Recently, IVECO and Motors Inc. unveiled the new zero-emission eDaily at their launch event, held at the Motors Inc. premises, in Mdina Road, Qormi.

During the event, which hosted more than 100 guests, IVECO and Motors Inc. representatives presented the eDaily and the Light Range by means of a detailed walk, explaining its features.  

The eDaily provides a good combination of cargo volume to vehicle size, in an environmentally friendly zero emission package.

eDaily offers modular battery installation, allowing customers to choose the level of range autonomy that best suits their mission.

The line-up is offered in van, cab, crew cab, chassis cowl and minibus body variants.

As the official dealer for IVECO, Motors Inc announced that it will be starting a demo programme that will allow interested customers to test the eDaily, in the coming months.

The model will be an eDaily Van 35S14E V 4×2 and it will be tested by each customer for a defined period. The goal here is for the customer to experience the advantages of electric IVECO light commercial vehicle.

Conceived to be the “electric twin” of the Daily, eDaily covers all LCV applications, including heavy-duty missions and conversions.

eDaily recharges from public chargers, industrial sockets and domestic sockets. Charging options include fast charging at 80kW, which adds up to 100km of range in just 30 minutes.

Charging can be fully managed via the dedicated app. The eDaily front charging port is easily accessible no matter what direction the cable is coming from. Behind the sliding flap which protects the plug from water and dust, an LED indicator shows the status and level of charge.

Motors Inc. noted that, eDaily expanding the area of potential interest for electric vehicles, will represent “a fundamental contribution to the decarbonisation of transport.”

Commenting on the launch, Motors Inc. General Manager Stephen Aquilina said that the company is committed  “to promoting the electrification of transport as means to achieve better environmental standards for generations to come.”

On his part, IVECO Business Manager for Malta, Claudio D’Agostino added that in the global scenario of strong change from a technological and environmental point of view, the brand “is keeping up with the ecological transition by offering the Daily full line-up electric, while maintaining the typical characteristics of IVECO vehicles.”

Meanwhile, present for the launch, the Italian Ambassador in Malta Fabrizio Romano noted that the two companies have a long-standing relationship spanning over decades. “It pleases me to see such an embodiment of the strong relationship between Italy and Malta,” he concluded.
