Iveco

Iveco, the major European truck manufacturer, also carries the `International Trucks' name. As well as the heavy stuff they make smaller commercial vans such as the Iveco TurboDaily, available in 4x2 and four -wheel drive.

Iveco's efficient turbocharged diesel engines are much favoured as replacements for tired petrol ones in four-wheel drives in Europe and the UK.
