The Eurotech is a heavy transport truck produced by Iveco of Turin since 1992, being presented to the public alongside other Iveco vehicles in 1991.[2]
In 1992 the Eurotech range debuted, receiving considerable appreciation both in Italy and in Europe in general. Presented as a replacement for the Turbotech (1990-1992), it brought Iveco the International Truck of the Year award to Iveco in 1993, for the second consecutive time, after the great success of the medium-light Eurocargo.[3]
It was initially presented with six different engines, three different configurations, a wide choice of gearboxes and three different cabins.
Normal production ended in 2002 although a few trucks were still being built by leftover parts until early 2003.
