Iveco and Ford Otosan have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the potential co-development of heavy-duty vehicle cabins.

The “Legendary Package” is a special version of the Class 8 Model 589 range with retro styling and vintage Peterbilt branding inside and out.

The vehicle will be used to test its energy efficiency and aerodynamics, its ability to detect vulnerable road users through integrated ADAS technology, and the comfort and ergonomics of its interior fittings and cabin dashboard.

Stellantis is selling the facelifted vans, based on the long-running ‘Ducato’ line, under four brand names: Fiat, Citroën, Opel/Vauxhall and Peugeot.

Renault Trucks announced concurrently its own 'Red Edition' of the new generation Master.

The vehicle showcased at Busworld (called the ‘E-Civitas’) was based on a Volkswagen ‘Crafter, while the new flooring concept, called ‘Triflex Air 2.0 Flooring System’, is based on a structure made of aluminium and composites.

The ‘Permalite Apex’ is a thin 14-inch light strip which can be mounted in the upper corners of a dry box or refrigerated trailer, putting it out of the way of potential damage by forklifts and other loading equipment.

The new vans, dubbed ‘TGE Next Level’, will enter production in May 2024.

The 'Argo Series' cab was reportedly designed from the ground up, taking into account over 14 years’ worth of customer feedback.

The seat comes in three different ranges: Luxury, Comfort or Standard and comes with an optional installation kit.

The new CE Series buses will be based on the ‘International MV’ chassis for medium-duty trucks, with a Cummins B6.7 engine (providing power up to 325 hp and torque up to 750 lb-ft) and Meritor and/or Dana axles.

The T, T High, C, and K model ranges, as well as the upcoming battery electric ‘E-Tech’ T and C trucks, will come with new cab fittings and advanced driver assistance options compliant with upcoming regulations.
