The Trakker is the heavy construction site and off-road model from Iveco with a weight of 27 to 72 t. Outwardly it resembles the Stralis , with which it shares the cab and many other features. However, it has a stronger frame, greater ground clearance, different axles and optional all-wheel drive. Like the Stralis, it received a facelift in 2007. In Libya, the Trakker is manufactured under the brand name of the Trucks and Bus Company .

Motorization

Like the Stralis , it is equipped with Iveco cursor motors.

  • Cursor 8, 7.8 l displacement: 228–265 kW (310–360 hp)
  • Cursor 13, 12.9 l displacement: 368–412 kW (410–500 hp)

Cursor 10 is not available in the Trakker.

Drive / chassis

Manual transmissions with nine or 16 gears (ZF EcoSplit) or Eurotronic (ZF AS-Tronic) as an automatic manual transmission are available. Drive axles are designed as planetary axles as standard, normal axles are only available for special purposes such as concrete mixers.

The following wheel formulas are possible: 4 × 2, 4 × 4, 6 × 4, 6 × 6, 8 × 4 × 4 and 8 × 8 × 4.

Cab equipment

The cabs are almost identical to those of the Stralis AT / AD. The interior is a bit more robust and the instrument cluster is black and white in contrast to the Stralis. In contrast to the Stralis, the front bumper is made of steel, which is not noticeable visually.

Previous models

The direct predecessor is the Iveco EuroTrakker, which had the EuroTech's cab. The manufacturer himself likes to see the Trakker in the tradition of the "construction bulls" from Magirus-Deutz and the Iveco PA series further developed from Magirus-Deutz hood models. Magirus-Deutz was a commercial vehicle manufacturer fully integrated into Iveco between 1975 and 1983, which traditionally had a strong mainstay in the production of robust construction vehicles. Nevertheless, Iveco was unable to maintain Magirus-Deutz's strong market share in the construction sector and fell behind (at least in Germany) behind its competitors (especially MAN and Mercedes-Benz ).

The “ancestral gallery” of the Trakker from Iveco’s perspective

  • "Bulle" from Magirus-Deutz as a construction vehicle (construction period 1953–1971)

  • Magirus-Deutz "Baubulle", (construction period 1971–1993, finally on the market as the Iveco PA series)

  • Iveco construction vehicle of the T or P series (construction period 1977–1992)

  • Iveco EuroTrakker (built 1993-2002)

  • Trakker 450 with Magirus-Lohr fire department superstructure (year of construction 2015)
