en.Wedoany.com Reported - Iveco has delivered an S-eWay Rígido fully electric heavy-duty truck to logistics company Disfrimur for intercity distribution tasks between Murcia and Alicante. The vehicle was delivered through dealer Ginés Huertas Industriales and is equipped with a 100% electric drive system, designed specifically for urban and regional distribution scenarios.
On routes with variable traffic and frequent start-stop conditions, the electric system's instant torque delivery and gear-free operation demonstrate advantages when driving fully loaded, particularly suited to the stop-and-go demands of urban environments. The vehicle's e-Axle integrates two three-phase AC motors directly into the axle, improving power transmission efficiency and reducing mechanical losses. The combined motors deliver a maximum power of 840 kW, with peak wheel torque reaching 45,000 Nm.
The energy recovery system converts kinetic energy into electricity during braking or coasting, with a maximum regenerative power of 150 kW. The battery pack uses NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology, and the chassis was designed from the outset with a modular configuration, with battery packs mounted on both sides and a structural thickness of 7.7 mm. The battery position can be shifted rearward on the chassis to free up space for body components such as crane outriggers or additional hydraulic systems.
The standard version is equipped with five battery packs, while the seven-battery variant offers a range of up to 400 km, designed for missions requiring maximum range. A four-battery version is also available, freeing up space on the right side of the chassis for installing lifting equipment, side-loading collectors, or technical cabinets. The vehicle supports charging power of up to 350 kW, allowing the five-battery configuration to charge from 20% to 80% in approximately 45 minutes.
The S-eWay Rígido offers different chassis height configurations, such as ON and ON+, to adapt to various tasks ranging from urban distribution to municipal waste collection. The vehicle can power auxiliary equipment via an electric power take-off (ePTO), including a low-voltage ePTO for low-power devices, a mechanical ePTO for driving hydraulic systems, and a high-voltage ePTO delivering 380 V three-phase AC (configurable at 50 or 60 Hz), which can directly power refrigeration systems on refrigerated trucks without the need for an intermediate inverter.
The electric system operates quietly and without vibration, improving driver comfort in urban areas or during noise-sensitive hours. The cab layout is similar to that of diesel and natural gas versions, making it easy for drivers to adapt. The vehicle integrates advanced telematics services, allowing monitoring of vehicle status, energy consumption analysis, route planning, and charging management through the Iveco ON application.
