IVECO TRUCKS AUSTRALIA & CNH
upgraded ACCO that we are just introducing into the market is the culmination of the continuous evolution of this range over the years , its development driven by the specific requirements of customers in the Australian market with a continuous focus on quality . On top of that , we also produce a bus chassis specifically for Australian markets .”
All of Iveco ’ s manufacturing is done in the Dandenong South , Victoria facility , allowing them to produce everything under the same roof . The company also relies on a local supply chain that is very strong . There is a manufacturing hub in the Dandenong region and closely surrounding areas that supports the Company ’ s production . “ This very effectively allows us to be highly flexible in what we do , reinforcing our customisation capabilities and short lead time to clients . Having a local supply chain ensures that we can sustain these capabilities at all times ,” said Bozzola . “ We have about 200 local vendors that we work with . A vast majority of them are manufacturing vendors here in Australia . We have up to 80 percent of local components in our models , which is remarkable .”
“ The Australian market is quite special about its requirements , and our main challenge is to make the most of local design and R & D paired with our broad supplier and manufacturing base back in Europe . We try to merge these components to offer the best truck at the best price ; based on Australian specifications ,” said Bozzola .
