The Iveco Turbostar was an important commercial success for the Italian manufacturer. Thanks to its characteristics of strength, reliability and performance, it achieved a significant position on the European truck market and it was the most widespread industrial vehicle in Italy in the late 80s. It was declined in numerous versions and adopted several outfittings to satisfy the specific transportation needs of users. The version with the canvas deck was one of the most common versions, able to guarantee great flexibility of transport of all types of goods. Another great advantage of the Iveco 190.42 was the loading capacity compared to the overall dimensions. The payload/size ratio provided by the 190.42 was an important factor to perform transportation duties outside of motorways and even in smaller urban areas. Often a hydraulic rear platform was added to the canvas version to make loading and unloading activities easier. The Turbostar enjoyed considerable commercial success thanks to the two-axle "road tractor" version, a feature which became a reference point for road transport in the 1980s. The wide range of engines available also ensured that the vehicle performed its industry tasks exceptionally well over all distances. Among the many versions produced, the famous 190.48 was equipped with a powerful 480 HP engine which delivered impressive performance levels.
