New ADAS functions & new styling

In a world premiere, IVECO BUS unveils its new identity, which symbolizes the capacity for innovation and renewal of this pioneering brand. The new logo maintains the strong personality of the original brand, born in 1975, which is reinterpreted in a more open and dynamic design with the new “energy blue” colour flash in the letter E. The energy of the new identity is also reflected in a redesign of the front end of the vehicles, which features full LED lights, a faired protection of battery on the roof for electric versions, and the brand’s signature with the new IVECO logo. The new style and identity are featured on all the heavy buses on display on the IVECO BUS stand at Busworld.

The new front face design also features the smart integration of the new ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) devices, which comply with the GSR (General Safety Regulation) regulation, ahead of its coming into force in July 2024.

Visual and audible alerts related to new ADAS functionalities are integrated into the dashboard, which features a new interface that facilitates navigation of the menu. The new ADAS devices on IVECO BUS vehicles include:

MOIS - Moving Off Info System, at the front of each vehicle, a short-range radar combined with a camera cover the entire frontal area to identify vulnerable road users approaching frontally and across the vehicle.

ISA - Intelligent Speed Assist: the front camera reads and recognizes urban area access and speed limit signs and cross-references this information with the vehicle’s GPS unit. If the speed limit is exceeded, light and sound indicators on the dashboard prompt the driver to adjust the speed accordingly. Finally, a twilight sensor automatically turns on the front lights.

BSIS - Blind Spot Info System, on the right side of the vehicle, 2 short-range radars allow the monitoring of side blind spots and alert if a pedestrian, a cyclist, or a mini scooter approaches the bus from the right side. This system is also available as an option on the left side. Information is sent to the dashboard with different visual and audible alert levels as well as on the LED bars located on each side of the windscreen.

TPMS - Tyre Pressure Monitoring, sensors on wheels provide real-time pressure measurements to the dashboard on a dedicated page and a buzzer is activated in the event of a fault.

REV - Reversing Detection, at the rear, a camera placed on the right side monitors the area behind the bus and warns of the risk of collision with a vulnerable road user. A screen located in the upper front panel slightly off-center or on the right side of the dashboard alerts the driver. It is also a very good support for maneuvers.

ESS - Emergency Stop Signal, emergency braking will be signalled by the automatic activation of emergency warning lights. The system is triggered by a sharp deceleration when the speed is over 50 km/h or if the ABS is activated.

DDAW - Driver Drowsiness Attention Warning, the vehicle features detection and alert functions. The system evaluates the driver’s vigilance and driving style by analysing their actions on the steering wheel and trajectory drifts, and alerts them when necessary.

ALC - Alcohol Interlock Preparation, a standardized factory pre-set to facilitate the subsequent installation of a breathalyzer (standard in France).

Cyber security, electric and electronic control units are protected by a mechanical lock and with a software-type firewall called SECURE GATEWAY to protect on-board computer systems from accidental or malicious incidents.

ADAS specific devices will be available on every delivery from first quarter 2024.
