The new Trakker in brief

The quarry and construction vehicle market is extremely complex, because of the many
applications: vehicles with 2, 3 or 4 axles with or without all-wheel drive; a wide range of power;
trucks and tractors; light or oversized models; and special variants for special outfits.
Trakker is a work tool designed to meet every kind of extreme off-road mission on wheels
ranging from 18 to 72 ton.
The real innovation with new Trakker is mainly the new Stralis-based cabin, resulting from the
work carried out with great determination, in collaboration with the dealers and customers who
took part in the design, to improve its driving comfort and the life onboard - which is now widely
acknowledged as being vitally important to productivity and safety.
New Trakker is designed from the outset to meet customers’ needs and expectations, primarily in
terms of strength and reliability. New Trakker represents a perfect blend of strength, reliability,
and the comfort of new Stralis AD and AT cabs.
Adoption of the grille and badging, already introduced on the new Stralis range, provides an
improved platform for sign writing in the vehicle customer’s livery. The three-piece steel bumper,
an essential cost saving aspect of the Trakker range, is painted in a darker grey colour to match
the self-coloured plastic parts.
The new Trakker range is wider than ever. It boasts a product range, in both left and right hand
drive, that allows customers to tailor the product to their specific mission. The range includes 2
engines (Cursor 8 and Cursor 13) and 2 cabins (Active Day and Active Time).
Rigid truck versions are available in 4x2, 4x4, 6x4, 6x6 and 8x8 configurations with power ratings
from 310 to 500hp.
Tractor versions are available in 4x2, 4x4, 6x4 and 6x6 configurations with power ratings from
360 to 500hp.
New Trakker was designed to support body building activities through a wide range of
transmission and direct engine driven PTOs, electrical connections available both within the cab
and on the chassis and the CANopen data bus expansion module.
New Trakker reduces maintenance costs minimizing downtime with prolonged engine oil change
intervals (once per year) and through a quick and accurate diagnostics onboard. As for engines, a
feature of new Trakker is the Cursor engine range, a reference point in terms of torque, life,
maintenance and operating costs: they consume – in accordance with the various missions - 2 to
5% less compared to the already economic Euro 3 versions.
Whether it is required to operate under the most extreme off-road conditions or cover most of
its life on-road with occasional off-road excursions, new Trakker can be specified to optimise
payload and fuel consumption.
The new Trakker – like the Stralis - was designed to demonstrate Iveco fundamental values
towards excellence: Commitment, Reliability, Performance, Team Spirit and Power. Values
Trakker shares with the New Zealand rugby national team, the All Blacks, who in their history
have won more than anyone else. To confirm this value sharing, already celebrated by the new
Stralis, on the occasion of its launch the new Trakker was presented in black livery and bright
green tattoos recalling the unmistakable All Blacks’ feature.

The values of the new Trakker

The new Trakker was created sharing the same values of the most famous rugby team in the
world, the All Blacks, thus along the lines Iveco adopted for designing the new Stralis.
In addition to the four Iveco values – Commitment, Reliability, Performance, Team Spirit –
Trakker inherits the Stralis’ product value too, Power, to reaffirm one of the strong points which
distinguish the excellence of Iveco engineering solutions.
Power
For Trakker, Power means offering the extremely modern Cursor Euro 4 and 5 SCR engines with
a swept volume from 8 to 13 litres, power from 310 to 500 HP and maximum torque from 1,300
to 2,300 Nm. Efficient, reliable engines, with optimized power and torque delivery over a wide
range of engine speeds to ensure maximum power availability in arduous conditions.
Commitment
Trakker Commitment is the sense of responsibility for the customer’s business without forgetting
the comfort and safety of he/she who spends most of his/her time in a truck. The close family
relationship between Trakker and Stralis is clearly evident: highly ergonomic cabins, enhanced
driver comfort comparable with road vehicles. But Stralis customers are also offered a unique
design, because respecting who drives also means to offer him/her a truck in which it is nice to be
seen.

Reliability
For Trakker it means keeping promises: product reliability, durability and high safety standards in
every situation. Reliability for Trakker means also flexibility for body builder intervention
supported by a wide range of transmission, direct engine-driven expandable PTOs, easily
dependable body builder electric connections, and more.
Performance
Trakker Performance is supporting the customer’s business value. It means raising productivity
and reducing running costs. Trakker assets are optimised bodybuilder intervention, servicing
downtime, and consumption. Trakker’s new chassis electrical system improves flexibility for body
builder intervention and periodic servicing. Periodic maintenance time is minimised in order that
the vehicle spends as much time as possible working hard. Always a vital consideration is fuel cost.
Trakker’s Euro 4/5 Cursor engines return excellent fuel consumption. Team Spirit
It means working alongside the customer for the whole vehicle life: during the product
development, through the work of 2,500 skilled designers and numerous R&D centres which
involves the Customer in the design stage; during the purchase, with the support of skilled dealers
and financing solutions to meet all company needs; during the vehicle operation, through the daily
work of a 24/7 call centre and an efficient and widespread service network (more than 3,000
service points in over 100 countries).

