Who wouldn’t want to be associated with the Ferrari F1 team? (apart from Red Bull, that is). Iveco are certainly keen, they have been working with Ferrari for 20 years. However, the relationship comes as no major surprise as both companies are Italian and are both partly owned by the Agnelli family’s Exor holding company.
Two new Iveco S-Way heavy trucks will join the fleet of Iveco vehicles supplied to Scuderia Ferrari, and will be used for the transport of the Formula 1 team’s cars and equipment to the world championship racetracks.
As Official Partner Scuderia Ferrari and Official Sponsor Ferrari Challenge Europe, Iveco has delivered two S-Way trucks in a ceremony that took place today at the Ferrari track in Fiorano in the presence of Luca Sra, President, Truck Business Unit, Iveco Group, and Laurent Mekies, Scuderia Ferrari Racing Director – Head of Track Area.
Luca Sra, President, Truck Business Unit, Iveco Group, commented: “We are very proud of our brand being linked to such a world sporting legend. For the past 20 years, we have worked with Ferrari, which has entrusted our high-performance and reliable vehicles with the logistics and handling of its most important assets. We share similar values and ambitions, the passion and competitive spirit needed to perform at the highest level. Just like the Scuderia Ferrari we are driven by a fighting passion to strive for excellence, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible to raise the bar on our performance day after day, always aiming for the top.”
The two Iveco S-Way trucks in a special livery in the exclusive shade typical of Formula 1 team vehicles, extend the Iveco fleet supplied to Scuderia Ferrari, and will be used for the transport of the Formula 1 cars and equipment to the world championship race tracks.
The Iveco S-Way trucks supplied to Scuderia Ferrari are low tractors that are perfectly suited to the Maranello team motorhome. They are equipped with a 570-hp Cursor 13 engine, a 12-gear HI-TRONIX automated gearbox and fully automatic suspensions. They feature an advanced Infotainment system with satellite navigation, Iveco Driver Pal and a 4G connectivity box.
