IVECO Korea officially launched today the new IVECO S-WAY heavy vehicle for on-road missions in the domestic market.
The IVECO S-WAY is the first vehicle in the new IVECO WAY heavy-duty range. It offers a complete package with driver-centric features designed to provide a sustainable transport solution.
The successor of IVECO Stralis, which won two “International Truck of the Year” in 2003 and 2013 since it was first launched in Europe in 2002, the IVECO S-WAY was completely redesigned and equipped with advanced technology. In its development phase, it has undergone more than 100,000 hours of digital simulations and 4 million kilometres of test-drives over three years to ensure its high quality and performance. This new long-haul truck introduces significant improvements in performance, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and durability.
Recognized by its functionality and ergonomic design identity, that was newly developed by putting a top priority on the driver’s need, IVECO S-WAY has won the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD 2020 in the Automobiles/Vehicles Category of the Product Discipline.
The new IVECO S-WAY delivers an outstanding sustainable performance and further reductions in TCO, through low emissions and fuel efficiency. It also improves on-board living conditions and driving environment with a host of driver-centric features to offer an excellent driving experience and turn the vehicle into a “home away from home” for the driver.
“IVECO S-WAY is at the forefront of innovation, with its design entirely focused on the driver,” stated Jeongsik Choi, General Manager of IVECO Korea. “The IVECO S-WAY sets new standards in sustainability, on-board living and driving experience, and will significantly benefiting our customers’ profitability as well as their ability to compete for business.”

IVECO S-WAY: the sustainable truck
The company has taken every opportunity to deliver cost savings and productivity gains to the benefit of the owner’s profitability. The IVECO S-WAY provides a complete package of features without equal, developed with a focus on the driver, sustainability and TCO.
The entirely new cab features the front grill with high radius corners that IVECO has been introducing as a new element of its design DNA across the product portfolio. Every detail of the cab exterior has been studied with care to minimise air resistance. The new roof is perfectly integrated into the front end of the vehicle, presenting a flat surface that minimises drag. The front grille with high radius corners and side fins, the integrated headlights, the new bumper design with integrated deflectors, together with the new design of the wheel arches, create flowing lines that optimise air flow. All these elements on new cab design reduce drag coefficient by 12%, increasing the vehicle’s excellent fuel efficiency by up to 4% compared to the previous model.
