Robert, do you think some American RV Mfgrs will soon be building on the IVECO chassis?
Dominant issues are economic, imports have to deal with the 25% tariff on light trucks. Daimler uses knockdown kits assembled in the U.S., Ford and FCA have opted for U.S. final assembly with high NAFTA component content, as have GM/Izuzu and Toyota (Hino brand). FIAT can figure out how to produce their Iveco brand for our market, if they think the market is worthwhile. Same for Renault/Nissan or PSA, both big in light trucks globally but not currently in the U.S. market.
No they are not. More known for Vans in Europe, their are truck like cab chassis variants of the Vans though. FCA has RAM in North America.IVECO is part of the CNH grouping, quite a separate Company..
Renault Trucks does make a similar range of light, medium and heavy trucks, but they are owned by Volvo, not Renault. Renault Defence Vehicles is another separate entity.
Renault did produce a Heavy Van like the IVECO Daily, it was called the Mascott, but it was dropped and replaced by a basic truck when Volvo bought Renault Trucks.
Renault Trucks owned by Volvo
This is a Van produced by Renault/ Nissan and is used a Class C base Renault Master.
