Powering all Eurocargo models is the impressive Iveco Tector engine range. The Tector is an extremely efficient engine which boasts high output and performance while remaining fuel efficient.  Despite only displacing 5.9 litre, the turbocharged and intercooled powerplant is extremely advanced with 4 valves per cylinder and high pressure common rail electronic fuel injection. The combination allows the engine to produce upto 279hp and 950Nm of torque.  The Tector range of engines are also fully compliant with the ADR 80/03 or Euro 5 emission standards. They employ Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to reduce emissions and in turn deliver better fuel consumption to reduce running costs. SCR emissions control also has the added benefit of improving engine reliability and extends servicing intervals to reduce the cost of ownership.

The Iveco Tector engine fitted in the Eurocargo range offers:

• power ratings of 251hp or 279hp
• torque ratings of up to 950Nm
• remarkable fuel economy
• up to 80,000km (depending on application) oil change intervals

The Eurocargo comes with a choice of three transmissions depending on the application and model selected:

• Manual: ZF 9 speed
• Automated: ZF 6 speed
• Automatic: Allison 5 speed.

Manual: the ZF 9S–1110 is a 9-speed manual gearbox, available on the Eurocargo ML140, ML160 and ML225. The 9S-1110 is an easy to use and durable gearbox that delivers precise gear changes and total control for the driver. It is a synchromesh gearbox that makes changing gears and finding the right speed a breeze even for more novice drivers.

Automated: the ZF 6AS is a 6-speed automated gearbox available on the Eurocargo ML120 and ML160. The ZF 6AS series is a fully automated shift system which has an electronically controlled clutch engagement. This allows the driver freedom to switch to manual mode should the traffic and road conditions require it, and delivers quick and accurate shifting with the added benefit of improved fuel consumption.

Automatic: the Allison S3000 automatic gearbox is available on the entire Eurocargo range. The S3000 is flexible enough to work in a wide variety of applications, and is designed with close ratios for city streets and highway driving. It is also fitted with a torque converter which results in better startability, particularly on steep gradients. 

The Eurocargo is fitted with front parabolic springs and pneumatic air bag rear suspension with ECAS (Electronically Controlled Air Suspension) to adjust or maintain the chassis height. This is fitted together with hydraulic shock absorbers to protect the driver and vehicle from harsh impacts of the road surface. These combine together to give a smooth and trouble free driving experience.
