Iveco is celebrating the 1,600,000th Daily rolling off the assembly line at the Suzzara plant in Mantua, Italy.

The milestone vehicle is the new Daily panel van, a 35C18H V, equipped with a 3.0-litre, 176hp Euro VIE heavy duty diesel engine.

“We are extremely proud of this important milestone for our plant, which represents more than 40 years of Daily production,” said Giorgio Ricci, Iveco Suzzara plant manager.

“This vehicle is a benchmark in the market for its fundamental characteristics, such as its versatility, strength, robustness and performance, which have always set it apart from other vehicles,” he said.

“With increasingly advanced connectivity to meet the business needs of customers, its focus on sustainability, and the traditional values that have always been a part of Iveco’s DNA, the new Daily is a high-performing and competitive travelling partner, with a Total Cost of Ownership among the best in its category.”

The Suzzara plant recently won the “Special Award: Excellent Culture of Improvement” bestowed by Agamus Consult, an international management consultancy firm, and German magazine Automobil Produktion.
