This week, IVECO celebrated a significant milestone with the 1,800,000th commercial vehicle produced at the Suzzara plant in Mantua, Italy. It is the home of the iconic Daily van range.
The milestone 1,800,000th vehicle was the new eDaily, the electric twin of the iconic Daily, in a cab version assembled in Suzzara and electrified at the Brescia plant.
At the ceremony, Fulvio Carillo, IVECO Suzzara Plant Manager, stated: “The milestone achieved testifies to the success of our Daily, a vehicle produced at our Suzzara plant for over 45 years. This enduring success highlights the growing market presence of a commercial vehicle that has set new standards of innovation. Its strengths lies in its versatility and efficiency, qualities that have been repeatedly recognized throughout its history. We take immense pride in this achievement, knowing that the Daily has earned popularity among customers who value its exceptional versatility, durability, and distinctive performance.”
The 1,800,000th vehicle has been delivered to Tesco, the UK & Ireland’s leading supermarket. It is part of a home delivery fleet of 571 electrified vehicles the chain has deployed.
Tesco has been running IVECO Daily vehicles in its delivery fleet since 2010. The company has chosen IVECO for transitioning its fleet to green transport by introducing the eDaily, which enables zero-emissions deliveries to customers via its innovative modular battery setup. Its electric motor efficiently delivers a strong performance with 140kW and 400Nm of torque deployable. Capable of rapid charging at 80kW, 100+ km of range can be added in just 30 minutes, while a 22kW onboard charger enables Tesco to maximise charging from AC chargers at local stores.
