Eurocargo: the evoltion continues

From first beginnings, Eurocargo was designed to be a leader - and since 1991, it has continued to set new market standards at every stage of its evolution.

Productivity for all applications

Eurocargo was designed to guarantee complete operator satisfaction, particularly in terms of reliability and productivity. As a vehicle, it is adaptable to any type of application or operation, thanks to a modular design structure that ensures all-round versatility without compromising design integrity.
 

Eurocargo range

The Eurocargo range was conceived to meet the widest possible range of operator and application requirements.

4x2 EL low chassis models are ideal for urban deliveries, for example - 4x4 variants find even the most challenging terrain simple because four-wheel drive is standard - whilst the K range has a differential lock, a protective grille for the radiator, sheet metal bumpers and easy-to-clean interiors specifically for quarry and construction work.

Who wants the very best chooses Eurocargo, a comprehensive range from 6 to 18 tonnes.

For road-going versions, the choice is between:

• 6-10 tonne range - trucks with gross vehicle weights (GVW) from 6 to 10 tonnes, and engines delivering from 130 to 210 HP.
 
• 11-18 tonne range - trucks with GVW’s from 11 to 18 tonnes and engines delivering from 170 to 280 HP.

A 4x4 off-road version is available too, at a choice of GVW’s: 7.49 tonnes at 180 HP, 10 tonnes at 180 or 210 HP, or 14 tonnes at 240 HP.

The cab range, wide by choice

The Eurocargo cab was designed to meet the needs of drivers and applications alike. The result is a wide range of alternatives:

• short cab, for day-to-day operations with no nights spent on board
 
• long cab, with sleeping area and a choice of one or two bunks
 
• 6+1 crew cab, for special applications such as roadside recovery, ‘blue light’ operations and construction crews.

Eurocargo 4x4 is a case apart. In both design and comfort, it resembles 4x2 models - yet high-set ground clearance and permanent four-wheel drive makes it an ideal medium-heavy off-road construction vehicle.

All cabs share the same easy access, with one or two wide steps depending on design weight. And when the doors are opened, courtesy lights illuminate the steps and the surrounding area.

Tector: a range of efficient, economical engines

Eurocargo is the result of an technical concept that focused in detail on every single component of the vehicle. A vehicle that delivers superior levels of power and torque makes life easier for the driver. It cuts running costs. And all this is made possible by its Tector engine, the real heart of Eurocargo.

All Tector engines adopt the common rail high pressure injection system, originally designed by Centro Ricerche Fiat, and then developed by Bosch. This translates into powerful performance, significant savings on fuel and very low exhaust emissions.

Chassis and suspension

Eurocargo comes with a comprehensive choice of wheelbases, allowing body lengths of 3845 to 10,070 mm. There’s also a versatile range of suspension systems: with parabolic or semi-elliptical leaf springs, and the option of rear only or all-round air suspension, managed by ECAS (electronically controlled air suspension).

Safety from every point of view

Safety is a given on Eurocargo. Features include:

• ABS as standard throughout the range; the control unit also manages electronic braking
 
• Engine brake with triple activation (standard equipment throughout, optional only on 130 and 150 Hp models); depending on the vehicle’s application, this engine brake is activated when the accelerator is released or when the service brake is activated by a pushbutton on the dashboard.

Ventilated disc brakes are standard on all the 4x2 models, including 12 to 18 tonne versions. And the rear axles on which the brakes are mounted are easily repaired, which means a saving in time and money.