Trakker: what’s new?

The latest evolution of Iveco’s off-road range, new Trakker, arrives to the market very much with
the customer in mind. New Trakker continues the proven development of Iveco’s well known
range of construction vehicles, built to meet the industry’s highest operational expectations. This
began with EuroTrakker, a very robust vehicle for arduous off road applications. The latest
evolution, new Trakker, matches the robustness with enhanced driver comfort and on road levels
of interior noise and driver refinements.
A key aspect of the operation of new Trakker in service involves driving. The close family
relationship between new Trakker and new Stralis is clearly evident in use of Stralis’ Active Day
(AD) and Active Time (AT) cabs.

Cabin Design
The most obvious distinguishing feature of the new range is seen from the front of the vehicle:
new Trakker has a typical design, developed by Iveco Style Centre in compliance with the needs
pointed out by the customers, because respecting who drives also means providing him/her with a
good looking truck.

The AT cab benefits from a new external equipment locker on the passenger side, in addition to
the current one on the driver’s side of the cab. The locks for both lockers are electrically
controlled.
Driver comfort is enhanced by improvements in the location of key controls: decompression
engine brake, hydraulic retarder, radio, cruise control can all be operated without taking the hands
off the steering wheel. Also the EuroTronic gearbox selector is mounted on the steering column.
Driving Comfort
All the controls are clearly visible and easy to reach in order to keep the vehicle always under
control in complete safety and comfort.
Given the efficient climate control system and the excellent soundproofing, new Trakker can offer
the driver a comfortable and safe driving also in adverse conditions.
With EuroTronic 2, a fully automatic gear shifting mode, the driver can concentrate fully on the
road and the load. Even if the driver selects manual mode, the steering column mounted gear
change levers mean that gear changing is effected without the drivers hands leaving the steering
wheel. Also new is a further enhancement for the automated clutch engagement providing
smoother drive take-up than ever.

Body building requirements

Construction site vehicles are basically trucks. The most popular outfit is certainly the tipper body,
but there are also some very specific applications, such as cement mixers that carry concrete
ready for use. Many have platforms, often fitted with handling cranes.
Clear from the start is the fact that body builder intervention will be required, if not for the
tractor models but certainly for the rigid models. New Trakker makes life easy for the body
builder with both electrical and mechanical provision for the body building process.
Body building activities supported by product features of new Trakker as follows:
• a range of transmission and direct engine driven PTOs are available for customers to
order. With the body builder expansion module up to 3 PTOs can be controlled and programmed
for specific engine speed options to suit each PTO;
• for customers wishing to have PTOs fitted that are not available to order, a PTO
management facility is available which provides the necessary controls and electrical relays
mounted inside the vehicle cab;
• body builders electrical connections are provided both within the cab and on the chassis
frame to provide power for body lights and accessories;
• a feature of the expansion module is to provide an ISO 11898 CANopen data bus for
exchange of data if required.
A new chassis electrical system improves flexibility for body builder intervention and periodic
servicing. An electronic expansion module is included in the vehicle data bus providing a data bus
specifically for the body builder.
Minimised running costs
Periodic Maintenance
New Trakker reduces maintenance costs minimizing downtime with prolonged engine oil change
intervals (once per year) and through a quick and accurate diagnostics onboard. Periodic
maintenance of new Trakker is assisted by the EasyMux electrical architecture. This system
provides for optimised communication of all the major components and vehicle systems using
much simpler electrical wiring, reduced number of cables, fuses and relays. Resulting in rapid and
accurate fault diagnosis - should the need arise - in order that the vehicle spends as much time as
possible working hard.
Fuel consumption
Always a vital consideration is fuel cost. Iveco cannot influence fuel price but new Trakker - in
either Euro 4 or Euro 5 engine emission level - does return excellent fuel consumption thanks to
the advanced combustion system employed by the Cursor engines and the SCR exhaust after
treatment which allows the engine to be tuned for power and economy. Cursor Euro 4/5 engines
are a reference point in terms of torque, life, maintenance and operating costs: they consume 2 to
5% less compared to the already economic Euro 3 versions.

