The IVECO Cursor 16 is a 15,900 cc, inline‑six turbo‑diesel engine introduced in 2019 for the heaviest duty applications. It features a robust architecture with common rail direct injection, a twin‑scroll variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), and dual overhead camshafts. Output ranges from 460 kW (625 PS) to 560 kW (761 PS), delivering immense torque figures between 3,000-3,500 Nm.
Fitted primarily to the IVECO S‑Way flagship heavy‑duty trucks, the Cursor 16 was engineered for maximum power and torque in long‑haul and heavy‑payload transport. Emissions compliance is achieved through advanced cooled EGR and SCR systems, meeting stringent Euro VI‑D standards from launch.
One documented focus area is the management of the high‑pressure fuel system under extreme load. IVECO Service Information Bulletin SI 16‑001 details procedures for diagnosing injector performance and rail pressure stability to ensure optimal combustion and prevent DPF overload in sustained high‑power scenarios.
All production years (2019–Present) meet Euro VI-D standards (IVECO Type Approval per EU Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 and (EU) 2017/655).
The IVECO Cursor 16 is a 15,900 cc inline‑six turbo‑diesel engineered for flagship heavy-duty commercial vehicles (2019–Present). It combines ultra-high-pressure common‑rail injection with a twin-scroll variable‑geometry turbocharger to deliver maximum power and torque for the most demanding transport tasks. Designed to meet Euro VI-D standards from inception, it prioritizes peak performance with emissions compliance.

The immense power and torque are designed for heavy, sustained loads but demand rigorous 30,000 km service intervals using IVECO-specified ACEA E9 oil to protect the high-pressure fuel system and turbocharger. Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) meeting EN 590 is mandatory. The complex SCR system requires consistent AdBlue® quality and level; neglect triggers severe torque derate. Gear-driven timing ensures exceptional longevity. Injector performance is critical under high load; diagnostics per IVECO SIB SI 16-001 are recommended if power or emissions issues arise.
Oil Specs: Requires IVECO SAE 10W-40 meeting ACEA E9 specification for optimal soot handling and wear protection (IVECO SIB SI 16-001).
Emissions: Certified to Euro VI-D standards for all production years (EU Regulation (EC) No 595/2009 and (EU) 2017/655).
Power Ratings: Measured under ISO 1585 standards. Peak output requires optimal AdBlue® dosing and clean air filters (IVECO TIS Doc. CUR-B200).

The IVECO Cursor 16 is exclusively used in IVECO's flagship S-Way platform with longitudinal mounting. This engine features platform-specific adaptations-optimized cooling and air intake systems for the S-Way's aerodynamic cab, and reinforced engine mounts for maximum torque handling. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code and serial number on the data plate affixed to the left side of the cylinder block, near the flywheel housing (IVECO TIS CUR-ID-01). The 8th digit of the VIN typically corresponds to the engine family for IVECO trucks. Visually, the Cursor 16 is identifiable by its large, vertically mounted air-to-air intercooler, twin-scroll turbo housing, and the prominent SCR/AdBlue® tank adjacent to the fuel tank. It is only fitted to the S-Way model, distinguishing it from the smaller Cursor 13.
The Cursor 16's primary reliability focus is maintaining its high-pressure fuel system and emissions aftertreatment under extreme, sustained load. IVECO service data indicates injector performance monitoring is critical for preventing DPF overload, while UK DVSA heavy vehicle inspections highlight AdBlue® system faults as a common cause of emissions non-compliance. Consistent use of correct fuel, oil, and AdBlue® is paramount for long-term reliability in high-output applications.
