Fiat/Iveco 370 bus ACOTRAL – Roma
The Fiat 370 was presented in August 1976 to replace the Fiat 343, the Fiat 308, and the Fiat 306.
Starting in 1979, the same type of bus is sold under the new IVECO brand. The last Fiat-branded vehicles will be sold in 1983.
The 370 was body worked by numerous builders, such as Orlandi, Menarini, Portesi, etc … giving life to countless variants.
The classification of the various types / engines takes place, in the case of fiat / iveco vehicles, by integrating the length of the rolling stock and the horsepower developed by the engine with the name of the vehicle itself. The 370.12.26 will therefore be a Fiat 370 with a 12-meter chassis and an engine power of 260hp.
The 370 range consists of 9, 10, 11, and 12-meter-long vehicles, powered by 6 and 8-cylinder engines in different arrangements (in-line, V, and turbocharged).
Cotral (formerly Acotral) is a company that deals with public transport in Lazio, mainly by road; this company was the one, among all the Italians, to have ordered the largest quantity of 370.
