Pierre Lahutte, Iveco Brand President, commented: "
Iveco and the All Blacks are teaming up once again for a European tour and, this time, also for a gesture of great solidarity in support of Unicef’s work. We are extremely proud that our own champions, the New Stralis TCO2 Champion and the Magelys, Coach of the Year 2016, will bear the team colours of Iveco and the All Blacks in support of this generous action."
The
All Blacks “Emotional Truck” is a version of the
New Stralis XP dedicated to the All Blacks Team as a special tribute to Iveco’s great partnership with the three times in history Rugby World Champions. The vehicles’ livery was designed and produced by the CNH Industrial Design team, who devoted particular attention to the personalisation of the vehicle with the colours and graphics of the New Zealand team. The
“Emotional Truck” celebrates the advances made with the New Stralis XP, the most reliable and fuel-efficient truck on the market, designed to maximise reliability and reduce CO
2 and TCO. The completely renewed driveline, new best-in-class transmission, re-engineered engine, proven HI-SCR technology, the latest-generation GPS predictive functions and all the new features generate fuel savings of
up to 11,2% as confirmed by the recent TÜV tests results. The extraordinary TCO and CO
2 performance makes the New Stralis XP a true TCO
2 Champion.
As testament to the importance of this partnership with All Blacks, Iveco will also produce
a special Limited Edition of New Stralis XP TCO2 Champions bearing the team’s colours, taking inspiration from the
New Stralis XP All Blacks “Emotional Truck”.
