== History ==
Iveco (stylized in [[all caps]] as ''IVECO'') was incorporated on 1 January 1975, with the merger of five different brands: [[Fiat Industrial|FIAT Veicoli Industriali]] (with headquarters in Turin), [[Officine Meccaniche|OM]] ([[Brescia]], Italy), [[Lancia Veicoli Speciali]] (Italy), [[Unic]] (France), and [[Magirus-Deutz]] (Germany).<ref>{{cite web|title=History of Iveco / 1975–1984|url=http://www.fiatindustrial.com/en-us/group/history/iveco/Pages/iveco_1975_1984.aspx|publisher=fiatindustrial.com|access-date=April 4, 2013}}</ref>

Following the merger, the newly founded Iveco began rationalizing its product range, manufacturing plants, and sales network, while keeping the original brands. From 1975 to 1979, the Iveco range included 200 basic models and 600 versions spanning from 2.7 tons of GVW for light vehicles to over 40 tons for heavy vehicles, as well as buses and engines.<ref>{{citation |first = Massimo |last = Condolo |title = IVECO 1975–2005 |language = it |date = September 2005 |publisher = Fondazione Negri |ref = MC1 |isbn = 8889108045}}</ref><ref>{{citation |first1 = Raffaele |last1 = Sanguineti |first2 = Carlo Felice |last2 = Zampini Salazar |ref = SZS |title = IVECO Story |work = The world of Transport |date = 1994 |publisher = Norden Publishing House Ltd. |page = 144}}</ref> 

In 1977, the light- to medium-weight [[Iveco Zeta]] range was introduced, replacing the 20-year-old [[OM Lupetto]]. Integrating the Fiat-OM range with the Unic and Magirus lineups was completed by 1980.<ref name="Truck9.82">{{cite journal |journal = TRUCK |date = September 1982 |ref = truck982 |page = 27 |editor-last = Kennett |editor-first = Pat |title = Intertruck: Italy |last = Norbye |first = Jan |location = London, UK |publisher = FF Publishing Ltd}}</ref> IVECO moved in to work on increasing productivity and engine development.<ref name="Truck9.82" /> In 1978, IVECO launched the first product in the range of IVECO-branded light vehicles, the [[Iveco Daily|Daily]].<ref>{{cite web |title = Fiat Industrial 2011 Annual Report |url = http://www.fiatindustrial.com/en-US/investor_relations/financial_reports/bilanci/FiatDocuments/FI_Relazione_finanziaria_annuale_2011_FINALE_NIS_ENG.pdf |page = 103 |publisher = [[Fiat]]}}</ref>

From 1986, Iveco S.p.A. held a 52% stake in Iveco Ford Truck Ltd, a joint venture (and effectively a merger) with [[Ford of Europe]]'s truck division. Ford plants took over production and sales of the major vehicles in the Iveco range and continued production of the [[Ford Cargo]].<ref name="John Carroll p. 408">John Carroll, Peter James Davies: The Complete Book of Tractor & Trucks, 2000 Lorenz Books – p. 408</ref> In the mid-1980s, [[Astra Veicoli Industriali]], which produces [[dumper]]s and construction site/quarry vehicles in [[Piacenza]], became part of Iveco Group.<ref>[[#MC1|Condolo]], p. 11</ref> In 1989, the first [[Diesel engine]] with EGR to reduce [[Air pollution|polluting emission]]s compatible with commercial vehicles was produced, and the new Daily launched that same year was fitted with it.<ref name="John Carroll p. 408" />
