Iveco Bus Afriway

The Iveco Bus Afriway is a suburban bus built since 2015 by Iveco Bus at Rosslyn in Gauteng, South Africa, for the South African market and neighbouring countries such as Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique. It is based on the Iveco Eurocargo Euromidi 180E28 chassis of 18 tonnes in its two axle form, with a six cylinder Iveco Tector engine of 280 horsepower to Euro 3 standard, and carries a Dubigeon-Iveco body. It is offered as a 12.3 metre 4x2 with a manual or automatic gearbox and as a 14 metre 6x2. The bus is assembled at the Iveco South Africa Works site, formerly of the Larimar Group, which is a joint venture with Iveco on a 40 to 60 split. Its suspension is reinforced and tuned for African conditions, and the engine sits above the front axle, which improves weight distribution and payload. The gearbox is a nine speed manual ZF or an automatic Voith DIWA, and the vehicles are assembled from kits sent from the Iveco plant at Brescia.
