These are rapidly replacing the Sprinter in Australia

Optimum size is probably about 28ft. GCVWR goes to 23,750lb. GVWR is 15,200lb
They handle like the Sprinter have very similar driving and speed characteristics

  • I have seen a few Iveco trucks on the road here in the US but they are rare. Never have seen one of their vans. Diesel, isn't it?
