The Daily minibus ensures automobile-like ergonomics and driver’s comfort thanks to the redesigned driver area and to the new Hi-Matic transmission, the best in class in its category in every mission, from city traffic to long distance. The new seat features a lower seating point while the steering wheel is now smaller and has a more vertical position to improve comfort and handling. The new wider windscreen offers better visibility. The controls feature a new layout to improve handling, whilst the new dashboard now contains wider and more practical storage compartments. The climate control system boasts higher efficiency and soundproofing to help avoid driver fatigue, even during longer and more difficult missions.
The Daily minibus range, powered by FPT Industrial’s F1C 3.0L Diesel engine, ensures Euro VI compliance through the adoption of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, like the rest of the Bus range. This system allows high performance and reduced fuel consumption. The offer is completed by the environmental friendly 136HP NATURAL POWER CNG powered engine.
The new Hi-Matic automatic transmission has been designed to guarantee maximum performance and lowest running costs, whilst ensuring unbeatable comfort, superior performance and low fuel consumption. Thanks to the availability of 8-speeds, gear shifting is now faster and even more accurate than standard 6-speed transmissions, guaranteeing engagement of just the right gear at any engine speed in less than 200 milliseconds for unbeatable performance always at its best.
Electronic control allows for two operating modes, which are functional to the specific mission needs:
+ ECO – for smooth, low-speed gear shifting to enhance comfort and keep fuel consumption low
+ POWER – for faster, higher speed gear shifting to achieve more precise gear engagement and a sporty driving style
