Iveco Daily Citybus

The Iveco Daily Citybus is a minibus or midibus that carries 14 or 19 passengers plus the driver. It is offered in several versions and is built at the Italian Iveco plant at Brescia, by the Brazilian subsidiary of Iveco since 2000, and locally in China by the joint venture Naveco. Produced in three versions on the 45S17 and 55C17 chassis, it has gone through the same developments as the chassis of the Daily van. It is meant for short and medium distance transport in a normal or a luxury finish, and a school bus version is also offered. The engine is the Iveco FPT F1C DS of 2,998 cubic centimetres, giving 170 horsepower DIN (125 kilowatts) at 3,500 revolutions per minute and a torque of 400 newton metres at 1,300. The versions differ in length and so in capacity, with 14 plus 1 seats on the 45S17 chassis and 19 plus 1 on the 55C17, and wheelbases of 3,300 and 3,950 millimetres. Equipment includes a wide front door, a washable high resistance floor covering, reclining seats with belts, a roof window, luggage racks, reading lamps, air conditioning and a CD player, and the luxury version is carpeted with velour on the walls. All the diesel engines use exhaust gas recirculation and a standard particulate filter, and the safety package includes ESP 9, ABS, hill holder and emergency braking assistance.
