IVECO TRUCKS AUSTRALIA & CNH

IVECO Trucks Australia manufactures and distributes light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles for the Australian road transport industry. Formerly International Harvester and International Trucks, the company has been part of Australia’s way of life since 1902. IVECO Trucks Australia is wholly owned by IVECO SpA which is part of the Fiat Group based in Turin, Italy. “IVECO Trucks Australia belongs to the IVECO brand, under Fiat Automotive. In this context, we are a small plant that is part of a huge worldwide

network,” explained IVECO Trucks Australia’s Head of Manufacturing Edoardo Bozzola.

IVECO Trucks Australia has a long and proud history in Australia starting in the early 1900s. Over the last 100 years, Australia has experienced remarkable growth and development through its primary and secondary industries. International Harvester, subsequently International Trucks and now IVECO Trucks Australia, not only built the road infrastructure, they helped build the road transport industry. They developed their

manufacturing processes and product development in line with the growing needs of Australia.

Its strong tradition of local trucks manufacturing is closely linked with the creation of the Dandenong manufacturing plant. When it opened in 1952 it represented significant investment into the Australian truck industry. It was a significant expansion of International Harvester’s Australian activities and was built in Australia’s post war expansion phase (even before General Motors Holden’s began supplying cars to the market).

The Company’s strong tradition has been granted even greater capabilities and potential through internal synergies. “Since the Fiat Group brought IVECO together with CNH, we are now the same entity, and we are finding huge synergies across all functions between our two businesses. We’re sharing resources, know-how and networks,” said Bozzola. “We also started doing some work for CNH here in our Dandenong plant. Just a few months ago, we started putting together tractors.

manufacturing plant in Australia like that is unique and something we’re very proud of.”

“CNH Industrial is essentially the bringing together of the industrial arm in CNH, which is agriculture and construction, creating a global top three capital and industrial goods company. CNH Industrial is ranked in the top three globally in terms of overall revenue and capital industrial goods. And the organization is very diverse in that it comprises commercial vehicles with the IVECO brand,” said Head of Corporate & External Affairs for CNH Ron Grasso. “It also has Case and New Holland Agriculture, the construction of equipment of Case and New Holland, as well as various

other arms, including an in-house powertrain engine manufacturing and design capabilities; one of the largest in the world, which is FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies).”

Dandenong Manufacturing Plant The Dandenong plant originally covered 34,000 m2 and produced 2,000 vehicles in its first year. Since then, more than 230,000 trucks have been manufactured; more than any other truck manufacturer in Australia. Today IVECO manufactures ACCO, Powerstar, Stralis AS-L and AD/AT models and bus chassis at its plant in Dandenong, Victoria. It is also the home of a large product engineering department that has

a facility for building and testing prototypes built to suit Australian conditions. IVECO Trucks Australia continues to invest into its Australian manufacturing capabilities with new product launches.

“We’re a bit special in that we have a single assembly line that currently produces five models of trucks, all quite different from each other. We go from the well-known ACCO, a market leader in the waste disposal business, to the Stralis, a very popular model in Europe which we import components for and put together in our factory,” said Bozzola. “We also have two

bonneted trucks which are designed locally, including the Powerstar which has been around for a couple of decades. We also now have the brand new roadtrain that we just launched this year, which has helped us to enter into a new segment that we weren’t previously competing in. The second is more of a restyling off our current ACCO model, which is the market leader in the compactor market. In terms of the restyling, what is apparent to our customers is a face lift, creating a more modern and aggressive look. But there is much more behind that. We’ve added significant new

elements, such as new suspension, new electronic capability control, as well as other additions and improvements that make it suitable for the 21st century. On top of that, we also produce a bus chassis specifically for Australian markets.”

All of IVECO’s manufacturing is done in the Dandenong South, Victoria facility, allowing them to produce everything under the same roof. The Company also relies on a local supply chain that is very strong. There is a manufacturing hub

in the Dandenong area that supports the Company’s production. “This very effectively allows us to be very flexible in what we do, reinforcing our customisation capabilities and short lead time to clients. Having a local supply chain ensures that we can sustain these capabilities at all times,” said Bozzola. “We have about 200 local vendors that we work with. A vast majority of them are manufacturing vendors here in Australia. We have approximately 80 percent of local components in our models, which is remarkable.”

“The Australian market is quite special about its requirements, and our main challenge, task is to make the most of local design and R&D paired with our broad supplier and manufacturing base back in Europe. We try to merge these components to offer the best truck at the best price; based on Australian specifications,” said Bozzola.

On Road Vehicles IVECO Trucks has one of the broadest ranges of on road commercial vehicles, offering versatility and flexibility, from the smallest van up to the heaviest duty




roadtrain. Their on road models include the Daily, Eurocargo, ACCO, Stralis and Powerstar.

“ACCO has been around Australian roads for over 70 years now, having gone through several designs and improvements by now,” explained Grasso. “It was originally designed for defence roles as a military vehicle. It has strong origins in hardcore military use,” said Grasso. “The plant and ACCO model were born together during the 50’s, and continue to grow and develop.”

Off Road Vehicles IVECO Trucks has developed a range of light, medium and heavy duty trucks for off road jobs. From mining, forestry and off road support, these vehicles are built to stand up to the toughest jobs. These off road vehicles include the Daily 4x4, Eurocargo 4x4 and Trakker.

Bus & Coach Vehicles IVECO Trucks manufacturers a range of bus chassis, from low floor city, to school bus, luxury coach and mining, IVECO has a range

of chassis built to suit a variety of client needs. These models include City, School/Charter, Mining and Coach.

“The complexity that runs through the Dandenong plant is quite high with so many different models going through the same assembly line. This pushes us toward continuous improvement in order to be able to manage this level

of complexity. Low volume, high variety production is a big challenge and we need to stay on top of that,” said Bozzola.

Product Time to Client and Customisation With the level of customization and quality that the Company is capable of and delivers, one might think that there might be long wait times

for product delivery. However, one of IVECO’s competitive advantages is their superior product time to client.

“There are two critical advantages that we can offer to our clients through local manufacturing. The first is shorter lead time to our clients. Having the factory here with readily available components, mostly sourced locally, we are able to deliver a truck to a client in two to three months, compared to an imported truck, where the time to client could be six to nine months. Our second major advantage that we have is the customisation of our products,” explained Bozzola.

Bozzola also went on to explain that the larger size of the Company’s products actually help protect their competitiveness: “The truck industry is actually quite different from the car industry in this regard. For one thing, the size of our products definitely differentiate us. This gives us a degree of protection from imported products because of the high import costs for similar products.”

“Basically, for every truck we make, we build to order. We rarely see the same kind of truck go through our line twice in one year. Every single truck is something different, something special. This is only possible because we customise all the orders we receive locally. If you were to import trucks at this level of complexity and personalisation, the truck wouldn’t be sustainable. Having the plant here allows us to do that,” said Bozzola.
