Engines were, for the urban version, a Fiat 8220.12, with 9572 cc and 203 HP, with an automatic transmission which could be chosen between Voith D851, ZF 4HP-500 or DB.

The interurban and articulated version had a turbocharged Iveco with 9570 cc and 240 HP, with a ZF 5HP-500 automatic transmission.

The buses were provided (depending from the sub-manufacturer chosen by the customer) with two different chassis length, 10.5 m and 12 m. There was also an articulated version with a length of 18 m. The bus was in service with numerous public transport companies in Italy, the first unit having been decommissioned starting from the 1990s-early 2000s.

The series was replaced by similar Iveco 480 class.
