The Viaggio G8 1050, designed specifically for charter and tourism operations, brings the advanced features of the Generation 8 series to a new market segment.

This new optional feature, the company says, allows customers to select a material that significantly enhances durability and profitability for their vehicles.

The public demonstration of the prototype took place in the town of Plattling and was attended by Bavarian State Minister for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, Hubert Aiwanger, and Professor Monika Schnitzer, who is the Chairwoman of the German Council of Economic Experts, along with two hundred guests.

The O 500 RSD 6x2 coach chassis is available in two versions, model 2445 featuring a 450hp Mercedes-Benz OM 460 LA engine and the model 2438 with a 380hp engine option.

Located at Vrachtwagenparking Ketenis, the hub has ten combined charging system (CCS) chargers which can be plugged into twenty trucks at once, delivering 400 kW of power to each vehicle.

With the standard tank option storing LNG, the Touring can cover more than 1,000 km before needing to refuel.

Models include LNG and BEV tippers and tractors.

The truck displayed at the show was a ‘Freightliner Cascadia’ 6x2 tractor unit powered by Symbio’s 400-kW ‘StackPack’ fuel cell system - developed for the “H2 Central Valley Express” project.

The ELON 3X BEV, a 3-axle, high floor intercity 13-metre electric coach is to undergo rigorous validation and testing processes in preparation for full certification.

4 Gen Logistics will use its new fleet of ‘VNR Electric’ Class 8 trucks in operations throughout the Inland Empire and between the Port of Long Beach and distribution centres in the region.

“The supply to Expresso Nordeste confirms the brand's growth potential," said Danilo Fetzner, director of IVECO BUS for Latin America.

The truck is travelling over 10,000 kilometres between April and July, making 60 stops in 7 European countries.
