We are committed to providing our customers with the best products by bringing the latest truck technologies with a strong focus on performance and reliability to the market. We also aim to strengthen our presence by delivering excellence in our after sales service, working closely with Chakra Jawara, our partner in Indonesia.”

The IVECO TRAKKER is a versatile high-performance truck designed to operate tirelessly in all weathers and on all terrains – including the harsh off-road conditions typical of the construction and mining industries. Starting from the extra strong steel frame, every single component is chosen for durability. The proven IVECO Cursor engine delivers long-lasting power and resistance. This vehicle combines robustness, reliability and efficiency to deliver high productivity, and offers the comfort of a road vehicle on construction sites and in off-road missions.

The IVECO ASTRA range is the most specialized in the IVECO offering, with versions up to 63 tonnes. It is designed for the most extreme missions such as heavy off-road applications in oil & gas, mining, quarrying, heavy construction and heavy haulage. Every single detail – from the high-performance driveline and simple design electronics to the strong chassis and suspensions – has been developed to complete the toughest jobs on the most difficult terrains, always delivering the highest levels of performance, strength and reliability. All this comes with outstanding comfort and excellent driver ergonomics. A wide array of customization options, from the driveline (gearboxes and special reinforced axles) to specific market requests, is available for specialized missions.

The IVECO 682 truck offers superior driving comfort and safety in the cab, which has passed the ECE-R29-2 test. Features such as the extensive windscreen, which provides excellent visibility and the efficient braking system with ABS further enhance the driver’s safety. The spacious cab with high roof, air conditioning, twelve storage boxes and foldable upper bunk is conceived to provide driving comfort and safety. The driver’s seat, fully adjustable steering wheel and all the controls within easy reach result in excellent ergonomics. Customers can choose from heavy and extra-heavy high-tensile-steel double neck chassis according to their needs. This vehicle was tested in the harshest driving conditions, demonstrating its extremely powerful performance and strength. It offers the ideal combination of comfort and ergonomics, safety, high quality and performance, which translates into great stability.

IVECO’s product offering is complemented by a full range of after-sales services, genuine spare parts support and financing provided by its distributor’s strong local network in the country. PT. Chakra Jawara offers customers a comprehensive product support package designed to maximise equipment productivity and utilisation for IVECO products. The product support organisation of PT. Chakra Jawara consists of three departments, service, parts and training. All service personnel are skilled technicians who have completed IVECO product training courses.
