Second picture it be a Iveco Acco cause when Iveco Brought International they replaced the International name with the Iveco name hence the Iveco Acco.

Iveco bought IHA a number of years ago, but continued with the International brand name. Early versions of that body (ACCO-G) had INTERNATIONAL branding, later versions (maybe from 6 years ago) got IVECO badges. Same truck, different name.

I think this is what VT is referring to

[venturatiger]

Yes , because of the angle of the shot can't see makers badge hence the ? as to whether it is International or an Iveco

Cheers Venturatiger

I ran the rego through the Vicroads Vehicle status check online and it came up as:

Plate Number : MBB338
Vehicle Make : IVECO
Vehicle Body Type : F UNIT
Year of Manufacture : 2004
Colour 1 / Colour 2 : RED
Transmission : AUTO

Therefore it is an Iveco.

No that truck is not in production yet. It looks to be nothing more than a concept drawing at this point in time.
