The latest addition to the IVECO range has been put through its paces by leading industry publication WhatVan?. Taking the IVECO Daily for an extensive review, North East Truck and Van looks at the findings.
Getting behind the wheel, the publication commented "the ride is excellent – even dialling-out the comfort of the suspended ‘truck’ seat from the equation – and the improved rising-rate rear leaf springs are said to offer the same progression as dual-spring set ups used elsewhere. This was born-out driving the unladen 7.2 tonnes high volume box body with ride comfort to rival any 3.5 tonner, with only the suspended driver’s seat to help".
WhatVan? went on to add "A raft of driver assistance and safety systems, some of which pre-date the legislation have been rolled-out on the 2024 model year too. There’s traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with traffic jam function, emergency braking, blindspot assist and rear cross traffic warnings with automatic braking if a vehicle is close, should you be forced to reverse out of a delivery. The main physical addition to the range is the huge 5.1m wheelbase variant, which in eDaily guise allows the multiple batteries layout to increase to four in total. With eDaily models already offering one, two or three battery packs, Iveco workshops can now also add additional batteries at two-hours labour – wheelbase permitting".
Awarding a very impressive 9 out of 10 score, the publication concluded "Available in myriad sizes, a great van just got a little better".
