Iveco Turbostar: the background

The development of the vehicle prototype was accompanied by a thorough market research. A survey, in which over 2,000 drivers took part, revealed that when choosing a new vehicle, the level of comfort in the cab was their priority. Trucks of this model were handed to the press for road testing in the summer of 1984, and the first photos were published in the September issue of the Italian periodical Tutto Trasporti. The test drive results appeared in the same magazine in February of 1985. The vehicle received good marks, in particular, a high level of comfort in the cab and high performance of the power unit were noted.

Wing mirrors were electrically adjusted and heated. Besides, power windows, an air suspension seat, collapsible table, air conditioning system, fridge, microwave oven, cupboard and several compartments for storing road essentials were also available. The standard equipment included also two sleeping berths. Moreover, the manufacturer paid a great deal of attention to the reduction of noise and vibrations. Thanks to these features, the truck became a benchmark in its segment.

Trials performed in a wind tunnel enabled the manufacturer to create a cab with an excellent drag coefficient – 0.53. One of the exterior features was an adjustable spoiler on the roof. The standard colour of the vehicle was Silver Grey Metallic which had been available earlier only for an extra charge.

The maximum authorised mass of heavy-duty Iveco Turbostar tractor units varied in the range between 18 and 50 tons. It was possible to choose a 4 × 2 or 6 × 2 axle configuration. Vehicles were equipped with engines with an intercooler and a turbocharger. The ABS system was optional at first but later it became a part of standard equipment. The ZF EcoSplit transmission was also standard, it featured a small weight and noiseless operation.
