Ray Price, a director of Alan Price & Sons, explains to Biglorryblog: "I saw the Trakker on Iveco's stand at SED 2007 and was immediately impressed, particularly with the build quality and comfort levels inside the cab. "Our drivers treat their cabs like a home away from home during the week, which means it's essential to supply them with a vehicle with a comfy sleeping area and plenty of personal storage space. With the new Trakker, Iveco has really delivered a complete package, with the luxury of a double bunk arrangement and masses of internal storage, coupled with generous external lockers which are ideal for wet gear and bulky outdoor jackets."

The 32-tonne GVW Trakker is prompted by the 410hp 12.8 litre Cursor 13 engine, with plenty of grunt to keep it going over the roughest terrain. And the 1,900 Nm of torque won't go amiss either on tough tipper work. And what's so different about the new model you ask? Well amongst the most notable features on the new Trakker is the introduction of single-reduction Meritor axles, replacing the hub-reduction variants previously fitted to all EuroTrakker and Trakker models. This further improves fuel economy and brings Iveco's specification in line with the majority of manufacturers in this market.
The latest Trakker also benefits from all-round ventilated disc brakes, which significantly improves braking performance, coupled with simpler and faster maintenance, helping to further reduce downtime during vehicle servicing. Expected to remain on the fleet for up to 10 years, the new Trakker is fitted with Wilcox Commercial Vehicle's new U-shape tipping body, which is designed to help stop parts of the load sticking inside the body when the body lifts. There's lovely!
