The Iveco Super Cargo is a light, strong, pricecompetitive 17/18tonner, but in the sales league it comes in behind Daf, Scania, Volvo and MercedesBenz with a 14% market share. In the used market rear-axle air suspension is still relatively rare but it's becoming much more widely specified on new chassis. The 23ohp version has been promoted, at dealer level at least, as the more fuelefficient model and should provide sufficient power to please the driver. Soon after its introduction Iveco modified the cab mountings and frontaxle disc brakes were a problem, while the short clutch life has continued to dog the Super Cargo for most of its production life. The cab's light interior trim on earlier models showed the dirt too easily. As always, dealer performance influences the customers' perception of the vehicle. Reliability of the Super Cargo does not appear to be an issue; all the operators we spoke to intend to stay with the marque.
