At Truckpages we like to publish the updates provided by the commercial vehicle manufacturers when models are upgraded or facelifted. This means that when used truck & van buyers are researching their used truck or van purchase, they have information to call upon – it has usually been removed from the manufacturer’s own website, as the models will have been superseded by then. So here is the blurb from the launch of the model year 2024 Iveco Daily range. If you are considering this model year compared to the outgoing 2023 model with the old style logo, then it will be worth a read.

The Iveco Daily Blurb in Full

For 2024 model year, the family of Iveco light commercial vehicles has received some product upgrades and connectivity as standard across the range. The Daily has dramatically improved ergonomics of the cab interior and on-board technology, as well as new connectivity-enabled services across the entire range.

Iveco also looked at ways to increase the vehicle’s payload, and now offers a new rear leafspring suspension with progressive stiffness which is available as an option. It enables the vehicle to carry heavier loads with a performance comparable to the double-leaf suspension.

The new Daily is also available in electric and bio-CNG versions, with dedicated services offering customers complete mobility solutions to help their sustainable transition.

In-cab features deliver a superior driver experience

The Daily has introduced a host of features designed to make the driver’s life more comfortable. The new dashboard, with ample open storage compartments, makes it easier to organise belongings and keep everything they need within easy reach. With dedicated spaces for mobile devices, new USB type A+C sockets and a new wireless charger, they will never have to worry about running out of charge.

A stand-out feature is the new 10.25-inch configurable full digital cluster standard across the whole range. The important vehicle information is clearly displayed on the wide screen with large font sizes. Three screen layouts are available, and the driver can easily choose their preferred configuration using the stalk lever button.

The new infotainment system with a 10-inch colour display is integrated into the central section of the dashboard and offers new functionalities that will enhance the driver’s experience on board. Mobile device mirroring allows them to access their Apps on the display and in-cab functions such as lights, windows and climate can be controlled with voice commands through Iveco Driver Pal, which is now integrated into the system and easy to set up. They will also be able to use the Tom Tom Live advanced navigation services on the new infotainment system to always plan the best routes based on real-time traffic conditions. On the road, the driver will enjoy the absolute driving pleasure of the Hi-Matic transmission, further enhanced by the new bi-stable position multi-function lever with a power selector for the Power and Eco settings, which is more comfortable to use and makes it easier to recognise the status of the transmission.

The reverse camera with dynamic lines, available as an option for cab and van in addition to the standard parking sensors, provides a clear view of the rear surroundings making reversing manoeuvres safer and easier. It’s also available with the new 7’’ touchscreen radio, which completes the offer with key features including controls on the steering wheel, mobile mirroring, and Iveco Driver Pal.

Enhanced digital features unlock more productivity and efficiency

The Daily’s standard connectivity enables a host of new functionalities and services designed to increase the customer’s productivity. Drivers and fleet managers can now operate more efficiently by remotely controlling the vehicle’s settings through the Easy Daily App or through the Iveco ON portal. The fleet manager can remotely check the status of the vehicle’s functions such as Hi-Matic settings and Eco Mode and lock them to ensure the vehicle maximises fuel efficiency. This feature also enables them to remotely control a vehicle’s ADAS settings at any time, to ensure all the vehicles in their fleet are set up to support driver safety and contribute to safer roads.

For drivers who share vans in the fleet, the Profile Setting feature means they can save their preferred set-up, cluster and infotainment settings via their Easy Daily App. They will also be able to transfer their settings to another paired vehicle automatically.

Door-to-door deliveries can be made faster with the Keyless Entry & Go: Daily is the only light commercial vehicle on the market with the fully hands-free door locking and unlocking feature.

Customers’ productivity will also improve with Iveco’s services designed to maximise vehicle uptime. These include Over-the-Air updates, which eliminates the need to visit the dealer’s workshop for software updates, saving time. Proactive fault management based on Daily state-of-health data enables the customer to schedule workshop visits more efficiently. Iveco Uptime Monitoring & Management turns potential unplanned stops into planned ones.

The new Daily goes above and beyond to provide safety all around

The new ADAS and Level 2 Autonomous Drive features provide a stress-free driving experience and enhance safety in and around the vehicle, extending beyond regulatory requirements with protection for Vulnerable Road

Users. Fatigue on long days behind the wheel will be reduced by the new Traffic Jam Assist which automatically follows the traffic flow. The Advanced Lane Centring steers the vehicle and keeps it in the centre of the lane and the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go keeps pace with the vehicle in front, stopping when it does.

Thanks to the Intelligent Speed Assist & Traffic Sign Recognition Safety Warnings, the driver can accept and set the speed limit, driving safely and without stress.

Driver safety is improved with AEBS & City Brake which also protects Vulnerable Road Users and the new Turn Assist function, which automatically activates the brake as necessary when turning to avoid impact. The Blind Spot Warning will alert the driver if a vehicle is approaching in the blind spot when changing lanes.

Urban manoeuvres become safer and stress-free with the Blind Spot Warning Information System which warns if a cyclist is approaching on the kerb side, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking which helps the driver reverse by providing information about vehicles and obstacles around the vehicle, and braking automatically if necessary.

When preparing to leave the vehicle, the Door Opening Warning will alert the driver if a vehicle or cyclist is approaching, increasing safety in the urban environment.

The Daily also introduces new passive safety features which meet GSR B requirements and is the only body-on-frame light commercial vehicle to comply with the new GSR standards in the 3.5-tonne category. The whole range, known for the robustness of its unique body-on-frame structure, has been further strengthened with the chassis front redesign.
