Iveco X-Way: construction trucks, engines, and trims
Iveco X-Way — a truck designed for construction and quarry work, evolved from the Stralis X-Way. We look at cab and axle configurations, engines, and what to check when buying a used X-Way.
X-Way in brief
Iveco X-Way — a series of heavy-duty trucks for construction, quarry work, and road maintenance. It evolved from the Stralis X-Way and has been sold as a separate X-Way line since 2020, designed for both on-road and off-road work.
You'll often find dump trucks, concrete mixers, crane-equipped trucks, and container haulers. These trucks operate in tough conditions, so their condition in the used market can vary greatly.
Trims — what sets them apart
The X-Way comes with several types of cabs — from day cabs to sleeper cabs, as well as various axle configurations: from 4x2 to 8x4 (most commonly 6x4 and 8x4). For dump trucks and concrete mixers, three or four-axle versions are usually chosen.
There's also a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine option, which is crucial for companies looking to reduce emissions. The driver's workspace is designed for long hours and frequent entry and exit.
Engines and transmissions
The most common engines are Iveco Cursor family diesels (Cursor 9, 11, and 13) in various power outputs, and some versions feature a CNG engine. The number in the name indicates the approximate horsepower.
Gearboxes are usually automated Hi-Tronix, but manual versions are also available. For heavy-duty off-road work, it's crucial to check the differential and the condition of the gearbox oil.
What to check when buying a used X-Way
Construction trucks work hard, so first check the frame, axle mounts, suspension, and body condition. For a tipper, check the hydraulic lifting mechanism, cylinders, and body angles.
Check if it has been used in heavy off-road conditions, as this will likely wear out the differential, axles, and drivetrain. Verify the hours and working time via the tachograph data and service records.
In Euro 6 engines, check the AdBlue system and particulate filter, and in the methane version, check the gas cylinders and their inspection deadlines. Also, evaluate the brakes and tyre wear.
Trims and versions
Trims and versions vary by market and year; below are the most commonly found versions.

Frequently asked questions
How does the X-Way differ from the Stralis and S-Way?
The X-Way is suited to construction and light off-road use, while the Stralis and S-Way are primarily designed for long-haul journeys and road transport.
Is the X-Way suitable for off-road driving?
It's designed for work on construction sites and quarries, but for tough off-road conditions, the T-Way is a better choice. Always check the specific version's intended use.
What do the numbers in the tractor unit's name mean?
The listed maximum weight and engine power are usually stated. For precise information, please refer to the documentation and the seller.
