An IVECO eDaily electric van has officially earned the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the “heaviest weight towed by an electric van”.
The IVECO eDaily is a prime example. Now available in a 100% electric version, very useful for “last mile” delivery companies, its 3.5-ton towing capacity is already a strong selling point. But such a product, constantly pushed into the spotlight, must prove its durability and reliability. That’s why the idea was to set a record…
On June 20, 2023, this van with an output of 140 kW – or 190 horsepower – towed 153.58 tons. An achievement all the more remarkable considering that the Italian van has only 2 driven wheels and 400 Nm of torque.
To tow such a mass, Iveco had to create a “train” of trailers consisting of a huge semi-trailer carrying earthmoving equipment (50 tons alone), a dump truck, and a fire truck from Blackbushe Airport (Surrey). To be recognized, the record required the convoy to travel at least 100 feet, or about 305 meters.
