The story
Explore the ideas, engineering and context that shaped the Iveco Stralis, then continue into its specifications and place in the marque's lineage.
01
Replacing both the EuroStar and the EuroTech in 2002, the Stralis was Iveco's long-haul and regional workhorse for the better part of twenty years. Its engines were the Cursor family — inline sixes of roughly nine, eleven and thirteen litres — and its cabs came in three heights, from a low urban day cab to the full-height Active Space sleeper.

Two things set it apart. The first was gas: Iveco committed to compressed and liquefied natural gas long before its competitors treated the fuel seriously, and Stralis NP tractors gave fleets a way to cut noise and particulates on urban and regional work. The second was the Hi-Way version of 2012, which brought a redesigned cab and was named International Truck of the Year for 2013.

Built in Madrid, Australia, Argentina, South Korea and Russia, it was superseded by the S-Way in 2019, though production continued into 2021 in some markets.
