Iveco Daily

The Iveco Daily is a large light commercial van produced by the Italian automaker Iveco since 1978; it was also sold as the Fiat Daily by Fiat until 1983. Unlike the more car-like unibody Fiat Ducato, the Daily uses a separate ladder frame typical of heavier commercial vehicles. The Iveco Daily is produced at the Iveco Suzzara plant, near Mantova in Italy, where Iveco has recently[when?] made substantial investments to renew the production lines.

The Daily is also the longest-running vehicle of the Iveco production and in over 40 years has sold over three million units. Today it is marketed in 110 markets around the world.

In 1978, Fiat presented a revolutionary vehicle called Daily. Light utility, succeeding the old Fiat 242 and Fiat 616N, it immediately received a very favorable reception from users, who appreciated its robustness and versatility. Its transformations for specific uses are numerous: panel van, chassis cab, double cab, etc.

When presented, the Daily was marketed as the Fiat Daily, OM Grinta, and later the turbocharged version OM TurboGrinta, and Alfa Romeo AR8 in Italy, Unic Daily in France, Magirus Daily in Germany, and in Switzerland, these were also sold by Saurer-Fiat and Saurer-OM as the Daily/Grinta, with the small IVECO I logo at the bottom to the right of the grille, until 1982. Between 1982 and 1983, the IVECO logo prevails in the center of the grille, the Fiat or Unic brands being simply recalled at the bottom right.

When it was launched, the Daily range included 3 models: 30F8, 35F8 and 40F8. The first number represents the GVW of the vehicle expressed in Italian fashion, in quintals, i.e. 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 tonnes. The "F" indicates FIAT, the engine manufacturer and the last digit corresponds to the engine power expressed in ten horsepower DIN.

Depending on its configuration, the useful volume of the long van version can reach 17 m3, which makes it a good successor to the Fiat 242 (Citroën C35 in France), whose production nevertheless continued.[citation needed]

In 1984, Fiat V.I., now IVECO, presented the Daily 4x4 range and, in 1985, launched the second Daily series, the TurboDaily.

In 1985, Iveco presented the turbodiesel version, called TurboDaily. To cover demand under 3.5 tonnes, reserved for the commercial vehicle division, Fiat Professional also launched the Fiat Ducato.
