2.20 REAR UNDER-RUN PROTECTION (RUP)
The maximum distance between the rear under-run protection device (RUP = Rear Underrun Protection) and the rear-most
point of the superstructure is 400 mm, less the deformation observed in the approval phase (on average 10 mm).
If the changes on the chassis require the adaptation of the rear overhang, the under-run protection must be placed by performing
the same connection to the chassis as provided in the original version.
In the transformation of the vehicle or in the application of special equipment (e.g. rear tail lifts), it may be necessary to modify the
structure of the under-run. The intervention shall not change the resistance characteristics and the original rigidity.
The compliance of the modified device with standards in force must be demonstrated to the competent authorities by appropriate
documentation or test certificates.
2.21 REAR MUD GUARDS AND WHEEL ARCHES
On cab version vehicles without rear fenders, the Bodybuilder must implement solutions equal to those provided by IVECO.
For the realisation of the fenders, the wheel arch boxes and the shaping of the superstructure, keep in mind that:
●
the free shaking of the wheels must be ensured even in the conditions of use with chains; any indications on limit values can be
requested via the Support Service;
●
the width of the fender must be greater than the maximum dimensions occupied by the tyres, within the limits set by the
regulations;
●
the support structure of the fender must have adequate strength and be able to limit the vibrations;
●
the connection can be made to the vertical rip of the side members of the vehicle or to the longitudinal sections of the sub-
frame. In the first case the connection must be made exclusively by screws or directly below the superstructure (see Figure
30).
The first and the second point are also to be considered in the implementation of wheel arches.

Models 6x2 / PS and / FS have the steering of the third axle also in the raised position; it is therefore necessary to respect the space
required for this function, following the indications of Figure 31.
