Iveco’s new fully electric eDaily model will be displayed at the Brisbane Truck Show (May 18-21) with local testing soon to take place.
The eDaily is the electric twin of the popular Daily and will be the first EV offering by the brand in Australia and New Zealand markets.
In developing and rolling out the eDaily range in Australia, Iveco has partnered with several leading tertiary institutions, government departments and private enterprise to assist with training, tooling and to explore recharging opportunities.
In other markets, the eDaily range is available in several van and cab chassis variants and with one, two or three batteries depending on configuration, with combined battery capacities of up to 111kWh producing power and torque of up to 140kW and 400Nm.
The show vehicle is a 70C cab chassis with 4350mm wheelbase, 7.2t GVM and three batteries; it is one of several models that will be tested locally in preparation for rollout of the broader eDaily line-up.
Multiple charging options are available for the eDaily including standard onboard 11kW AC charger, optional 22kW on-board AC charger, or up to an 80kW DC fast charger.
Depending on battery options, full charge times of between three and nine hours can be reached using the on-board chargers, and more than 80% charge can be achieved in under 1.5 hours using DC fast charging.
The loaded drive range for local eDaily models will be up to 300km.
Iveco Australia and NZ managing director Michael May says the brand has a “long and successful history in bringing alternative fuelled models to market”.
