Iveco’s gas-powered Daily light commercial vehicle has been named ‘Green Van of the Year 2009’ in the alternative fuel category at the Fleet Van Awards, held recently in London.
In winning this prestigious award the Daily beat off tough competition from a number of electric, hybrid and other gas-powered models, earning particular praise from Fleet Van’s Editor, Trevor Gelken, for reducing its CO2 emissions by 62 per cent, when running on bio-methane, in comparison with an equivalent diesel model and for already meeting the Euro VI emission limit values – a first in Europe.
Iveco’s gas-powered Daily offers fleet operators a serious and renewable alternative for urban applications.The complete range of gas-powered Daily’s extends to 28 different models available in the UK, plated between 3.5 and 6.5 tonnes, including three panel vans, five chassis cabs and five chassis crew-cabs, available in a variety of different wheelbase lengths. The chassis cabs can be fitted with various bodies.
All models are powered by the FPT 3 litre dedicated natural ga engine which is rated at 136 cv (100 kW) with 350 Nm of torque between 1,500 and 2,730 rev/min.
Since 1999, more than 4,000 gas powered Daily vans and chassis cabs have been sold across Western Europe, highlighting Iveco’s significant investment in developing alternatives and Iveco is now Europe’s leading researcher and maker of clean-fuel vehicles. That is why Iveco believes constantly researching and applying the most advanced technologies is the most important contribution it can make to a safer, more efficient and environmentally sustainable mobility.
