Eurocargo delivers on considerable payload while retaining the agility to operate in environments where space is limited for larger vehicles. The 18-tonne GVW of this truck empowers this mission while a 4x2 chassis improves manoeuvrability in tighter areas. Its robust ladder-frame chassis was designed for a broad spectrum of missions, including specialist operations.
Both vehicles were supplied by Caerphilly-based Glenside Commercials to Radbournes Ltd., which has been testing the mission readiness of IVECO for many years. It currently has an 18-strong fleet containing nine IVECOs including 8x4 and 4x2 tippers.
The trucks are powered by a 6.7L TECTOR 7 engine, producing 250hp, coupled with a 12-speed automatic gearbox – a combination that meets the latest Euro 6 emissions standards. The cab features a three-way adjustable driver’s seat, dual fixed passenger seats, lockers for storage, and an infotainment system. The trucks also come with Electronic Vehicle Stability Control (EVSC), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), and Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS).
Chris Radbourne, managing director at Radbournes Ltd, said: “These vehicles play a vital role in bolstering our environmental sustainability, cost management, and safety standards. The IVECO Eurocargo we opted for provides lower emissions and greater fuel efficiency without compromising on our mission.
"We regularly supply concrete to busier urban areas, and these trucks allow us to keep a sufficient payload, but still offer essential manoeuvrability versus other vehicles. These traits make the Eurocargo a clear winner for us!”
Mike Cutts, business line director full range UK & ROI at IVECO, added: “The IVECO Eurocargo is designed to bridge the gap and deliver on the best of LCV and HGV in one vehicle. These Eurocargo perfectly showcase the near-limitless possibilities. We’re delighted that Radbournes Ltd. have continued to put their trust in IVECO, and we look forward to seeing them on mission.”
