IVECO has recently celebrated the significant production milestone of 1,800,000 Daily vehicles manufactured at the company’s Suzzara plant in Mantua, Italy.
The 1,800,000th vehicle was a new eDaily which was delivered to leading UK supermarket, Tesco, and forms part of a home delivery fleet of 571 electrified vehicles the chain currently operates. The milestone Daily is a cab chassis model which was assembled in Suzzara and electrified at IVECO’s Brescia facility.
Tesco has operated IVECO Daily models in its delivery fleet since 2010, with the vehicles well suited to deliveries in urban environments thanks to their ample payloads and class-leading turning circles.
The company has chosen IVECO to transition its fleet towards greater sustainability, with the latest eDaily offering zero emission tailpipe deliveries to customers via its innovative modular battery setup.
IVECO Suzzara Plant Manager, Fulvio Carillo, explains the reasons for the Daily’s widespread customer adoption over many years.
“The milestone testifies to the success of our Daily, a vehicle produced at our Suzzara plant for over 45 years,” Mr Carillo said.
“This enduring success highlights the growing market presence of a commercial vehicle that has set new standards of innovation. Its strengths lie in its versatility and efficiency, qualities that have been repeatedly recognised 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 performance.”
