Hiya Andrew can I take it that you are not a big fan of IVECO’s then? Well just for you here’s a shot of one of two long term demos we ran in the fleet at Bewick Transport over the years! Go on then if you insist Andrew here’s the later one taken on a Sunday morning in the depot loaded with 24 ton of Libby Orange C and ready to leave for the south!

hi dennis,
to be fair,i along with everyone else know that these days there is no such thing as a bad truck.to be fair to iveco then if the dealers are good and the numbers are right,then you can’t blame people for buying and running them.however,every time i have driven or worked on one,i have had the feeling that they are cheap and nasty and a world away from either of the swedes,cause for me,with regard to europe,there are only two truck manufacturers. :smiley:
regards andrew

Yea your right Andrew you get what you pay for and although I was never tempted with the Iveco’s at least we had the use of a tractor for 6 months for the cost of the DERV and the drivers didn’t mind driving something different for a while as they knew they would be back on a Scany shortly!!! Cheers Dennis.

cross hands based a.j.t. metal recycling run three very smart man’s.

Well i got to be honest i drove the euro star and the euro tech and they were great to live in 5 nights a week better than a R series scania i had. I know they had no re-sale value but M&G transport in barry done well out of them
