Iveco’s new Euro VI Trakker on/off road heavy truck is making its CV Show debut alongside its rally-spec big brother, fresh from a top 10 placing in the gruelling Dakar 2014 in South America.

This year’s event spanned three countries and covered 10,000 km across some of the harshest terrain on Earth, including the Atacama Desert – a place that didn’t see a drop of rain for 400 years and is so arid and inhospitable that it’s used by NASA to plan missions to Mars.

The Trakker Evolution 3 on display rides on huge Michelin 14.00 R20 XZL+ tyres, designed for extreme civil and military use, and was piloted by rally legend Hans Stacey to the finishing line. It powered its way through the harsh conditions thanks to its Cursor 13 engine which produces 900 hp and a peak torque of 1,100 Nm at 3,800 rev/min. This proved the perfect blend of high power, rapid load response, maximum robustness and reliability – exactly what’s needed for surviving the Andes.
