The latest batch to join the 900 Dailies already in Tesco’s fleet have 136hp diesel engines and 8-speed automated gearbox. Cost saving options fitted include tyre pressure monitoring, reverse alarm, touch-screen for navigation and radio and telematics connecting the vehicle to Iveco’s to monitoring system.
Tesco operates its vehicles for up to five years dependent on mileage, and it expects the new Daily units will clock up around 30,000 miles each year.
