Record: Iveco eDaily tows 153 tons

For the record attempt, the eDaily was hitched to an Iveco X-Way Strator truck, the heavy-duty tractor unit for up to 150 tons. On the trailer of the truck was an earth-moving machine weighing more than 50 tons, plus an additional seven tons of ballast. A fully loaded Iveco X-Way 8x4 tipper truck was then coupled to the Strator trailer, before an off-road airport fire truck completed the 153-ton heavy convoy.

Once it started moving, the eDaily drove steadily down the prescribed 100-foot runway and crossed the finish line in front of the official Guinness record supervisors. During the drive, the transporter’s "Hi-Power" mode was used, which is standard equipment and is intended to give the all-electric transporter extra power under demanding towing conditions. The fitting pilot at the wheel was Britain's current strongest man, Adam Bishop.
