The first new Iveco Stralis Active Space Super tractor units to enter operation with West Yorkshire-based Bedfords Transport have been given the ‘thumbs up’ by drivers.

Each of the new vehicles will be finished in Bedfords Transport’s new livery, with the Stralis AS Super cab offering drivers 20 per cent more internal space (+95 mm in height, +90 mm in depth, allowing for a total increase of 1.8m³) than the previous AS model Stralis. As one of the most spacious two-man high-roof cabs available on the market, they also benefit from a heated and air-suspended driver’s seat offering four separate comfort level settings and a flat floor covering the living area of the cab, together with a slide-out fridge, air-conditioning, door roller blinds and an electrically operated roof-vent and windscreen blind.

Power is provided by Iveco’s 10.3 litre Cursor 10 engine (Euro 5), which is capable of producing up to 450 hp between 1,550 and 2,100 rev/min and up to 2,100 Nm of torque between 1,050 and 1,550 rev/min, driven through a twelve speed EuroTronic gearbox which offers either fully or semi-automated shifts.
