The Daily Start is the latest addition to IVECO’s minibus range and is an entry-level model. Others in the range include the Daily Line and high-end Daily Tourys+.
The Daily Start can take up to 16 passengers, with wheelchair access in certain configurations. It has a manual side sliding door and retractable step, and options include CCTV, an electric sliding door, reverse cameras and USB charging points.
Power is provided by IVECO’s 3.0-litre F1C diesel engine, with a choice of either 148bhp or 178bhp versions available. The vehicle can also be equipped with the eight-speed Hi-Matic automatic transmission.
Maintenance intervals have been extended to 50,000km.
Mark Barlow, dealer principal at David Fishwick, says it is ideal for operators requiring a simple, functional vehicle with low running costs, such as for airport parking services or local taxi work.
“This new Daily model offers excellent value for money,” he says, adding: “Operators can be confident of a long service life, even for high-mileage applications.”
