Iveco Unveils New Daily Range

The latest version of Iveco’s mighty workhorse has arrived - the new Daily light range commercial vehicle, that will be launched during September 2011. The company has struck with the body-on-frame design that made the original so versatile when it came to custom configurations.

However, improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions were necessary and have been introduced, as the commercial vehicle haas a new PT Industrial 3.0-litre Euro 5 Diesel engine with 205 hp and 470 Nm of torque at its disposal. Thanks to the adoption of twin turbochargers, one compact and of low inertia to provide a rapid and vigorous response from a very low engine speed, and a larger unit to deliver the engine’s maximum performance, providing high torque and power with low emissions and fuel consumption.

For those interested in fewer emissions, the FPT Industrial 2.3-litre engine benefits from an increase in engine torque to 320 Nm and the new Multijet II multi-event fuel injection system that optimises the combustion process, bringing noteworthy benefits in terms of bare engine noise, fuel consumption and tail-pipe emissions.

Standard equipment also features the new ESP 9 safety system with active sensors and comprises ABS (ant-lock brakes), EBD (electronic brake force distribution), ASR (traction control), MSR (engine speed management to control engine over-run braking), ESP (stability control), HBA (hydraulic brake assist to ensure emergency braking is as effective as possible), Hill holder, LAC (load adaptive braking control), TSM (trailer sway mitigation), HRB (hydraulic rear wheel brake boost), HFC (hydraulic brake fade compensation), RMI (roll movement intervention) and ROM (roll over mitigation).

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
