The power is transmitted through a revised six-speed manual gearbox, for those that don’t want the popular eight- speed automatic. The manual is capable of handling up to 15% more torque than the previous box. It is also said to offer improved shifting and greater opera- tor comfort.

Iveco is still some way off the launch of the next generation Daily Electric, which should be launched in Q2 of 2022, with deliveries starting later that year.
