Iveco Magirus 190.29AH Turbo

The Iveco Magirus 190.29 AH Turbo is a heavy general purpose truck built from 1982 to 1985 by the German subsidiary of the Italian maker Iveco. It is the German version of the Italian Iveco 190 Turbo but carries an air cooled Deutz engine. The French Wikipedia article explains the background. In the early 1970s the Fiat group took a 75 percent stake in the German heavy truck maker Magirus-Deutz, and in January 1975 Fiat V.I. grouped its truck and bus subsidiaries under the Iveco banner, which then covered Fiat V.I., Lancia V.I. and OM in Italy, Unic-Fiat in France and Magirus-Deutz in Germany. Most of the older Magirus-Deutz models kept the Magirus-Deutz name with a small Iveco badge on the grille until 1982, when Iveco became the only brand and the old models gave way to clones of the Italian ones, some of which received air cooled engines much prized by loyal German customers. After making a clone of the Fiat 170 and 190 from 1976, the German branch launched the 190.29 AH Turbo in January 1982. Iveco standardised the names and technical features across its range, so the vehicles are approved for all European countries at a technical maximum weight. The engine is a Deutz BF 8L 413F diesel V8 of 12,763 cubic centimetres giving 188 kilowatts, or 256 horsepower, against 380 horsepower for the Italian model, with a manual gearbox of 9 plus 1 ratios. The air cooled engines were withdrawn in 1985 because of their pollution levels under European rules.
