Muscat: Ahmed Al Riyami Global Holding, one of the renowned names in Water distribution operations in Oman has recently taken delivery of all-new IVECO Daily vans from International Integrated Equipment (IIE), an exclusive dealer of IVECO commercial vehicles in Sultanate of Oman. These vehicles have been leased through Elegant Enterprises and car services.
The vehicle handover ceremony was presided by Marco Torta (IVECO Area Manager – Gulf), Abdul Aziz Farid (IVECO Country Manager), Ahmed Said Al Riyami (Chairman – Ahmed Al Riyami Global Holding), Yousef Al Flaiti (CEO – Ahmed Al Riyami Global Holding) & other senior officials of IIE and Autorent.
The completely re-engineered IVECO Daily has set a new benchmark, with its unmatched features like best in class load volume efficiency, car-like comfort, driveability, safety and fuel economy.
Ahmed Said Al Riyami, chairman of Ahmed Al Riyami Global Holding commented, “We have strong business relationship with Suhail Bahwan Group. We rely on IVECO’s class-leading specifications as this vehicle is meeting with standards in productivity and safety.”
The new Daily is a perfect balance between cutting-edge innovations and the continued evolution of the Daily’s strong heritage. The Daily is a “global” vehicle: more than 2.6 million Daily vehicles have been sold to date in over 110 countries worldwide.
The Ladder Frame Chassis:
While 80% of components have been redesigned, the new Daily has preserved its classic ladder frame chassis structure, which has long been a key part of its DNA and ensures its sturdiness. The ladder frame chassis is a vital element in the vehicle’s robustness and modularity: the load carrying the structure of the chassis with a C-profile, made from high-resistance steel, is guaranteed to be long-lasting and afford maximum bodybuilding flexibility.
The new front suspension QUAD-LEAF, standard on 3.5 tonnes single wheels, constitutes the excellent blend between the two-previous single- and twin-wheel versions, guaranteeing increased load carrying capacity of the first and ground clearance and maximum allowed payload on axles of the latter.
For the single-wheel models, the rear suspension has also been redesigned, which has yielded two important improvements: a decrease in the height of the load platform by approximately 55 millimetres to facilitate vehicle loading and unloading, and a reduction of oversteer in load transfers when cornering.
Ergonomic Design:
The ergonomic design of the controls is at the top of its category, the sound insulation has been improved, the air conditioning system is more efficient and driving comfort is excellent in all load conditions.
The New Daily van: The new architecture
With the new longer wheelbases, the New Daily can offer a new range of load carrying volumes. The new 18 and 19.6 m3 models are the best in their category in terms of available load space and the 10.8 m3 version is the best in terms of load efficiency, an indicator that measures the ratio between the length of the load platform and the total length.
The New Daily van is the only vehicle with a GVW of up to 7 tonnes and load carrying capacity of up to 4,000 kg that allows the same volumes to be transported with fewer trips, thus reducing costs and increasing productivity. These features make it the vehicle of choice for transport professionals, both for distribution and for all applications that require large volumes, excellent performance and durability under pressure.
Profitability: The New Daily offers the best fuel economy ever
The New Daily features important technologies, which aim to limit consumption that offers best in class fuel economy.
The New Daily features a design as sophisticated as any car, but it has its own, clear identity, which it proudly displays because its shape is closely linked to its function. The headlamps are in a raised position and retracted to avoid damage in the case of minor impacts. The continuous line between the headlamps and the front grille descends to highlight the energy and road holding. The bands, which encase all the sides, protect the body and aesthetically separate the lower section with the mechanical parts from the upper section which is dedicated to the cab and the load compartment. The larger glazed area makes the interior compartment feel brighter and increases vertical visibility, and the new style improves vehicle aerodynamics.
The New Daily range includes vans, semi-window vans, chassis cabs, chassis crew cabs, chassis cowls and minibus versions.
Al Riyami Group will be utilising this vehicle for transportation of water bottles across Oman. The Al Riyami Group is an integral contributor to the water industry in Oman. Their Water solutions range from world-class pumps to water & wastewater management as well as advanced Water feature solutions.
