IVECO Australia will display its emergency services capabilities by showcasing an eclectic mix of vehicles spanning three wight classes, at this year’s Australian Fire and Emergency Services Authorities Council (AFAC) conference, which will be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre from 23 to 26 August.

Display vehicles on the IVECO stand will include the latest 7t Euro 6 Dual Cab Daily 4x4 fitted with an all-purpose service body, a dual cab Eurocargo ML150 4x4 with Bell Environmental body, and an 8x6 ASTRA HD9 with tipping body.

The Daily 4x4 features IVECO’s market-leading 8-speed full automatic transmission and independent front suspension for improved ride dynamics. With a 7t GVM, the latest Daily 4x4 offers strong flexibility for firefighting applications, including light tanker duties. Along with these benefits, the latest Daily 4x4 continues to offer an impressive range of standard off-road equipment including hub reduction to both axles and three differential locks as standard, to deliver superior traction off-road.     

The Eurocargo ML150 4x4 is a popular platform for heavy duty tanker work and in recent years has been widely adopted by firefighting agencies across Australia, where it’s well regarded for its performance on and off the bitumen. The model offers a powerful turbodiesel engine producing 279hp and 950Nm, Allison 3500 Series 5-speed full automatic transmission, a full-time 4x4 driveline with front, centre and rear differential locks and hub reduction to both axles.   

The third display vehicle, the 8x6 ASTRA HD9, demonstrates the breadth of off-road vehicles that IVECO can offer within the Australian market. Also available as an 8x8 variant, the ASTRA boasts a constant all-wheel-drive system, hub reduction and differential locks to all axles (three axles in the 6x8), powerful engines of up to 520hp and 2,300Nm, an easy to use 16-speed ZF automated manual transmission and generous GVM and GCM capacities of up to 43.8t / 70t*.
