%.TS DAILY chassis cabs 1 be available in this counfrom July 20, and Daily is soon afterwards.
ELIE Iveco member company ifirmed this last week at tomotive Products Ltd's wing ground near Banbury ere a van, caravanette and reral chassis cab variants re on display.
['he Daily range of vehicles designed for the highly ripetitive 31/2-ton market. loth the chassis cab and van Te gross weights of 3.5 tons 14 :ons) and wheelbases of em (10ft Gin), allowing the Iss:s cab to accommodate lies of up to about 12ft in gth. The van has a load ume of 9.3cum (346cuft).
four-cylinder, naturally )irated, indirect injection -litre (152cuin) diesel ene rated at 51kW (69bhp) is in the new range. It may fitt?,d with either a Bosch or V DPA fuel injection pump i has a maximum governed ,ed of 4200rpm with a maxitm torque of 150Nm 8Itft) being developed at tOrpm.
he overhead camshaft is driven by a toothed belt and the sound-deadened cam-box cover also house the injectors. To simplify maintenance, the auxiliary section of the engine, ie oil pump, fuel pump and exhauster, may be unbolted and removed in one piece.
CM was able to get a brief driving impression of the new Fiat by taking a laden 35 FS van around the AP test track. Acceleration through the five gears was good and the ratios in the ZF gearbox being nicely spaced. There was surprisingly little body roll when cornering and the precise rack and pinion steering contributed to the feeling of stability.
Part of the nearside mirror was obscured by the quarterlight rear pillar but Fiat say this has been corrected on production models.
An unusual feature is the integral head restraint for the driver — a standard fitment, as is the nearside sliding door, fitted with an ingenious device for holding it open. The rear doors hinge to 270° to give maximum access.
We hope to test the Daily more fully on our light van test route later this year. The price is to be announced next week.
