The group has made the global premiere of two new battery electric vehicles (BEV) - the 'S-eWay' heavy-duty e-truck in its rigid configuration and the light chassis cab 'eMoovy'. 

Moreover, a prototype of the Iveco S-Way equipped with a hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and a hybrid heavy-duty truck concept featuring an electric axle and H2 engine range-extender are also on display. 

FPT Industrial, on the other hand, has dedicated the exhibit space at IAA this time for a multi-fuel, single base engine designed with a common core and optimised to run on multiple fuels including hydrogen. 

A N67 Hythane prototype fuelled by a blend of hydrogen and methane is also on display, along with the brand's latest generation of electrified axles and battery systems for CVs.

"Iveco Group can truly offer a full range of solutions powered by all propulsion options; we are absolutely ready for whatever direction our industry takes because we have all the technologies, from natural gas to hydrogen combustion engines and from battery electric to hydrogen fuel cell propulsions", he noted.
