IAA aktuell: Mr. Persson, what importance does the IAA TRANSPORTATION have for IVECO?

Olof Persson: It is an ideal forum for the IVECO Group to present our innovative vehicle, engine and service offerings. As one of the most important events in our industry, the IAA TRANSPORTATION brings together key players and the return on investment is also excellent.

How exactly is the Iveco Group presenting itself at this year's IAA TRANSPORTATION?

Two brands of the IVECO Group have their own exhibition areas: IVECO in Hall 24 at stand C10 and FPT Industrial in Hall 21 at stand D09. We are presenting exciting premieres, with unveilings during our press conferences and test drives. IVECO CAPITAL and GATE will also be there to talk about our innovative financing services and our business models that enable customers to use sustainable mobility.

What key innovations is your company presenting?

We are presenting some very important products and services. First up is the IVECO S-eWay chassis, a battery-electric heavy commercial vehicle with a range of up to 400 kilometers and a fast charging option for 200 kilometers of additional range in less than 45 minutes. Also presented will be the new eMoovy, a battery-electric chassis in the mid-segment of 2.5 to 3.5 tons, manufactured by Hyundai and adapted and distributed by IVECO in Europe. The eMoovy has a range of up to 320 kilometers and the fastest charging option in this segment: up to 100 kilometers of additional range in less than 10 minutes. FPT Industrial will present the XCURSOR 13-liter multi-fuel engine that can run on diesel, methane and hydrogen. Also on display will be a prototype of the XCURSOR 13-litre hydrogen combustion engine and two carbon-neutral solutions for heavy-duty vehicles: the CURSOR 9 H2 and the new N67 Hythane prototype. The latest generations of the brand's electrified axles for light, medium and heavy-duty applications, as well as battery systems for light applications, will also be on display on the stand. IVECO CAPITAL will present our comprehensive range of solutions for purchasing, renting or leasing commercial and industrial vehicles, GATE will announce its expansion into the German market and is here to discuss our pay-per-use business model for the long-term rental of environmentally friendly commercial vehicles.

Is there a key message you would like to share with dealers, suppliers and customers?

Our company is clearly driven by innovation, partnerships and sustainability. We are determined to use these factors to offer our customers products and services that meet their needs as they transition to new types of propulsion.

How do we do it? With more than words, because we have concrete solutions that prove that we are on the right path to the energy transition. We have been pioneers in the field of alternative drives for over 25 years and offer an extensive portfolio of mobility solutions with all types of drive. We are ready for any direction our industry takes because we have all technologies, from gas to hydrogen combustion engines and from battery-electric to fuel cell drives. With our 2024 model range, customers can choose the drive system that best suits their specific needs and applications. The markets are responding positively and relying on our quality, and we are pleased to present this here at the IAA.
