• Iveco has launched its flagship high-roof EuroClass HD coach. The 3.65m-high, 12mlong model tops the regularheight EuroClass range which was launched last year.
Power comes from the 9.5litre in-line six used in the EuroTech truck range. Two power options will be available: 254kW (340hp) and 272kW (365hp).
Construction is of open-section steel pressings spot welded by computer-controlled robots. Exterior panels are painted before being fitted to the structure and are made of epoxy resins, fibre reinforced polyester or light alloy.
Interior panels are made from aircraft-style sandwich materials with good thermal and sound insulating properties.
Front and rear chassis modules, complete with suspension, transmission and steering gear are fitted once the body has been completed, allowing the modules to be replaced during overhaul programmes.
HD spec includes a cellular phone, air conditioning, ABS! ASR, electrically operated roof hatches and central locking.
