Iveco 682

The Iveco 682 is a heavy truck and road tractor that Iveco has built since 2013 for emerging markets. It sits one step below the Stralis and is sold in Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and some South American countries, against rivals such as the DAF XF, MAN TGX, Mercedes-Benz Actros, Renault Range T, Scania R series and Volvo FH. It derives directly from the Chinese Hongyan Genlyon of the Saic-Iveco Hongyan Commercial Vehicle joint venture, a truck designed by Iveco from its own components and Cursor engines. Iveco developed it because its Stralis and Trakker models, made with Italian components, were priced too high to win share against Chinese makers in Asia and Africa. The 682 differs from the Genlyon in its V shaped grille carrying the Iveco badge, and uses the Cursor 9 and Cursor 13 engines. It was presented at the Shanghai show on 29 April 2013 and is built in Chongqing, and since 2014 also assembled from kits at Rosslyn in Gauteng, South Africa. The name honours the Fiat 682, built from 1952 to 1988.
