The move is part of a £100 million TfL fund that enables owners of 3.5 tonne diesel vans that are Euro 5 and below to scrap them in exchange for £7,500 contribution toward an electric vehicle (EV). IVECO will then also contribute an additional £1,000.
This scheme is open to small businesses of 10 employees or less, sole traders and charities operating within London boroughs.
The new zero emissions IVECO eDaily’s15kW ePTO enables the vehicle to power a range of equipment from a refrigerated body to tipper, or an arial platform to refuse compactor.
According to IVECO, a fully modular battery set means that operators can tailor their eDaily. Offered with one, two, or three 37kWh battery packs, eDailys can cover up to 248 miles on a single charge. Rapid charging at 80kW will see this model gain 62 miles of range in 30 minutes. It comes with an eight-year 100,000-mile warranty for vehicles with one battery, or 155,000-miles with two or three batteries. A three-year or 100,000-mile chassis warranty accompanies the 2XL Repair and Maintenance package included for all models.
IVECO UK light business line director, Mike Cutts said “Air quality is a critical environmental issue, and so encouraging operators to go electric by making the switch even more affordable makes sense.”
