VOTY for 2018 goes to IVECO

The IVECO Daily Blue Power range was crowned International Van of the Year 2018 at Solutrans, the international trade show for the road transpor t industry held in Lyon, France. IVECO’S new light segment van and chassis cab range fought off strong competition to take the win, just three years after Daily won the 2015 title. The prestigious award is recognition of the brand’s focus on using technology to improve sustainability, with judges agreeing the Daily Blue Power “puts together the main and viable solutions to reduce the environmental impact of LCVS in urban and suburban operations.” They highlighted the fact that with this range “IVECO has the sustainable vehicles the market is asking for” and that the range’s “Electric, Natural Gas and SCR are all proven technologies developed by IVECO.” The jury was particularly impressed by the technical innovation of IVECO’S new range and for “presenting the new Real Driving Emission diesel engine now – three years ahead of the EU’S RDE regulation which will be mandatory for vans – far ahead of any competitor” and by the absolute driving pleasure of the Daily Hi-matic Natural Power. Jarlath Sweeney, International Van of the Year Chairman, summed up the jury vote: “Congratulations to IVECO on the impressive development achievements with the Daily Bluepower. IVECO has always been on the forefront of sustainability in the LCV segment. The new Daily Blue Power range confirms this position.”
