We focus on Iveco's Cargo 7.5-tonner.
New or used, it's always in demand...

When we put the first Iveco Euro-3 Cargo through its paces we wondered if a new engine and some chassis upgrades could keep Iveco ahead of the pack.The two biggest players in this sector certainly took different approaches to Euro-3: Daf replaced its LF-series with the 45 while Iveco talked of "evolution rather than revolution" and changed the engine first, before introducing the latest EuroCargo in 2003.
But these arch rivals have more in common than meets the eye.The all-newTector engine, assembled in Turin by Iveco. has its roots in the Cummins' B-Series, and is the result of the European Engine Alliance (EEA) between Iveco. Cummins and New Holland.The upshot is that a closely related engine is offered in the Daf LE45.
However, there are enough differences for the marketing men to chew on. Dafs Paccarbadged '170hp' Cummins has some different components and produces a couple of horsepower less than Iveco's Tector, and it produces its peak torque over a narrower rev band.The most obvious difference is in nomenclature, as the Iveco E15 unit is saddled with the catchy designation,F4AE0481A*C
The lowdown wa, it looks like lveco has done enough to convince existing Cargo operators to buy some more — the Tector-powered Euro-3 model gives more of the same, with better fuel consumption, enhanced &Liveability and longer service intervals.
It's a shame that the cab and chassis don't match up to the innovation of the engine, but Iveco has enough of a job satisfying existing customers with a bewildering array of engines, running gear and wheelbase options.
Moving to Euro-3 without losing anything in the way of payload or productivity would be an impressive feat in itself. But to improve fuel economy while keeping the price so competitive —this chassis costs £7,000 less than the 75E14S we tested in 1997—is a real bonus.
At the Euro-3 Cargo's launch Iveco predicted that repair and maintenance contract prices would be around 12-20% less than for the old model.With stats like that the Cargo will stay popular for a long time yet. r
