Iveco Daily Blue Power - CNG of the year

Blue is Iveco's green

The Blue Power line-up has been recognised with a number of awards, including International Van of the Year 2018, Sustainable Truck of the Year 2018 (van category), Light Commercial Vehicle of the Year 2018 in Spain and, most recently, Van of the Year 2018 in Denmark. The latter title was awarded to the Daily Blue Power by the MKD (Motorjournalistternes Klub Danmark – Danish Motoring Journalists Association) during the Vestfyn Trækker fair, which took place in May 25-27 in Ejby in southern Denmark.

A fitting present

Symbolically, the award comes in time to celebrate the Daily's 40^th birthday. The Iveco was pitted against 14 rivals and then shortlisted along with 4 other models for a final trial. Eventually, it won by far – with 52 points collected, it was 15 points ahead of the runner-up. Danish judges particularly liked the Daily for its environmental credentials, excellent working conditions for the driver and low emission of noise. The latter is especially true for the electric variant of the Daily Blue Power, but also the CNG one is very silent. And the diesel? Well, it's quiet too. For a diesel.

Ahead of its time

The Daily Hi-Matic Natural Power, as the methane version is officially called, comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission. As the remaining two variants in the Blue Power family, it is way ahead of emissions regulations and already meets stringent norms to be introduced in 2020. With this vehicle, no city centre is closed for deliveries. Given you have the infrastructure at hand to refuel with CNG, the Daily Natural Power just might be your best choice when it comes to vans. Just saying...
