Van of year prize lifts Iveco hopes

There was jubilation on the Iveco stand at the Amsterdam European road transport show for commercial vehicles as its Daily City 2000 model was voted 'Van of the Year'.

Chief executive officer Giancarlo Boschetti said: “I am proud of the victory. This could not have happened at a better time. Winning this award will focus the attention of the public on our van range.”

The award was made by 18 of the world's leading commercial vehicle journalists who praised the van for its product qualities and the wide range of the Daily City Truck concept. In European markets, the van offers a range of models from 2.8 to six tonnes but the smallest in the UK market will be 3.2 tonnes.
