The AA has taken delivery of two Iveco eDaily electric recovery vehicles to join its growing fleet of EVs.
Its eDaily 7.2-tonne, fitted with a Dyson Powerloader, and eDaily 4.25-tonne CRT crew van feature two battery modules each – the eDaily’s modular battery system enables fleets to equip vehicles with one, two or three 37kWh units to balance range with payload and journey patterns.
Both vehicles can also rapid charge at 80kW, adding up to 62 miles of range in less than 30 minutes.
The eDaily 7.2-tonne Powerloader is able to recover stranded vehicles weighing up to 3,000kg – a key requirement as modern cars become increasingly heavy.
Meanwhile, the Powerloader body features a remote loading system with deployable ramps, boosting safety when loading stranded cars.
Also new to the fleet is the 4.25-tonne eDaily CRT crew van, designed to recover a vehicle, while hosting six occupants and the driver.
Based on an eDaily crew van, it comes with ‘AA’ embroidered leather seats and a custom table complete with drinks holders and USB chargers for smart devices.
Victory Conversions installed a roller shutter at the rear of the vehicle to store the heavy-duty TowPro CRT unit when not in use
Once deployed, this EV can recover anything from motorbikes to 4x4s thanks to a towing capacity of 3,250kg when paired with The AA’s Freewheeling Hubs.
Mike Cutts, business line director full range UK & ROI, said, “These Iveco eDaily are perfect examples of how operators can make the switch to an EV without compromising their missions.”
Max Lamon, winner of The AA’s Recovery Patrol of the Year 2024, said, “These EVs are returning impressive real-world range, excellent comfort, and responsive performance. I really enjoy driving them.”
