A year of celebrations
IVECO’s 50th-anniversary celebrations will culminate in “50xBeyond”, a landmark four-day event by Iveco Group at Officine Grandi Riparazioni-OGR Turin from 12 to 15 June. This flagship gathering will honour IVECO’s rich heritage, deeply rooted in its Italian DNA, while shining a light on its bold vision for the future.

Bringing together institutions, customers, investors, dealers, partners, and all stakeholders that have contributed to building the history of the brand and shaping its future, the event promises to be a fitting tribute to five decades of excellence and innovation.
