guarantees its customers the highest level of after-sales support worldwide and, through Iveco Capital, offers advanced<br />

financial services solutions for the purchase, lease or rental of its products. The Group operates through the following<br />

brands:<br />

Iveco<br />

Iveco is one of the world leaders in road transportation. It designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of light,<br />

medium and heavy commercial vehicles for on-road and off-road use. Alongside its main product offer, the company<br />

also offers after-sales and financing services, in addition to services related to used-vehicles.<br />

From the beginning, the company has been committed to safe, efficient and ecological mobility. It is the only producer<br />

to offer ecological diesel and natural gas engines on its entire range of vehicles. Iveco was the first full-line truckmaker<br />

to invest significantly in natural gas technology, developing components and optimized configurations for use with<br />

CNG. From light segment vehicles (ECODaily), to medium (Eurocargo) and heavy (Stralis), all products are equipped<br />

with engines that meet the Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Vehicle standard (EEV), the strictest emissions standard<br />

currently in effect in Europe.<br />

Iveco Irisbus<br />

Iveco Irisbus is one of the major European manufacturers in the passenger transport sector and is steadily expanding<br />

its activities globally, selling approximately 8,000 units <strong>annual</strong>ly in more than 40 countries. This has been achieved<br />

through continuous investment in research and development and the use of cutting-edge manufacturing technologies.<br />

Iveco Irisbus offers a complete range of vehicles for transporting people: coaches for short and long-range touring,<br />

buses for urban and inter-city transport, and mini-buses. One of the features that sets Iveco Irisbus apart is its<br />

approach to testing, which for years has been conducted in close collaboration with the operators of public transport on<br />

alternative fuels and new vehicle concepts, focusing in particular on environmental impact, passenger comfort and<br />

running costs.<br />

Iveco Astra<br />

Astra is synonymous with endurance and reliability the world over. Not even African roads or the most challenging<br />

desert conditions can stop Astra vehicles whose safety performance and productivity serve as a standard bearer for<br />

Italian technology around the world. The company, which was founded in 1946, has been part of the Iveco Group<br />

since 1986. It has behind it more than 60 years of experience designing and producing vehicles to carry out the most<br />

challenging tasks in extreme climate conditions. Astra builds vehicles that can enter the most inaccessible quarries and<br />

mines and move huge quantities of heavy material, such as rock or mud. The product range includes mining and<br />

construction vehicles, rigid and articulated dumptrucks, and special vehicles. The company is also strongly committed<br />

to reducing emissions levels for its vehicles and, on the production side, it seeks to optimize waste collection and use<br />

for the maximum recovery and recycling possible.<br />

Iveco Magirus<br />

For 140 years, Magirus has been making equipment to deal with the most serious emergencies: fires, floods,<br />

earthquakes and explosions. It’s story begins in 1864, when the business was started up by Conrad Magirus, chief of<br />

the local fire brigade in Ulm (Germany), who invented the first ever firefighting ladder. With many commercial<br />

successes and recognitions received over the years, the company is today a major player globally in the firefighting<br />

and emergency equipment sector. Iveco Magirus actively collaborates with firefighters from Siberia to Africa, and from<br />

China to Japan. It is through a close relationship with those at the front line in emergency response that the best and<br />

most reliable technological solutions are developed.<br />

FPT Industrial<br />

FPT Industrial is specialized in the design, production and sale of propulsion and transmission systems for on- and offroad<br />

trucks and commercial vehicles, as well as engines for marine application and power generation.<br />

With an extensive product portfolio (5 engine families ranging in output from 50 hp to 870 hp and transmissions with<br />

maximum torque from 300 to 400 Nm), and a strong emphasis on research and development, FPT Industrial is one of<br />

the world’s leading producers of powertrains for industrial application.<br />
