Fleets in Latin America have new natural-gas and four-wheel-drive versions of the IVECO Daily light commercial vehicle to choose from after Iveco Group launched them in the region at Fenatran 2026 in São Paulo. At the same show, its engine brand FPT announced an electrification project with Brazilian electrical firm WEG and an engine emissions test facility with SENAI.

## Key points

- Iveco Group is exhibiting its IVECO, FPT and IVECO CAPITAL brands at Fenatran 2026, which runs from November 9 to 13 in São Paulo, Brazil.
- IVECO is launching the Daily CNG and Daily 4x4 light commercial vehicles in the region, plus new Tector medium-duty versions with an automated gearbox or a larger cab.
- FPT says it will work with WEG on extended-range electrification.
- FPT and SENAI plan an engine emissions testing facility at the group's Sete Lagoas site in Minas Gerais.
- Latin America brought in 12% of Iveco Group's net revenues in 2025, according to the company.

## Which IVECO trucks are new for Latin American fleets at Fenatran 2026?

Natural gas features at both ends of the line-up. The Daily CNG, a compressed natural gas version of IVECO's light commercial vehicle, makes its regional debut alongside a Daily 4x4, and the heavy-duty S-Way is on show in a CNG version too. In the medium range, IVECO adds Tector versions with an automated gearbox and with an enlarged cab.

The stand also carries the S-Way Vulcano, a special edition with high-end customisation that Iveco Group says will be built in a run of 50. Every vehicle shown uses an FPT engine, and IVECO CAPITAL, the group's finance arm, is offering financing tailored to fleets in the region.

## What will FPT build with WEG and SENAI?

Two things: an electrification project and a place to test engine emissions in Brazil. With WEG, an electrical equipment maker based in Jaraguá do Sul, FPT will explore extended-range electrification, drawing on both companies' work in power generation, alternative fuels and electrified systems. With SENAI, Brazil's national industrial training service, it will set up an engine emissions testing facility at the group's plant in Sete Lagoas, which the company says adds local engineering and testing capacity for its operations in Brazil and Argentina.

Brazilian trade publication [AutoData reports](https://www.autodata.com.br/noticias/2026/11/09/fpt-faz-parceria-com-a-weg-para-desenvolver-sistema-hibrido-para-caminhoes/139609/) that the WEG project pairs FPT's F1C Bi-Fuel engine, which runs on ethanol and natural gas or biomethane, with a WEG axial-flux generator and a frequency inverter built for vehicles. It adds that the Sete Lagoas facility will run production-conformity emissions tests for all of Latin America, up to 160 a year.

Engine emissions from trucks are tightly regulated in Brazil. Under [CONAMA Resolution 490/2018](https://conama.mma.gov.br/?option=com_sisconama&task=arquivo.download&id=767), the PROCONVE P8 limits for new heavy road vehicles applied to newly approved models from January 1, 2022 and to all other covered vehicles from January 1, 2023.

## How big is Iveco Group in Latin America?

Big enough that the region is its main base outside Europe, by the company's account. Iveco Group says about 4,000 people work for it in Brazil and Argentina, around 250,000 IVECO trucks are running in Latin America, and FPT has more than one million engines in service there.

| Figure | Value, as stated by Iveco Group |
|---|---|
| Share of 2025 net revenues from Latin America | 12% |
| Employees in Brazil and Argentina | About 4,000 |
| IVECO trucks operating in Latin America | About 250,000 |
| FPT engines operating in Latin America | More than 1 million |
| Planned investment in Brazil through 2028 | About €160 million (R$1 billion) |
| Pouso Alegre parts distribution centre | About €15 million (R$93 million), capacity up 40% |

The group is investing roughly €160 million (R$1 billion) in Brazil through 2028 in plants, new vehicles and engines, and new technology. Part of that has already gone into a new Pouso Alegre (Minas Gerais) centre that ships spare parts for IVECO, IVECO BUS and FPT; the company says it lifted operating capacity by 40%. Iveco Group is now part of Tata Motors; together they report a presence in more than 130 countries, combined revenues of about €21 billion and about 590,000 units sold a year.

## What does this mean for fleet operators in Brazil?

Our analysis: the clearest change for operators is choice of fuel. With CNG offered from the Daily van up to the S-Way heavy truck, a fleet that wants to run on natural gas can stay with one manufacturer, one dealer network and one finance arm across vehicle sizes. The WEG and SENAI agreements point further ahead: FPT is building its multi-energy approach on Brazilian partners and Brazilian test capacity, which fits a market where every new heavy vehicle has to meet the [PROCONVE P8 limits](https://conama.mma.gov.br/?option=com_sisconama&task=arquivo.download&id=767).
