The Stralis was Iveco’s top weight truck from 2002 until its replacement, the S-Way, arrived in the UK in 2021. The model covers the weight range from 19 tonnes GVW to 44 tonnes – both rigid and articulated. The choice of cabs means that urban distribution can be more effective with the 2.28m wide ‘Active Time’ and ‘Active Day’ cabs and long haul transport suited to the 2.48m wide Active Space Cab. Later models are well designed and engineered and post-2013 versions have the benefit of using SCR only to reach Euro 6. This means no complicated EGR systems that feed the hot exhaust back into the engine that most other truck manufacturers rely on. At this time, Iveco renamed the Stralis the ‘Stralis Hi-Way’ – this was to distinguish it from the construction version, the ‘Stralis X-Way’. the Hi-Way was superseded by the S-Way – the truck with the totally redesigned cab.
Check out the gas versions – either compressed or liquified natural gas (CNG/LNG) that can make a real and immediate impact on the environment in terms of both well to wheel emissions and noise. This model has been undervalued in the UK – especially in the used market. This means that canny UK truck buyers should be able to buy a lot of truck for their money.
Launched as far back as 2002, it used the structural body of the outgoing EuroStar model but a new exterior and interior. The Stralis introduced a choice of cab widths – the 2.28m Active Time/Active Day as well as the 2.48m Active Space Cab. A choice of Cursor 10 or Cursor 13 engines with the 6-cylinder, 10-litre Cursor 10 offering outputs of 400 to 430hp and the 13-litre 6-cylinder Cursor 13 with 480 or an impressive 540hp.
The Stralis was the first truck to fit an automated gearbox as standard – ZF’s 12AS2301 or 16AS2601 for the Cursor 13.
Three engine options available in the Cursor 8, 10 and 13 with outputs from 310 to 560hp
As with all truck makers, Iveco had to update the Stralis for the new regulations. The big difference was that the Stralis reached the standards only using SCR to clean up emissions, whereas nearly all the other manufacturers used a combination of EGR and SCR.
This meant less reengineering of the cab for increased cooling and a lighter overall truck. Not to mention the money saved in R&D in changing the cab and installing an EGR system.
With re-engineered motors, the XP was launched alongside Iveco’s natural gas-powered Stralis NP. Complete with all-new rear axles and a new-generation, 12-speed ZF automated transmission – the ‘Hi-Tronix’ and a revised, lighter rear suspension set up, fuel consumption was greatly improved over the original Euro 6 model – Iveco claimed by nearly 10%.
With a brand-new cab, Iveco took the opportunity to rebrand their flagship top-weight truck the S-Way. With improved aerodynamics, Iveco claim up to 4% fuel improvement on the old Stralis cab and details such as improving braking distances by up to 15%. Few changes to the driveline from the 2016 upgrades, but the truck looks a lot more modern and would grace any fleet.
What’s a Gas-Powered Stralis Like?
Logistics is no easy business. Forget the current driver shortage – the industry has been battling with this issue for many years already. Think about the pace of change as far as environmental issues are concerned. Many logistics companies are investing in alternative propulsion technology as an opportunity and others because their customers are demanding it. As fully electric long-distance trucks are not ready yet, the only greener alternative to diesel for an operation that triple shifts their trucks is to look at fuelling the with Biomethane. This is what JSE-listed Imperial Logistics (Imperial) has managed in adding 18 new…
Food companies produce food waste. It’s a fact. It is what happens to the waste that is important. Rot the waste down and use the gas to power trucks with, whist using the remaining solid waste as fertiliser – then you are making a massive impact on the business’ carbon footprint. This is what food supply giants, Moy Park, has achieved in buying 50 Bio-LNG-fuelled Iveco trucks to help greenify its logistics operation. Supplied by South West Truck & Van in Avonmouth are 50 Iveco AS440S46TX/P LNG Stralis NP 460 tractors, destined to run out of the company’s Sleaford and…
Quite a coup for Iveco to get 29 tractor units into Royal Mail. The fact that they are all powered by gas (Bio-CNG) is even more impressive. IVECO Stralis NP 460 CNG Destined for Royal Mail Over the course of coming weeks, the IVECO Stralis NP 460 CNG-fuelled trucks will be introduced to the Company’s fleet in the North West of England, in addition to the two already in operation. The vehicles can travel up to 400 miles at a time and are designed to help Royal Mail reduce their associated carbon emissions. Additionally, in the UK, Bio-CNG fuel can…
With local tipping work it’s all about payload, payload, payload. Alongside dealer service, Totnes, Devon-based Jeremy Bishop Haulage says that the extra payload the Iveco Stralis X-Way is giving them is the main reason for buying Iveco. L-R Will & Jeremy Bishop in front of their Iveco tipper fleet This means that the company has doubled its IVECO fleet by taking delivery of two Stralis X-WAY 26-tonne 6x4 tippers (AD260X42Z OFF) with Active Day (AD) cabs. The two 6x4s join the two 480hp Stralis X-WAY AD340X48Z OFF 32-tonne 8x4 AD-cab tippers which were delivered to the operator in May. How…
This is good news for the natural gas-powered truck initiative. If a haulage company buys the same truck again at the end of a 30-month contract, then it must have worked well. No small haulier can afford to be a charity or so altruistic that they are prepared to operate trucks that are not up to the job. So the champagne corks must have been popping in Iveco's Basildon HQ when the order came in from Preston-based H Parkinson Haulage (HPH) for seven 460hp IVECO Stralis NP AS440S46T/P CNG 4x2 tractor units. These trucks replace seven of the lower-powered Stralis…
