Iveco has extended its UK range of Daily and EcoDaily vans and light trucks with a series of new 7.0 tonne van, chassis cab and crew cab models.

These offer a 4.7 tonne body and payload allowance, 470kg more than 6.5 tonne models. Iveco says this is more than many medium range trucks and "testament to the Daily's truck-derived heritage." The chassis is 2,174m narrow, "making the range ideal" for urban work where Iveco says it offers a "viable alternative" to fleets running 7.5 tonners, particularly those delivering dense goods like newspapers, stationery and drinks.
