Iveco has signed up to the Government’s scrappage scheme, which means customers can scrap a van over 10 years old and get a £2,000 discount off the price of a new Daily van or chassis cab at 3.5 tonnes. 

Marketing director Andrea Bucci says the scrappage scheme is valid for all new Daily 3.5-tonners, including factory-built orders and existing dealer stock, provided the van is registered on or after May 18, 2009.

Iveco has launched a 4x4 Daily (right). Single and crew-cab versions will be available in 3.5 and 5.5 tonnes GVW.

The new model is built on a jacked-up chassis with extra steps on the outside. However, the heavyweight body means that payload suffers and the 3.5-tonne version only carries 500-600kg – less than a Renault Kangoo.

Prices range from £36,400-£40,700 excluding VAT.
