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 />
