Iveco is introducing a new DriveAway Options programme which will see a range of bodied 3.5 tonne New Daily chassis cabs and chassis crew cabs available to buy from dealer forecourts nationwide.  The first vehicles are expected to be on sale during Quarter 1  2012.

Designed to enable operators to purchase a new light commercial vehicle and have it on the road almost immediately, the line-up will include Luton vans, tippers and dropsides.

Martin Flach, Iveco’s Product Director, says: “We’re focusing the DriveAway Options programme on the 3.5 tonne market initially, but we hope to grow the range of vehicles included in the programme over the coming months.

“This new turnkey solution essentially means an operator can walk into their local dealership and drive away in a bodied vehicle that same day.” 

Iveco is re-introducing its DriveAway Options line-up following increasing demand from customers for a ready-bodied vehicle range, particularly in the light of impending Whole Vehicle Type Approval legislation.

A key benefit to customers will be that they will only have to deal with one point of sale (the Iveco dealer), rather than co-ordinating between two or more suppliers.  As a result, there will be significantly shorter delivery times, coupled with lower costs and higher residual values.

All New Daily vehicles purchased through the DriveAway Options programme will receive a comprehensive three year unlimited mileage warranty covering both the chassis and body.
