OFF-ROAD TRADITION heir FIAT



 
With this vehicle Iveco puts an era-defining means of transport back on the road "all-purpose vehicles that do not need roads" as an advertising slogan put it in 1951, the year the Fiat Campagnola was launched.
The memory of the legendary light military vehicles used during World War II still fresh in memory: the Willys proved themselves an ideal means of support and recognition. Inspired by this formula, the Italian Government has organized a competition for a special purpose vehicle. The history of Campagnola, an icon Fiat off-road vehicles, linked in the post-war Italy with that of the 'twin' his Alfa Romeo. Fiat and Alfa separately designed two analogous models, named militarily AR 51 (the abbreviation stands for "Autoveicoli Ricognizione da 'and the introduction of its reference number 1951) both with 1900 cm3 engines. For civilian use, Fiat chose the less aggressive name of Campagnola and Milan a 'rival' is called Matta (like the joker in a deck of cards). Only the Campagnola met with extraordinary success, while the Alfa 4x4 manufactured until 1955 with only 2059 units produced. The deciding factor in determining the price preference to the model Fiat, Alfa technology far more expensive, inaccessible to the public.
Campagnola D, designed by Dante Giacosa and constructed in accordance with the mold Willys, debuting at the Fiera del Levante in Bari in 1951 at a price of 1.6 million lira. He had a front-mounted engine, 4 wheel drive with front wheel off the engine and transfer case. In November 1951 across Africa from Cape Town to Algiers in 11 days, 4 hours and 54 minutes, overcoming every possible adversity, and setting a world record. The Campagnola, with petrol engine rated at 53hp at 5300 rpm, 4 speed and reverse transmission, (II, III and IV synchronized), lockable rear differential, central gearshift lever and top speed of 100 km / h with a gradeability of 90% (in the teeth first) and consumed an average of 12.1 liters per 100 kilometers. The body was 3.64m long and 1.48 wide and weighs 1.250 kg. Independent front suspension with triangular, springs, hydraulic shock absorbers and stabilizer bar. In short, the best available at that time. Rear suspension is by leaf springs with a rigid axle and hydraulic dampers. AR 51 military version was also adopted by the carabinieri.
1953 saw the appearance of 40HP 3200 rpm diesel version (still 1.9) offering 85 km / h at a price of 1,792,000 lire.
In 1955 came Campagnola A (AR 55) with a 63HP more powerful (116 km / h) and diesel 43hp petrol engine model in 1960 Campagnola B with 47hp diesel, reaching 95 km / h. Fiat off-road capable of carrying 6 people with more than 60 kg of luggage, or a person with 410 kg of luggage.
1968 was the turning point of the C Diesel: a 1895cc, 47 hp at 3800 development plan, 96 km / h. Production of Campagnola end, first, in 1973, after production of 39 086 models, the 7783 is a diesel model.
Summer of 1974 saw the debut of the new Campagnola, manufactured until 1979. Much more technically advanced it is also a model that is much more convenient: can transport up to 7 people. It was launched at the Salon in Belgrade and only have the name of its predecessor. He is a modern vehicle with engines already proven on the Fiat 132, four-wheel independent suspension and car body. Optional features included locking the differences on both axles and improved tires, dual front driveshafts rear seats joints and ventilation systems. 4-cylinder engine 1995 cm3 is estimated to be in line 80hp at 4600 rpm, 4 speed and reverse transmission, (synchronous), central gearshift lever and top speed of 115 km / h.

In 1976, "Lunga '(with rear overhang increases 25cm) and' Hardtop (with all-metal bodywork) versions were introduced.
In autumn 1979 Fiat replaced the engine of the new Campagnola with a new diesel engine is more suited for off-road: a 2-liter 60hp SOFIM provided at 4,200 rpm and guaranteed a top speed of 120 km / h. There are a lot of bodywork and interior improvements. List prices start from 14018000 15198000 lire according to the version. Production stopped in 1987 Campagnola.
The Campagnola held particular significance for post-war Italy and during the reconstruction in the 1950s. It is a means of transport that defined an era in a country still lacks adequate road infrastructure and is still alive in the minds of Italians. Used by the Carabinieri, the Italian army and Civil Defence Corps and also became famous as the Popemobile, the white model comes with the symbol of the Vatican. One used by Benedict XVI for the first official release in the crowd in the Piazza San Pietro is the same as that given to John Paul II during his visit to Turin in 1980 and accompanied the public appearances Karol Wojtyla who introduced - also thanks to the vehicle - a new way to communicate with people . Also in white, but with the UN logo, Campagnola has participated in numerous international peace missions on the continent,
TECHNOLOGY Campagnola



 
Iveco Campagnola has adopted the Massif off-road cutting-edge technology with a strong impression that apart from the Sport Utility Vehicle used mainly on metalled roads. A return to the origins of 4x4 that makes compromising between road and off-road vehicles a thing of the past. Like Massif, the new Campagnola is suitable for all terrain, capable of offering specific optimal performance and against the extreme off-road routes with confidence. The gradeability at full load 100%, with the angle approaches 50 °, 34 ° departure angle and path angle of 33 °. Standard depth of 500m ford, all-wheel-drive is disengageable - with traction on the rear axle - to ensure considerably reduced fuel consumption.
Transmission
The 6-speed FPT 2840 with overdrive is associated with the transfer case to the choice of 4x2 or 4x4 traction. It has 12 speeds forward and two backward.

Parking brake mounted on the outlet flange of the rear axle transfer box, resulting in a more powerful braking torque since multiplied by the ratio of the transmission. This is a very important feature because it means that the vehicle can be held by the parking brake at all the impressive gradients can climb.
Suspension
Separate chassis with axles mounted on parabolic leaf springs are the choice without compromise: a separate chassis ensures the structural constraints of off-road to avoid transmitted to the body structure, to maintain longevity. The leaf springs provide axle location and body suspension without the need for hard power or extra-braking reaction members or axle location links to the vehicle chassis. Parabolic leaf springs serve a double role of suspension from the chassis and axle location. Suspension layout facilitates the reactions to the engine torque and braking without the need for additional links or forks: a definite advantage for off-road vehicles. Front axle is equipped with double acting hydraulic shock absorbers, rear axle with dual gas dampers acting. The system is equipped with anti-roll bars front and rear stabilization. The maximum axle load front and back of each 1175 kg and 1750 kg with a maximum load of 2650 kg vehicle.
Braking system
