First generation (1991-2002)
First generation Iveco Eurocargo The first generation was designed by IVECO Design Centre (Neu Ulm) led by Leonhard Schmude with help from Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign. The maximum gross weight was 6-15 tons, and for models produced in Langley (in Great Britain) up to 17 tons. Both 4×2 and 4×4 (10 and 14 tons) were available. There were three Iveco engines available, in different power ranges: The 6-10 ton versions were equipped with disc brakes on all wheels, hydraulically assisted. The heavier models had rear drum brakes. They used four types of suspension: parabolic leaf springs, semi-elliptical leaf springs, parabolic springs in the front and rear airbags (in the lighter models), air suspension (for urban distribution). In October 1997 there were updates, focusing on the cab and the braking system. At the same time, production in Langley ended, closing the plant. Production was now concentrated in Brescia.
Second generation (2002-2015)
The second generation of the series, introduced in 2002, was designed by Bertone. It was produced in Brescia in Italy, Sete Lagoas in Brazil (from January 2005 onwards) and in a Ferreyra in Argentina, and also assembled in Venezuela. The maximum gross weight ranged from 6 to 18 tons. Both of 4×2 and 4×4 (GVW 10 and 14 tons) were available. The Iveco Tector engines were used in many variants.
