In this paper we have presented an overview of the application of plastic materials in Iveco medium and heavy truck cabs. The focus has been on the advantages of using thermoplastic materials in comparison with thermosets. Discussion centred on four main categories: appearance, design, environment and structure. Many examples of parts and panels which have been developed with materials previously used have been considered. Iveco has planned the course it will pursue in terms of innovative materials to be applied throughout the product range. These items will be developed over the next few years in order to improve safety, productivity and environmental compatibility
