The IVECO Cursor 11 is a 10,857 cc, inline‑six turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2007 and 2011. It was engineered for heavy-duty commercial applications, featuring common rail direct injection, a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), and dual overhead camshafts. Output ranged from 320 kW (435 PS) to 368 kW (500 PS), with peak torque figures between 2,000-2,500 Nm.
Fitted to models such as the Stralis, Trakker, and Eurocargo heavy-duty trucks, the Cursor 11 was designed for operators demanding high power, sustained torque for hauling, and long-haul efficiency. Emissions compliance for this generation was primarily achieved through exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR), targeting Euro IV and Euro V standards.
A documented engineering focus was on reducing thermal stress in the cylinder head and exhaust manifold. IVECO Service Information Bulletin TIS‑CRS11‑001 details design refinements to coolant passages and material composition to improve durability under continuous high-load conditions prevalent in long-distance transport.
Production years 2007–2009 meet Euro IV standards; 2010–2011 models comply with Euro V (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5678).
The IVECO Cursor 11 is a 10,857 cc inline‑six turbo‑diesel engineered for heavy‑duty trucks (2007-2011). It combines high‑pressure common‑rail injection with a single variable‑geometry turbocharger to deliver immense, sustained torque for hauling and long‑haul efficiency. Designed to meet Euro IV and Euro V standards, it prioritizes durability under continuous load.

The immense torque output is ideal for heavy hauling but demands strict adherence to 30,000-40,000 km oil and filter change intervals to protect the turbo and fuel system. IVECO-specified oil (meeting ACEA E7/E9) is critical for managing soot and maintaining engine cleanliness under high load. The SCR system requires regular AdBlue® top-ups; neglect can trigger power derate or shutdown. Coolant quality and regular checks are paramount to prevent cylinder head issues. EGR coolers should be inspected periodically for internal leaks.
Oil Specs: Requires IVECO specification or ACEA E7/E9 (IVECO SIB CRS11-11 02 17). Supersedes basic API CI-4 requirements.
Emissions: Euro IV certification applies to 2007-2009 models; Euro V certification applies to 2010-2011 models (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5678).
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Full power output requires AdBlue® system functionality (IVECO TIS Doc. CRS11-A26015).

The IVECO Cursor 11 was used across IVECO's heavy-duty platforms with longitudinal mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-robust engine mounts for the Trakker off-road variant and specific cooling packages for the Stralis long-haul tractor. From 2010, models received updates for Euro V compliance, including revised EGR and SCR systems. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine identification plate riveted to the left side of the cylinder block, near the front engine mount (IVECO TIS CRS11-A24890). The plate will clearly state "Cursor 11" and the specific power rating (e.g., 435 PS, 500 PS). Pre-Euro V engines (2007-2009) have a single EGR valve assembly; Euro V engines (2010-2011) feature a more complex EGR system integrated with the SCR dosing module. Critical differentiation from Cursor 13: The Cursor 11 has a displacement of 10.8L; the Cursor 13 is 12.9L. Service parts, particularly for emissions systems, are not interchangeable between Euro IV and Euro V variants.
The Cursor 11's primary reliability focus is managing thermal stress in the cylinder head, with elevated incidence in continuous high-load, high-ambient temperature operations. IVECO engineering reports noted improved head durability after 2009 revisions, while UK DVSA data links a portion of roadside inspections to AdBlue® system faults in poorly maintained fleets. Consistent coolant quality and AdBlue® supply make preventative maintenance critical.