Range wider than ever

The quarry and construction vehicle market is extremely complex, because of the many
applications: vehicles with 2, 3 or 4 axles with or without all-wheel drive; a wide range of power
deliveries; trucks and tractors; models designed for limited off road use or full off road and special
variants for specific applications.
New Trakker boasts a product range, in both left and right hand drive, wider than ever before
allowing customers to tailor the product to their specific mission. As before the lighter range,
designed for on/off highway under legally controlled vehicle operating weight conditions and the
heavy range designed for substantial off road conditions demanding an exceedingly robust chassis
and running gear construction.
New for Trakker are single reduction drive axles fitted with disc brakes, bringing all wheel disc
brakes to new Trakker representing further savings in operating costs, and the availability of the
hub reduction axles with a new heavy duty pneumatic suspension.
New Trakker configurations
The rigid range comprises vehicles of 2, 3 and 4 axles.
The 2 axle rigid versions in 4x2 configuration are available with the Cursor 8 engine at power
ratings of 330hp and 360hp and the Cursor 13 engine at 410hp and 450hp. This is mirrored by the
4x4 configuration in which the 310hp version of the Cursor 8 engine is added to meet specific
utility requirements.
The 3 axle rigid versions in 6x4 configuration are targeted for general on and off road applications
and for specific concrete mixer application. The Cursor 8 engine is available at 330hp and 360hp
and the Cursor 13 engine is available with power ratings of 410hp and 450hp. The Cursor 13
engine rated at 500hp is available for heavy duty off road applications. The 6x6 configuration is
available with the Cursor 8 engine rated at 360hp and the Cursor 13 engine rated at 410 and
450hp.
The 4 axle rigid versions in 8x4 configuration, are again targeted for general on and off road
applications and for specific concrete mixer application.
The Cursor 8 engine is available at 360hp and the Cursor 13 engine is available with power ratings
of 410hp and 450hp. The 8x8 configuration is available at the single engine rating of 500hp with the
Cursor 13 engine.
The tractor range comprises vehicles of 2 and 3 axles.
The 2 axle tractor versions in 4x2 configuration are available with the Cursor 8 engine at a power
rating of 360hp and the Cursor 13 engine at 410, 450 and 500hp. The 4x4 tractor configuration is
available with the Cursor 13 engine rated at 410 and 450hp.
The 3 axle tractor versions in 6x4 configuration are available with the Cursor 13 engine at 410,
450 and 500hp. The 6x6 tractor configuration is available with the Cursor 13 engine rated at 410
and 450hp.
The range is available with the AD cab and - subject to a few restrictions - the AT sleeper cab.

Braking system
All non driven Iveco front axles are fitted with disc brakes and Iveco rear axles of the hub-
reduction type, providing excellent off-road tractability, are fitted with drum brakes. Meritor
single-reduction axles are used for the lighter on/off road 6x4 and 8x4 models and feature disc
brakes giving those models disc brakes all round. Front axle platings range from 8ton to 9ton.
All engine variants retain the Iveco decompression engine brake and, for the Cursor 13 – 410
engine, the new CEB (Compression Engine Brake) has been adopted. This is a constant counter
pressure engine brake providing enhanced levels of engine brake performance
Suspensions
Steel parabolic and multileaf road springs are carry over as is the light duty on/off road air
suspension used on 6x4 and 8x4 models. A new air suspension system for heavier duty off road
applications in combination with the Iveco hub-reduction axle bogie for 6x4 and 8x4 applications.
Suspension anti-roll stabilisers are available to suit a wide range of centre of mass heights to
ensure a high degree of vehicle stability even for arduous off-road conditions.
Model naming New
Trakker has model naming clearly identifying the vehicle product
specification. This is derived as follows:

Engine and transmissions

The Cursor 8 and 13 engines are retained for new Trakker, some versions with increased power
ratings, culminating in the 500 hp version for the highest operating weights. All versions are
equipped with the Cursor decompression engine brake but there is a new Combined Engine Brake
introduced on the 410 hp Cursor 13 engine to give enhanced performance.
The transmission line up for new Trakker includes the 12 speed EuroTronic 2 automated
transmission with steering column mounted gear change controls and ZF Ecosplit 16 speed
transmissions with servoshift and the ZF Ecomid 9 speed transmissions on 310 and 330 hp
engines.

Lasting torque, immediately dependable

A common feature of the Cursor engine range is to have maximum engine power and torque over
a wide range of engine speeds. A feature of the variable geometry turbocharger is to provide for a
very high engine toque at low engine speeds which can be maintained of a wide portion of the
useful engine speed range. Similarly, the rated engine power occurs well before the rated engine
speed and is maintained up to the rated engine speed. This provides excellent truck performance
characteristics allowing gear up-shifting under arduous conditions to be made with the engine
capable of still developing its maximum power.

All Cursor engines are certified and available meeting either Euro 4 or Euro 5 exhaust emission
limits. In either case the engines exploit the Selective Catalytic Reduction exhaust after treatment
ensuring optimum vehicle fuel consumption.
Powerful and reliable, Cursor engines have been designed to ensure not only excellent
performance, but also low running costs, in addition to a higher driving comfort given their
exceptional flexibility.
