Napoli Transport delivering the goods with new Iveco S-Way

Iveco

R and A Napoli Transport is a New South Wales-based transport company in the business of fruit, vegetable and food deliveries.

Rocky Napoli’s business was formed after he moved into refrigerated transport from driving in quarries. He relies on his fleet of Iveco S-Ways to get the job done, recently taking on a new model.

Napoli has operated a number of Iveco units, starting with a Eurotech before moving onto Stralis models, the most recent of which was retired with over 1.1 million kilometres on the odometer.

“I’ve used Iveco trucks over many years and have always gone back to the brand – the trucks have always been reliable and performed well for my business,” he explains.

“The S-Way is lovely to drive and although it replaces a Stralis which had an extra 40hp, we’re not wanting for power – you can’t tell that on paper that it’s a few horsepower down on the previous one.

“The fuel economy has also been very impressive; that seems to be a trait of Iveco models, mine have always been good and the reliability is there – in this line of business breakdowns are costly.”

Napoli’s new S-Way features a 11.1 litre, 460hp / 2150Nm Euro6 (Step E) engine which is matched to Iveco’s 12-speed HiTronix transmission. It’s a strong combination that’s good on both power and fuel efficiency.

Along with its premium driveline, 32,500kg GVM and frugal fuel usage, the S-Way is well specified when it comes to safety features, with standard equipment including an Advanced Emergency Braking System, Brake Assistance System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning System, Electronic Stability Program with ABS (disc brakes all round) and ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation), Hill Holder and Driver Style Evaluation plus Driver Attention Support (DSE + DAS).

“Our drivers have always been complimentary of our Iveco trucks for their overall performance and great ergonomics,” Napoli says.

“The S-Way takes this to a higher level and the driver that’s assigned to the truck, Chris Leonello absolutely brags about this new truck.

“We go to Sydney Trucks and Machinery for all our truck needs, we’ve gone there for years, and the team always does the right thing by us both in terms of sales and support.”
