Iveco 190 Turbo

The Iveco 190 Turbo is a versatile heavy truck that Iveco built from 1981 to 1989. It came from a time when demand for power in countries with difficult terrain, Italy among them, led Iveco to fit turbocharged engines to its heavy vehicles. It belonged to the large Fiat and Iveco heavy family, and in Argentina and Brazil it kept the double Fiat-Iveco name until 1981 because the Iveco brand arrived there six years later than in Europe. Two engines were listed: a Fiat inline six of 13.8 litres giving 304 horsepower and a Fiat-Iveco V8 of 17.2 litres giving 381 horsepower, with a choice of a 13 speed Fuller, a 16 speed ZF or an 8 speed Fiat gearbox with a hydraulic converter. The chassis served 4x2 rigid trucks, 6x2 trucks with a steering, liftable third axle fitted as standard, and tractors for semi-trailers, with combination weights from 38 to 44 tonnes. Production also ran in Turkey, Argentina, Brazil and Libya. The Iveco TurboTech replaced it in 1990.
