Haller Tuning has become the first aftermarket company to offer a wide array of upgrade parts to enhance and toughen up the Iveco Massif offroad vehicle even further in all areas to prepare it for use in the most extreme theatre of operations.

The Iveco Massif is a robust 7-seater off roader that is built in a joint project with Santana-Motor in Spain and is already on sale through Iveco's dealer network across Europe. It has been styled for Iveco by Giorgetto Giugiaro working with the Iveco Style Centre. It features all-wheel-driver, Iveco's Euro 4 compliant 3.0-litre engine (the HPI version has 146 bhp/350 Mn and the HPT has 176 bhp/400 Nm) both of which are mated up to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Safety is class leading and interior comfort options include SatNav, air conditioning to the front and rear compartments, as well as a CD/MP3 player.

Now the German firm Haller Tuning has created a package to upgrade the Massif inside and out. On the outside Haller Tuning has developed a number of robust components that aim to enhance the Massif's abilities. The stainless steel solid front bullbar which wraps down under the vehicle emphasises the Massif’s shape and appearance. The bars are also suitable for the mounting of additional floodlights. The 'elegant' door rails (which weigh 25 kg) meanwhile consist of two pipe frames, one with a diameter of 76 mm and the other of 25 mm, which together enable a convenient stepping platform. Meanwhile the rear protective frame made from 60mm stainless steel pipe which completes the styling and gives the Massif a strong back end. A steel powered coated full length roof rack is an option and to attach additional flood lights a stainless steel double frame can be fixed onto the roof of the Massif in front of the roof rack to optimally floodlight the route over difficult terrain at night. The external changes continue with tinted windows for the rear and rear side doors and new steel wheels to allow wider tyres to be fitted. Also available are 7x16-inch alloy wheels. A stainless steel ladder mounted on the rear allows for easy access to the roof rack. The external changes are completed by grilles to protect the front and rear light units from small stones.

Inside Scheelmann sports seats can be added for greater comfort, as well as with a new armrest, while leather upholstery can be specified for the dashboard, steering wheel and central console to create a pleasant room temperature in the Massif and lend an elegant atmosphere to the interior. The leather comes in four colours: black, grey, beige or brown. The plastic parts of the dashboard are then varnished in RAL colour and are also available with an aluminium or carbon finish. The leather option also includes the rear seats, door cards and A- and B-pillar covers. Haller Tuning also offer additional two seats for the rear load bay with the option of a quick release system or a permanent installation.

A new roof console allows the creation of additional space through a hinged storage compartment and a DIN compartment, e.g. for radio installation. At the same time the roof console offers additional interior lightning: reading lights for driver and passenger as well as lighting for the rear area. In the boot two new spacious storage boxes have a loading capacity of around 100 litres per box. They are quickly installed and removed and are ideal for storing of small objects; they lock with latches.

New aluminium underfloor protection covers cover the axles/differential and main floor section. Under the front end a similar material cover protects the engine from flooding in the event of the Massif entering water. Hide height can be raised from the 200 mm standard specification by an additional 35-40 mm thanks to a set of new springs and shock absorbers. The spring characteristic is softer, so there is a higher entanglement of the vehicle if it goes off-road. Due later this year will be a periscope to allow air flow in extreme conditions of dust or water.
