IVECO is celebrating the milestone of 1,800,000 Daily produced at the Suzzara plant in Mantua, Italy. The
landmark vehicle - an all-electric IVECO eDaily - is destined to join the Tesco delivery fleet as the supermarket
continues its decarbonisation mission.
The new IVECO eDaily makes up part of the 571 electric home delivery vans Tesco has deployed and uses the
innovative modular battery setup synonymous with eDaily to optimise payload and range. These two-battery
vehicles are capable of rapid charging at 80kW, adding 62 miles of range in just 30 minutes, while a 22kW
onboard charger enables Tesco to maximise charging from AC chargers at local stores.
A refrigerated Solomon Commercials body takes advantage of 15kW of ePTO onboard power to cool perishable
goods while on delivery missions. A second 12V e-PTO provides low-voltage power for additional cooling from
the GAH Transport Refrigeration fridge, creating a totally self-sustaining zero-emissions vehicle.
Rob Smallwood, Fleet Manager at Tesco said: “We’ve committed to moving towards a fully electric home
delivery fleet across the UK by 2030. Taking delivery of IVECO’s 1,800,000th eDaily will help us get closer
towards reaching our commitment to be carbon neutral in our own operations by 2035.”
Known as the home of the IVECO Daily, the Suzzara facility has gained a reputation for excellence in light
vehicle manufacturing. This pioneering vehicle has continuously reinvented itself, introducing many groundbreaking innovations and industry-firsts while remaining true to its original DNA.
With its exceptional versatility, the Daily perfectly matches the specific requirements of customers, whatever
their mission. It has built its enduring success in the market on these unique strengths, leading the high-payload
segment with the 7-tonne model and serving as a benchmark in the natural gas light commercial vehicle sector.
The Daily has now further consolidated its position as a leader in sustainable transportation solutions by
becoming fully electric across its entire line-up. Like all IVECO eDaily models, this historic vehicle was built in
Suzzara and electrified at the Brescia plant.
Fulvio Carillo, IVECO Suzzara Plant Manager, stated: “The milestone achieved testifies to the success of our
Daily, a vehicle produced at our Suzzara plant for over 45 years. This enduring success highlights the growing
market presence of a commercial vehicle that has set new standards of innovation. Its strengths lie in its
