The Iveco Turbostar was an important commercial success for Italian
manufacturer. Thanks to its characteristics of strength, reliability and
performance, it achieved a significant position on the European truck market and
it was the most widespread industrial vehicle in Italy in the late 80s. It was
declined in numerous versions and adopted several outfitting to satisfy the
specific transportation needs of the users. The version with the canvas deck was
one of the most common version able to guarantee a great flexibility of
transport of all types of goods. Another great advantage of the Iveco 190.42 was
the loading capacity compared to the overall dimension. The payload / size ratio
provided by 190.42 was an important factor to perform transportation duties
outside of the motorways and even in the smaller urban area. Often an hydraulic
rear platform to make easier the loading and unloading activities was added to
the canvas version.
