Iveco Stralis AD260S42Y – 26-tonne distribution truck with Active Day cab, 420 hp engine and steered trailing axle: 309 kW, 10.3-litre six-cylinder engine, gross weight up to 28 tonnes
The AD260S42Y belongs to the Iveco Stralis range, which replaced the Eurostar and Eurotech predecessors from 2002 and was built until the S-Way took over from 2019. The type code follows the manufacturer's logic: AD stands for the Active Day cab without a berth, built for day and distribution work, 260 for the 26-tonne weight class, S42 for the 420 hp engine – the model name FS 420 states this output directly – and Y for the steered trailing axle of the 6x2 configuration.

The register lists 5 versions rated at 309 kW with a 10.3-litre six-cylinder engine (10,308 cc). Kerb weight runs from 10,960 to 14,320 kg against a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 to 28,000 kg, length varies from 8,385 to 11,000 mm, and width from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
With a gross weight of 26 to 28 tonnes and a trailing axle, the AD260S42Y is built for regional distribution work with high payload, for instance in beverage and building-material haulage, where the day cab without a berth is sufficient and the third, steered axle provides manoeuvrability in tight yards.
When buying used, check the trailing axle and its steering, the turbocharger and exhaust aftertreatment of the 10.3-litre engine, the clutch and gearbox after frequent heavy use, the brakes and air suspension, and rust on the frame behind the rear axle. Parts are supplied through the Iveco service network.
