IVECO also unveils at IAA 2022 the new colour it has chosen for its brand logo to signal the strength of this ambition, “powering up” its flagship blue by switching to the new “Energy Blue” shade, a contemporary colour that associates the brand with power, dynamism and digital innovation.
IVECO: a unique legacy to drive the road of change
The exhibition stand draws in visitors and takes them on a journey through IVECO history, which begins with the brand’s Tree of Energy: an inverted tree with roots pointing up to the historic brands in IVECO’s unique legacy — FIAT, OM, Lancia, Unic, Magirus, Pegaso. The Tree of Energy harnesses this rich heritage to power the brand’s latest technologies displayed around it on the stand. IVECO’s forward-looking vision is tangible throughout the stand: 17 vehicles representative of the brand’s latest alternative propulsion solutions and dedicated integrated services.

A further 29 vehicles are exhibited in the outdoor area, showcasing the brand’s full line covering all light, medium and heavy commercial vehicle missions as well as people mobility. IVECO is also offering visitors the opportunity to test drive the new IVECO eDAILY BEV, Nikola Tre BEV and prototype eDAILY FCEV, and experience the DAILY featuring the revolutionary Air Pro suspension.
New eDAILY: a game changer in zero emissions regional transport
IVECO leads the charge toward zero-emission electric transport with the official launch of the eDAILY. The ‘electric twin’ of the iconic DAILY, it offers the full range with all body variants — van, cab and minibus, from 3,5 t to 7,2 t. It maintains the DAILY’s celebrated signature features and features a 37kWh fully modular battery set that allows range optimization and makes the eDAILY adaptable to all missions.

The new eDAILY also breaks new ground by introducing electric vehicles in the conversion business with the game-changing opportunity to install different types of ePTOs up to 15 kW. This means that it can power refrigeration units, cranes and other superstructures — even the most demanding ones such as waste collection and aerial platforms, as showcased on the stand.
IVECO offers a full ecosystem of services with the eDAILY to help customers find their way to e-mobility. Dedicated eservices include the innovative eDAILY Routing app, which interacts with the vehicle to predict vehicle range, required battery charges to reach the destination, and the precise arrival time. The IVECO ON Easy Daily app, integrated with the IVECO DRIVER PAL vocal assistant, offers information specific to electric vehicles, such as vehicle health check, battery level, remote scheduling of recharge and preconditioning, navigation to recharging stations, and more.

Sustainability, Business Productivity and Driver Experience: IVECO’s strategic pillars
The display on IVECO’s stand is organized in three areas dedicated to the brand’s strategic pillars, which are embodied by its flexible full-line offering of products integrated with a complete range of digital and connected services.
The TurboStar special edition of the IVECO S-WAY pays homage to one of the brand’s most iconic, innovative and commercially successful trucks.
Two Daily special editions unveiled during the press conference offer a unique combination of past and future as they take inspiration from two iconic OM vehicles from the 50s and 60s, the Tigrotto and the Leoncino. These vehicles played a fundamental role in the world of transport, leaving their mark on the booming economy of those years. The Leoncino special edition is a vintage interpretation of the new eDAILY, while the Tigrotto is a variant of the 4×4 Daily.
