IVECO CURSOR 8 ENGINE

Key Specifications
The Cursor 8 is a
6-cylinder, 4-stroke diesel engine
with a bore of
115 mm
and a stroke of
125 mm
. It offers several power ratings, including
270 hp, 310 hp, and up to 350–360 hp
, with torque ranging from
1,115 Nm up to 1,500 Nm
. Torque is delivered strongly from low revs, beginning around
1,100 rpm
, and maintained across a wide band for easier drivability.
The engine uses
variable-geometry turbocharging (VGT)
with an intercooler, ensuring smooth and responsive power delivery. Fuel injection is managed electronically through high-pressure systems, with later versions adopting
common rail technology
for even greater efficiency.
Depending on the model and application, the Cursor 8 complies with
Euro 3 through Euro 6 emission standards
, using
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)
systems and optional EEV filters. Unlike some competitors, it achieves this without the need for EGR, simplifying design and improving long-term reliability.
Performance Highlights
Wide torque band
makes it ideal for heavy loads, with reduced need for frequent gear changes.
Fuel-efficient power delivery
helps operators save on running costs during long-haul operations.
Proven reliability
since its introduction in 1998, tested in both road and off-road conditions.
Compact and lightweight
for its class, with a dry weight of about
680 kg
, giving an excellent power-to-weight ratio.
Integrated braking system (IVECO Turbo Brake)
delivers decompression braking performance comparable to an Intarder, offering up to
310 hp braking power
for safe downhill operation.
Typical Applications
The Cursor 8 powers a range of
IVECO vehicles
, including:
Stralis
long-haul and regional trucks
Trakker
construction and off-road trucks
Heavy versions of the
Eurocargo
IVECO buses
such as the Evadys
