Iveco PowerStar

The Iveco PowerStar is an Australian developed and built tractor unit, assembled in Dandenong, Victoria.

Initially, the first generation PowerStar was very popular with operators who had traditionally only brought North American sourced prime movers, due to the fact the PowerStar could be sourced with the same driveline as their North American Prime Movers, but with the comfort of a European cab.

The second generation PowerStar, based on the newer European Stralis cab-over-engine design, was initially not available with the North American driveline, but the Iveco Cursor engine and EuroTronic II Transmission only.

These trucks are rebuilt Iveco Stralis, designed to meet European safety rules.

Dutch driver Gerard de Rooy won the 2012 and 2016 Dakar Rally using modified Iveco PowerStar trucks.
