurocargo chassis cab, and 26 tonne Stralis 6x2 rigid. A 12-tonne Eurocargo model is also part of the range.
Trucks are available in various types of tail-lift configuration and Carrier Transicold fridge models.
The Stralis comes with multi-compartment insulated PanelTex box body and is fitted with Carrier’s Iceland Twincool engine. That is powered by a hydraulic pump connected to the Cursor’s power take-off. The pump drives a generator that delivers electrical power to the fridge and provides refrigeration even at engine idle.
Also shown was a Eurocargo 18-tonner fitted with Carrier Transicold Supra fridge.
At the nearby Paneltex stand, a 7.2-tonne Daily chassis cab was shown fitted with 16-foot long refrigerated box body, and cooled by a Carrier Pulsor 500 fridge.
Iveco’s ‘DriveAway’ programme was extended to include other types of bodies, including concrete mixers, aluminium bodies, walking-floor units, skip and hook loaders, and more. Other partners include Abba, Boughton, Boweld, Brit-Tipp, Hiab, Hyva, JC Payne, Johnston and Kel-berg.
