Stralis Active Day and Active Time: designed in the name of productivity

The development of the Stralis range was done by pursuing productivity as a main objective , for both the driver and the vehicle owner and the customer service.

The productivity for the driver
The daily user of a Stralis Active Day and Active Time has countless reasons to appreciate his vehicle. The good reputation of the Stralis Active Space and its close family relationship with the new models are aimed at enhancing the driver . The positive impression is confirmed as soon as you grab the door handle , well positioned and protected against soiling due to bad weather thanks to extensive aerodynamic deflectors , located at the corners of the front. As evidence of the quality of assembly , the door closes perfectly , without requiring the slam . The ease of access on board - handles arranged rationally , dais lit , wide non-slip steps , ideal ride height of the platform - provides security missions involving ascents / descents frequent. All this translates into a reduction of fatigue at the end of the day. Daily checks require a glance under the grille ( for coolant) and directly from the driving ( oil level ) . Any insufficient level of a liquid is clearly indicated on the display control .

Best driving conditions ...
All drivers are always an optimal driving position , regardless of their size, due to adjustments of the steering wheel and seat . The commands are grouped rationally and on hand to prevent any distraction to the driver. The controls on the steering wheel allow you to never take your eyes off the road . The control display , large and color , it is easy to read. Among the numerous information, please view the values in figures and analog relating to consumption , allowing the driver to optimize the driving to save fuel. Another valuable aid to economical driving , the extensive range of torque of the Cursor engines coincides with the area of the ideal efficiency . The high torque from low revs facilitates starting in all load conditions. The 16-speed gearboxes , with actuator , can be handled without any effort. The sound insulation and comfort of the suspension ( cab and chassis ) were given special attention and are part of the strengths of the Stralis . The high standards of passive safety the Stralis cab , add dynamic safety of the vehicle braking system EBS, engine retarder as standard, road holding and steering accuracy . The braking system of tractors adapts automatically to the semi-trailer, which eliminates the risk of so-called " accordion effect " . With modern semi-trailers equipped with brakes EBS, the quality of braking performance is optimized and braking distances are further reduced (up to 16 but 85 km / h ) .

And rest ...
During breaks or overnight stays on board , the driver benefits from a functional layout of the interior space : numerous storage compartments , sleeper convertible bench seat . Numerous comfort features make life easier on board: isothermal compartment , media bottle holder cup holder. In terms of habitable volume , the "must " remains the Active Time cab with raised roof , in which you can stand.

The productivity for the owner
The economy of operation is achieved by reducing the cost per kilometer through the permanent availability of the vehicle and decrease downtime for maintenance.

Reduced cost per kilometer
The Iveco Cursor engines , because of their sophisticated technology, comply with Euro 3 emission standards , with fuel consumption equal to or lower than those obtained with the Euro2 engines . The aerodynamics of the cab and interventions on the cooling system reduces the energy consumption for the vehicle's progress . The low oil consumption of the Cursor engines is well known by users for the past five years. The EuroTronic gearbox allows an economical driving style to all drivers . The tare of the vehicles is another factor which helps to increase their productivity .
The oil change intervals have been extended . For engines , between 100,000 and 150,000 km. For the change of speed, 300,000 km with synthetic oil. For the rear axle , between 160,000 and 300,000 km with synthetic oil. The duration of the details of the braking system are subject to wear is increased. With EBS , the duration of the brake pads can reach 300,000 to 400,000 km. The clutch is less subject to wear, thanks to the torque characteristics of the Cursor engines and the adoption of an automated gearbox .

A vehicle for each mission
The productivity of a range also passes through the possibility to dispose of the vehicle suitable for each mission of transport, both in terms of configuration of the frame body length and that of the kinematic chain . The wide range of models with two or three axles, steps, engines, gearboxes , suspension , tires and specialized variants can satisfy any specific use in all European countries . The low curb weight goes to the benefit of the payload . The side members of the frame without dimensions , proper positioning the auxiliary equipment and the presence of an electrical unit for use by bodybuilders , make installation of bodies and equipment more quickly and cheaply.

The permanent availability of the vehicle
The progressive launch of innovations has enabled Iveco ensure the reliability of each stage : first, the concept of the Cursor engines , followed EBS brake system and electrical wiring CAN- Bus. In this way, customers could immediately benefit from all the advantages of electronic management . Another advantage resulting from the phasing-in process concerns the technicians of the service network , which could be properly trained in the new technologies. A special effort has been made in terms of corrosion protection : 100% galvanized panels cab , engine entirely painted , protection against reactions between metals of different nature.

The productivity of customer service
The customer service starts with the proposal of the right product at the time of purchase and continues with the delivery of the vehicle and technical support during the entire useful life of the latter. To achieve these objectives , Iveco has a European network consisting of 2,500 points of sales and service companies , which operate at 20,000 engineers whose expertise is ensured by training.
In home health , the role of the Iveco network is to relieve the customer from the hassles of vehicle maintenance and to protect him against mechanical hazards of exercise. The electronic control of the organs and functions, it is possible to carry out routine and rapid diagnosis and precise in-vehicle without removing organs. Maintenance intervals are displayed on the instrument panel display . For the maintenance of his vehicle, the customer can choose between various types of contract , the one that best suits your needs.
In case of intervention as a result of an accident or mechanical failure , timeliness and quality of response of the service network can minimize the consequences. In this regard, Iveco has created very effective tools :

Spare parts warehouses spread across Europe
Call-center international
Rapid service road
Diagnostic devices Modus and IWT , designed to fit the electronic equipment supplied at the repair shop and in-vehicle assistance .
