Iveco
has recently been awarded with two prestigious
international distinctions: in China, the new Naveco
Chaoyue truck was awarded “Truck of the Year China
2013”, while in Brazil, the Iveco Tector Attack received
the AutoData Award in the truck category.
These recognitions join
the recent “International Truck of the Year 2013”
win for the New Stralis Hi-Way, which was recognized by
the 25 leading commercial vehicle magazines as the heavy
vehicle that “has made the greatest contribution to road
transport efficiency from several different perspectives
including: fuel economy; safety; driveability; comfort
and a low-environmental ‘footprint’”.
“Truck of the
Year China 2013” at the Guangzhou Motor Show
In Guangzhou, China,
at the annual Guangzhou Motor Show, the Naveco Chaoyue
light truck won the “Truck of the Year China 2013”
title. The truck is the result of a joint-venture
between Iveco and Nanjing Automotive Corporation. The
award presented by “China Automotive News”, one of the
country’s most important automotive news agencies, was
conferred by a jury comprised of specialists from the
automotive and logistics sectors, university scholars
and researchers.
A series of tests were
conducted on the vehicle by researchers from the China
Automotive Engineering Research Institute to assess its
technology, ergonomics, aesthetics and maneuverability.
Thanks to its FPT F1C engine and its other innovative
technologies, the Naveco Chaoyue was recognised for its
excellent performance with regards to power, brake
system, acceleration, speed and low noise emission
compared to the seven competing models.
The Iveco
Tector Attack named “Best Vehicle Truck” in Brazil
In Brazil, Iveco was
recognised for the seventh time since 2007 with the
AutoData Award for “Best Truck of the Year”, one of the
Brazilian automotive sector’s most important honours
conferred by the AutoData publishing group, which
consists of the specialized automotive industry
magazines AutoData, Transpodata and AutoData Agency.
The Iveco Tector
Attack was awarded Best Truck in the medium commercial
vehicle range for both its quality and technology
features. Available in 4x2 and 4x4 versions, the vehicle
unites strength, durability and economy, with Total Cost
of Ownership, thus making it an excellent mobility
solution in its class.
The AutoData award is
presented annually to automakers and their distributors
since 2000. Award finalists are voted by the public and
then assessed by the audience participating in the
AutoData Perspectives Seminar, who then elects the
winners.
