The IVECO DAILY has been completely redesigned for the Irisbus range to provide both the driver and the operator with a world-beating MiniBus based on Iveco's wealth of experience and expertise. Built to drive like a car, but with the strength of a truck, the Irisbus Daily range of vehicles heralds a new benchmark in MiniBus manufacture, which others will find hard to follow.

With driver's comfort paramount in our design brief, the driver's area has been carefully planned, with all controls examined and re-examined to ensure that they are functional, easy to use and that the layout is ergonomically correct.

Seating is also very important for driver comfort, as we well know through our many years of experience in manufacturing heavy buses. It is no surprise then that we have used many of our trade secrets in the design of the Daily seating system. The Daily seat is adjustable for height, reach and rake providing the driver with an excellent driving position, which when coupled with the necessary support, gives total driver comfort.

Special attention has been given to reducing the noise within the saloon. With independent front suspension, improved engine performance and new body aerodynamics we have been able to reduce the noise level down to 68-dB(a) at 50 mph, similar to that of a modern passenger car.

The Daily features at its heart, a robust frame consisting of parallel side members with a “C” section made of high tensile steel. Complemented by high capacity front and rear axles, rear wheel drive and a choice of single or twin rear wheels, the Daily frame is supremely adaptable and will suit most customer requirements. With disc brakes all round, ABS and power steering as standard, all Daily models are safe and easy to drive as a car and exude confidence.

The Daily is available in three defined forms, serving three defined market sectors.

The Daily Chassis Cowl is supplied as a bare chassis, complete with cab cowl. It is for users who need to build custom made bodies.

The Daily Minibus Body Shell features a choice of sliding side door or plug door passenger access and factory produced panoramic saloon windows. All models are supplied without seats but with a fitted out interior. An aluminum floor with nine rows of quick release M2 tracking is fitted. It is for users who are looking for a vehicle with a truly flexible capacity.

The Daily MiniBus and the Daily MiniCoach are complete finished vehicles ready for the road. MiniBuses have a sliding side door whilst the MiniCoach has the plug door. All models feature factory produced panoramic saloon windows and outstanding styling. Options for the coach include TV Video Monitors and Air Conditioning.
