The cab is accessed by means of three steps, the first of which is flexible and made of a special plastic material tested in the most demanding conditions. The steel bumper is made of three independent parts for easy, cost-effective repairs.
The robust double bottleneck ladder frame and special steel C section profiles up to 10 mm thick ensure outstanding load capacity, while wheelbases vary from 3200 to 5820 mm.
Ease of body mounting is guaranteed by the expansion module (dedicated to body builders for programming) and PTO (power take-off) arrangements, including connections and electric controls on instrument panels. The combination of these two features allows the control and programming of up to three PTOs independently. Electric connections for body builders are present both inside the cab and on the chassis frame.
Two engine versions are available with four power outputs: six cylinder Cursor 8 with a displacement of 7.8 litres rated at 360 hp (265 kW) and the Cursor 13 with a displacement of 12.9 litres, rated at 410, 450 and 500 hp (302, 332 and 368 kW).
The engines are characterised by a high, constant torque to make sure the vehicle can overcome all obstacles: up to 2300 Nm from 1000 to 1525 rev/min
What is more, Cursor engines comply with and exceed the requirements of the most stringent European environmental protection standards. SCR technology guarantees low consumption and less frequent servicing requirements.
The entire driveline is specified for the most demanding missions. The wide range of transmissions with three manual 16-speed ZF models is complemented by Eurotronic 12- and 16-speed automated transmissions, both with off-road mode for a more effective start-off under arduous conditions.
Steering axles are equipped with disc brakes, while drive axles are equipped with drum brakes to ensure excellent off-road manoeuvrability. The combination of anti-roll stabilisers confers remarkable stability to the vehicle even in the toughest off-road conditions with a high centre of mass.
The choice of suspensions is equally wide, with various combinations of parabolic, semi-elliptic and pneumatic arrangements to optimise according to the customer's needs.
Available for more than 14 years, the automated transmission has been continuously improved and new technology has been implemented to increase and further optimise vehicle integration. Today, it can be said that because of its flexibility and high performance this system is the ideal solution even for the most difficult off-road situations.
In addition to the Eurotronic 12 speed transmission, Iveco Trakker is available with a 16 speed Eurotronic automated transmission, the most suitable for prevalent use in quarries and demanding missions when an extra gear makes the difference.
The four basic speeds of the Eurotronic automated transmission are not synchronised. The entire assembly is compact and robust. It has two secondary shafts and is approximately 70 kg lighter than an Ecosplit manual transmission (allowing for more payload as a consequence). With a high torque capacity of up to 2600 Nm, it is capable of ensuring the vehicle performance excels, even in the most critical situations.
The electronic control unit is integrated and protected inside the transmission and constantly communicates with all the other ECUs and sensors of the Trakker by means of the CAN infrastructure, establishing the appropriate running strategy according to driving style, terrain and load and selecting the right gear under all conditions. A simple action is needed to make all the power available in case of unexpected events.
Software is optimised to ensure top manoeuvring sensitivity even on steep slopes and to ensure the right gear is engaged in all situations even downhill. The system can be switched to semi-automatic at any time by pressing a button. This means that drivers can shift while maintaining maximum driving agility for the trickiest crossings or on the most demanding roads, with steep slopes and heavy loads. As a result, drivers can concentrate totally on driving and are constantly informed on vehicle conditions on the display integrated in the dashboard. Ergonomics is excellent, because the manual control lever (the same as that of the retarder) is on the right side of the steering wheel and actuated without moving the hands from the wheel.
Eurotronic transmissions have two reversing options to select the most suitable one for the specific situation having the certainty of millimetric movements, indispensable when there is not much room.
Eurotronic automated transmissions have an electronically controlled clutch actuation. The ideal ratio is automatically selected to protect the engine from over speeding, reduce clutch wear and reduce fuel consumption and noise. Eurotronic keeps the engine running in low fuel consumption zones at all times.
