Iveco spotted testing jacked-up Daily 4x4 in the snow

Tue, Jan 20 2015

The Italians go up against the Mercedes Sprinter with the Fiat Ducato, better known around these parts as the Ram ProMaster. But that's not the only full-size van associated with the burgeoning Fiat empire. So too is the Iveco Daily, and here we're looking at the latest version.

Spied undergoing cold-weather testing in the snow, this version of the Daily is a chassis cab with a cargo bed, a jacked-up suspension and four-wheel drive. The chassis cab is just one of a number of configurations available for the Iveco Daily, which is perhaps more commonly seen on roads across Europe and around the world as a cargo van or mini-bus. But the 4x4 looks new to our eyes.

Now if you're scratching your head and wondering what Iveco is and where it stands in the growing Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire, the short of it is that it doesn't. Not quite, anyway. Once part of the Fiat Group, it's now part of CNH Industrial – otherwise known as Case New Holland Â– whose largest shareholder is the same Agnelli-owned Exor holding company that controls the largest share of FCA.

That doesn't mean that the Daily, in this form or any other, will make the jump to the North American market any time soon Â– as an Iveco, a Ram or under any other brand Â– but as far as professional-grade machinery goes, this piece of forbidden fruit is looking pretty cool.
