The new Daily will be available in the Chinese market in several versions – as a van, chassis cab and chassis crew cab – with sales commencing this month. These will be followed later in the year by the Daily Hi-Matic, which features the eight-speed automatic transmission for improved comfort and fuel economy.

Luca Biagini, head of Iveco China, said at the launch: “We aim to broaden and enrich the Iveco product line-up we offer in China by providing a full range of light, medium and heavy vehicles capable of fulfilling the growing requirements of the country’s transport businesses.

"In the light commercial vehicle segment, we are confident that the New Daily will be an excellent match with this market’s needs. In fact, when we previewed the New Daily in 2014 at the Guangzhou International Commercial Vehicle Exhibition, it attracted the interest of visitors and received excellent reviews from the industry.”
