IVECO and Vecauto participate to FILDA Fair 2024 in Angola presenting the IVECO T-Way

​​​​​​​Vecauto presented the IVECO range to the Angolan market at FILDA - Feira Internacional de Luanda 2024 with a dedicated focus on the all-new IVECO T-Way, the most reliable and productive heavy-duty truck to face the toughest challenges.

Vecauto is participating to the FILDA - Feira Internacional de Luanda from 23rd to 28th July 2024 to present the IVECO range and launch the IVECO T-Way to the Angolan market. FILDA has been by far the most popular fair in Angola for several decades. The first edition was in the 60s organized by the Industrial Association of Angola-AIA, showing the economic and business development of Angola to the world.

The Vecauto stand covers around 500 m² area and hosted more than 100 guests including local authorities, Italian Ambassador, press and customers.

During the Filda Fair Vecauto revealed the IVECO T-Way, the truck that makes any impossible job possible, with a dedicated show on the stand to present the heavy truck to the Angolan market. It succeeds the well-known Trakker model, improving it in every aspect, enabling Vecauto to market a winning product among the heavyweights. The IVECO range is represented on the Vecauto stand by an IVECO T-Way AT720T47TH Tractor 6x4, an Eurocargo ML150E24WS 4x4, an Eurocargo ML180E28 and the Daily 50C15E3V.

Filipe Mendes de Almeida, Managing Director of Vecauto commented: "The new IVECO T-Way represents the brand's ultimate example for heavy-duty tasks, combining great reliability with elegant Italian design. Among others, we also have the Eurocargo 4x4 on display, with unique transmission solutions, ideal for off-road operations, highlighting IVECO's high technology. These are certainly two products that will allow us to contribute to the development of Angola.”

Claudio D’Agostino, IVECO Business Manager for Angola, added: “In the perspective of relaunching the construction sector and the renewal of infrastructures in Angola, IVECO T-Way represents the right vehicle for quarry construction site activities. We strongly believe in the country's ability to recover and we are proud to be able to contribute to the renewal of infrastructures with the entire IVECO range”.

IVECO T-Way: the most reliable and productive heavy-duty truck to face the toughest challenges
The IVECO T-Way builds on the heritage of robustness and reliability of the brand’s long lineage of champion offroaders. It introduces state-of-the art technological solutions to exceed all expectations in productivity, payload capacity, safety and driver comfort.

“T” FOR TOUGH: designed and engineered for robustness and reliability
The IVECO T-Way has been designed to offer best-in-class performance in every off-road mission, robustness and torsional rigidity. It carries over from its predecessors the legendary robustness of the high-resistance steel chassis with a 10mm thick frame, with a Rail Bending Moment at the top of the segment at 177 kNm. The front axle has a maximum capacity of up to 9 tonnes.
Hub reduction on the rear axle is standard to maximize strength and performance.
The new heavy-duty rear suspension system for Tandem axles optimises vehicle weight and improves off-road performance with greater ground clearance and a better departure angle.
The IVECO T-Way delivers all the power needed for traction and PTO with IVECO’s reliable and efficient Cursor 13 engine (13 litres) that develops up to 470 horsepower.
The engines are coupled with the proven 16-speed HI-TRONIX automated gearbox, which now also features new functions specifically intended for off-road mobility including a Hill Holder function to help departure on steep slopes, Rocking Mode to help recover traction in slippery conditions and Creep Mode for ultra-low speed when idling; for the on-road sections of the mission, the Ecoroll, function that uses the vehicle’s inertia when travelling downhill enhances the transmission’s efficiency.
​HI-TRONIX represents the state-of-art in the automated transmission sector and delivers the perfect gearshift strategy for every application.
