The company – which has been trading for more than a century – ordered the new long wheelbase Daily 35S13 vans to replace six older Daily vehicles that have been on the fleet for the last five years.
Built on a 3,950mm wheelbase and with a medium height roof, the new Dailys offer 15.6m³ of load space and a potential payload capacity of more than 1.2 tonnes. They have been supplied by Iveco dealer Grays Truck & Van.
They have each been specified with the “Daily Plus” options pack, which adds cruise control, provision for a TomTom navigation unit, heated electric mirrors and an additional storage shelf. The rear doors can also be opened 270 degrees wide, folding back against the side of the vehicle, whilst a sliding door has been specified to provide optimal access.
Richard Bucksey, transport manager at White Knight Laundry Services, said: ‘We’ve purchased Iveco Daily vans several times before; they are the perfect size for our requirements, have always been very reliable and are popular with our drivers.
‘Despite being such a large van, the Daily’s tight turning circle and excellent all-round visibility means we haven’t found a customer’s site we can’t access yet! The Daily’s overall manoeuvrability has been a key factor in our decision to keep buying from Iveco.’
