Agrii has added five new IVECO eDaily vans to its fleet, which will be used to deliver products and equipment to its customers.

The Agrii eDaily fleet each feature four innovative modular batteries – totalling 148kWh – delivering a maximum range of up to 248 miles. The 80kW fast charging capability of these eDaily can grant an additional 62 miles of range in just 30 minutes, with the intelligent placement of its batteries within the eDaily’s truck-based chassis, meaning that there’s no compromise on load space.

Mounted to the roof of the body, all Agrii eDaily have been fitted with ultra-thin, flexible, shatterproof Trailar solar panels to supplement the onboard batteries. The panels produce up to 500kWh annually – the equivalent of more than three full charges.

The vehicles were supplied by South West Truck & Van on a 7-year R&M contract, as well as IVECO’s eDaily battery warranty, covering 155,000km and promising to retain at least 80% of the original battery capacity after 8 years.

Richard Pinnock, National Distribution Manager at Agrii, said: “Agrii has a CO2 reduction target on its distribution fleet of 36.7% by 2032. The five new eDaily will remove 83 tonnes of CO2 per annum, which represents 10% of this target. We’re making good progress!"

Mike Cutts, Business Line Director Full Range UK & ROI at IVECO UK, said: “Since its launch in 2022, our eDaily offering has gone from strength to strength, with an ever-increasing number of operators proving that their missions can be all-electric.”
