Third generation (2000-2006)[]
Third generation Daily as truck
Third generation Daily as van of Swedish post office.
With third series the Daily got new light groups (wider and lower). The Turbodaily name was dropped as all turbodiesels came with Unijet technology (common rail). Two new versions were released: “Agile”, with automatic gearshift, and “CNG”, a natural gas version. Also two new load classes were introduced: Daily 65 and Daily 28 (6.5 tons and 2.8 tons). The Iveco Daily was made “Van of the Year” for the year 2000.
Apart from a revised grille and lights the third series Daily is now ‘bodily’ clearly a Renault Master. Most glass and body panels are directly transferable.
Commercial[]
CAMELEON IV440 offers a wide range of standard and specialist mission modules suitable for commercial operations including forestry, buildings and construction support, road maintenance, de-icing, gritting and snow management, accommodation and welfare support modules etc.
Principles of Operation
The CAMELEON IV440 utilises a lightweight, hydraulic load changer system (sometimes referred to as a DROPS system) to enable rapid platform reconfiguration. From a troop carrier to an ambulance, from an ambulance to a mortar platform etc. Once the mission module is aboard the base vehicle, the CAMELEON system hydraulically locks the load into place, ensuring complete safety and security – even in the event of a vehicle roll-over. For modules with integrated electrical systems an automatic inter-vehicle connection is provided, doing away with the need for the crewman to manually connect and disconnect power cables. Modules can be fitted with integral and independent environmental control systems (heating and air-conditioning), independent hydraulics (for cranes, winches etc.) and independent power generation for continued operations in the ground dismounted role.
Defence[]
Combat Role
CAMELEON De-Mountable Mortar. The Mortar is fired with the Module De-mounted behind the vehicle – for maximum stability and to aid recoil absobtion.
CAMELEON provides a range of specialist combat role mission modules designed to provide the commander with firepower and combat troop transportation. CAMELEON offers a range of weapons mounting solutions from light to heavy mounting systems, including twin medium machine guns, twin heavy machine guns and combination mounts for .50 (12.7mm) calibre, and 40mm grenade launchers.
Combat Support Role
CAMELEON can deliver a broad spectrum of combat support capabilities. From specialist tactical command modules to indirect fire support platforms, combat ambulances and engineering support modules.
Combat Service Support / Sustainment Role
CAMELEON specialist logistic support modules provide support to combat operations. Fuel delivery, repair and recovery functions, ambulances, command centres, combat emergency surgical facilities.

OVIK CAMELEON IV440 Modular Mission System
CAMELEON IV440 Modular Vehicle
The CAMELEON IV440 is a four wheel drive modular mission system vehicle designed by Jez Hermer MBE and produced by the OVIK Group. Designed and developed in 2010, the CAMELEON IV440 is based upon the IVECO Daily 4×4 chassis but incorporates a number of modifications designed by OVIK plus a range of specialist mission modules which can be interchanged rapidly, giving the vehicle a multi-functional utility. The OVIK Group integrates a bespoke hydraulic load changer system and generally ruggedises the IVECO Daily 4×4 cab, adding roll suppressor, top hatch, light covers, winch and bull bars.
Concept of Use
The general concept behind the CAMELEON system is to provide military forces, civil and emergency services and commercial users with a modular vehicle which can be reconfigured, rapidly, into a range of different roles. The load changer system enables the vehicle crew to re-role the CAMELEON into a completely new capability in under one minute; role changing is a one-man operation.
CAMELEON IV440 is designed to offer mission commanders and fleet managers very broad force packaging or flexibility in fleet management. Utilising what OVIK describe as a ‘Modular Mission System’, the simple, crew-operated mission module changer combines with a range of specialist mission modules to provide a very broad range of flexibility.

Following the entry of Ford’s commercial operation into Iveco,in 1986, The Daily 3.5 ton was soon removed from the UK market as it was now direct competition with Ford’s Transit, the Daily stayed on in the UK at rated above 4.0 ton, and now sold as Iveco-Ford Daily. The Daily has no other connection with the Transit.

The 59-12(chassis cabs and panel vans) and 59-13(minibus) models were launched (GVW 6.4 tons) All-wheel-drive variants were also made available. the Daily bridged the gap between the Transit and Cargo ranges. Turbodiesel versions are called “TurboDaily.”
