Brand history
Iveco was founded on January 1, 1975, following the merger of five European companies: Fiat Veicoli Industriali, OM, Lancia Veicoli Speciali, Unic, and Magirus-Deutz. (iveco.com) This union allowed Iveco to streamline its product range, manufacturing plants, and sales network while retaining the original brands. In the early years, Iveco's lineup included 200 base models and 600 versions, ranging from light vehicles with a GVW of 2.7 tons to heavy vehicles over 40 tons, as well as buses and engines. (en.wikipedia.org) In 1986, Iveco established a joint venture with Ford, Iveco Ford Truck Ltd, holding a 52% stake, to produce and sell commercial vehicles in Europe.
