Power outputs will range from 106 hp to 205 hp, and\u00a0all models will have a six-speed transmission, including those specified with the firm&#8217;s Agile automated gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>Both Euro 5b+ and Euro VI versions will be available, using EGR and EGR+SCR solutions respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Measures aimed at cutting\u00a0fuel consumption include a set of modifications\u00a0aimed at <strong>reducing friction<\/strong>, such as reduced tangential load piston ring seals, low viscosity engine oil and low rolling resistance tyres.<\/p>\n<p>Iveco has also tried to reduce fuel wastage through what might be termed &#8216;overpowering&#8217; &#8212;\u00a0drivers will be able to optimise fuel consumption using the EcoSwitch function, which is operated by a dashboard switch and adjusts engine mapping to cut torque when the van is empty, and\u00a0restrict the van&#8217;s maximum speed.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, there&#8217;s also a Smart Alternator\u00a0option that recovers kinetic energy lost during breaking and optimises battery charging, as well as a the EcoMac option which modulates the load on the air-conditioning compressor to\u00a0optimise cooling (normally\u00a0air-con compressors simply run flat out all the time).<\/p>\n<h3>Load compartment<\/h3>\n<p>Iveco has focused on improving the single-wheel models, and says that the load deck is now 55mm lower than previously and offers a\u00a0choice of capacities\u00a0that range from 7.3 to 19.6 cubic metres. The 7 tonne Daily van will have a payload of up to 4,000kg, which Iveco says is\u00a0unique in its class.<\/p>\n<h3>Driving and interior<\/h3>\n<p>The cab has been heavily updated\u00a0and now appears to offer car-like levels of comfort and sophistication.\u00a0The driving experience has also been improved and Iveco claims that lateral acceleration &#8212; or cornering &#8212; is now comparable with a car, with loads of up to\u00a00.74g, thanks to a new suspension design.<\/p>\n<p>There are also a raft of new safety systems:\u00a0in addition to\u00a0the standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP), the New Daily introduces high-technological content, such as the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), that emits an acoustic signal when the vehicle departs from the marker lines of a lane without activating the signal indicators. The system is extremely effective in preventing accidents caused by distractions or drowsiness.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6284\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6284\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/iveco-daily-new-3-sm.jpg\" alt=\"New Iveco Daily cab interior\" width=\"500\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/iveco-daily-new-3-sm.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/iveco-daily-new-3-sm-300x101.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside the cab of the new Iveco Daily<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Overall, the new Daily looks good and should be help\u00a0drive continued strong activity in the UK van market this year, following its June\u00a0launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iveco has released details of its all-new Daily van, which goes on sale in the UK this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8],"tags":[1673,1100],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6283"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6283"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6283\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6300,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6283\/revisions\/6300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
