Iveco Daily
Our store now has a fleet of 2021 Iveco Daily 35-140 models. We are probably the first Tesco store to have these facelift Iveco vans in the country. They are much better to drive than our previous fleet.

What's different from previous models? On the outside I can see underside covers and new turn signal lamps (other drivers can finally see you signalling in daylight!), and are those side cameras? What for, and why no reversing cameras?

Good questions, and I shall try to answer them!
First of all, yes the cab fascia is changed so the grille and turn signals are different (the signals from the old vans were definitely problematic for me too, not bright enough at all). Even though the changes are only slight on the cab, I really like what Iveco has done, and it's grown on me slightly.
The fridge/freezer/ambient box at the rear has been re-designed (same manufacturer as before, Solomon Commercials), so now the freezer compartment is at the rearmost of the van, and there is no divider between the fridge compartment. This means the overall length of the van is smaller by probably 20/30cm or so, whilst being able to retain the same amount of shopping in all the compartments, compared to the older vans.
A very welcome feature for me, the lights in each body compartment automatically come on when you open each compartment shutter/door, so there's no need to manually flick a switch to turn on the body lights. There is also a long blue light that shines on the floor when you open the shutters, probably a safety measure for loading/unloading at the roadside.
One of the biggest changes is the interior however, which you can see for yourself.
A new steering wheel with buttons, updated instrument cluster, an actual infotainment screen with DAB/Bluetooth integration, 'City' driving mode which makes the steering response lighter, plus 'Power' mode can now be activated through the Hi-Matic transmission (this was de-activated on our old vans, so they were constantly on 'Eco' mode).
Regarding the cameras. The rear reversing camera is mounted just above the licence plate. The side cameras are used when signalling, as it's a requirement for all commercial vehicles in London to have side/reversing cameras, and probably will come into effect in the rest of the UK, as part of various road safety schemes in the UK (LDVS (London Direct Vision Standard), FORS and CLOCS Scheme Compliance). To be honest, I find the side cameras distracting when they come on the camera screen (mounted where the rear-view mirror would normally be), especially at night, and there's no way to turn off the screen either.
I was hoping that you'd take notice of my spot/photo of one of the 20 new Iveco vans we now have

Looking at the fridge doors, am I correct in assuming that the leftmost half can only be opened after the right half is open? Because I can only see one door handle there. Also, the ambient section locking mechanism looks new, likely sturdier. It breaking was pretty common in our vans (and the ones that now serve under Kosik.cz groceries have it all broken).
Yeah, you got me pretty jelly over here. Now that looks like a modern vehicle. Several things I can't identify in the interior picture though: what's the button next to the traction control button, is it the "City" mode? What's the green thingy mounted on the center dash - is it a parking sensor beeper, or perhaps your personal anti-radar device
And the button next to the Stop-start, which in itself is a new (and unwelcome) thing to me in a fridge/freezer van. I also find the manual climate control odd, as all our 2015-2019 model vans had a digital climate control.
I think only our 2016 model year vans (the first himatics) had the PWR mode disabled. It was pretty annoying because I actually drove the later models first and developed a habit of flooring the gas shortly to force the transmission to downshift and slow down without using the brakes, which wasn't possible with PWR disabled for some reason - it just didn't downshift upon flooring the gas.
This is what our reversing camera screen looked like (in all vans, even the older 2014 models):
The image quality was abysmal but good enough at the same time. I always used to turn the screen off at night because even the night vision mode was still too bright, and it automatically came on again anyway when shifting into reverse.
Of course I would notice! I don't actually deliver Tesco shopping regularly anymore, because they gave us a lot of extra work for no extra money nor time, since we don't have any Tesco vans anymore. I do, however, check for the "Tesco" tag on Platesmania from time to time to see if any new Tesco van picture have been posted.
We have these, instead. No fridge, no freezer, nothing on the van says "Tesco", not even our t-shirts. Great advertisement for Tesco, wouldn't you say?
I still help out sometimes, out of pure nostalgia for the job, and also because it still involves a lot of actual driving compared to other delivery jobs that have a lot more stops on a much smaller range.

jaramat (2021-04-05 22:38:24)You would be correct with that assumption. The right door opens first, and the left door is held in place with a latch attachment on the metal crate dividers. The ambient shutter latch mechanism is much sturdier, maybe too sturdy in fact, as it often locks whilst driving and doesn’t disengage, so it’s a total pain in the arse to get hold of the keys every time you need to unlock it. I should also mention that the vans also have sensors which let you know in the middle top screen (where the reversing/side cameras show their feeds), that a shutter/door is open and/or if the side steps are down. Pretty useful should you forget, which I have very very rarely done, but realised quickly soon after.
So next to the traction control button is that ‘city’ mode. The green ‘thingy’ is our driver monitoring system called Lightfoot, which measures how well/efficient you are driving using a live ‘traffic light-style’ system whereby you get scored for every drive you do as a percentage. To be classed as an ‘elite driver’ by Lightfoot, you need to get a score of 85% in the green. Once you’re an ‘elite driver’ you can enter various competitions and ‘lotteries’, where you can win various prizes like Amazon gift cards, supercar experience days, and in the lotteries you can win up to £100 each week. I’ve only won £2 here, £3 there, and once won £10, which was quite nice. It’s a good way to incentivise good driving I guess, though it means that trying to get up to speed anywhere without it screaming at you, is easier said than done. Most supermarket shopping delivery services here now all use the Lightfoot system, having spoken to a few ASDA drivers previously too.
I actually did know about what that button did next to the stop-start button, but I’ve forgotten now for some reason. It looks like an eye/oval with two lines pointing down. I call it the ‘Summon UFO’s’ button due to how it looks
Yeah that reversing camera screen is the same as what we have. The new vans also have a top-side van graphic on the right hand side to show how far from objects you are with the vans sensors. Picture quality is also awful for us too!
It’s a shame that you don’t work for Tesco as such anymore, but I understand if it’s more work for less money, there isn’t any point really. Glad you’re liking the Tesco van photos though, I’ve recently been through all the photos I got of our old fleet vans, including some of the spare ones we drove (Annoyingly I never got a photo of the old 2014 previous generation model I drove once). There are maybe 30+ photos for me to post, plus a couple that I’ve spotted in other cities out of curiosity.
I absolutely sympathise with you in that it’s much more fun to do the driving job when you’re going further distances. I much enjoy van trips that take me 30-40km away to different towns/villages, doing well over 100km on a trip, in comparison to local drops around my city, where I’ll barely do 20km. Plus, this job allows me to indulge in my hobby of plate-spotting/vehicle-spotting too!

Took me a month to notice few more things about these new vans - first, the freezer compartment is at the back of the box, doesn't it make the compressor work harder to keep the temperature low in the sun? And they also don't have the front cabin spoiler.
The Lightfoot system sounds like a real nightmare. Can you turn it off or at least mute it? Or, you know, pull a cord, like we did with the seatbelt chime.
By the way, do you have "assigned cars"? Like do you drive the same van several days in a row, or do you jump cars constantly?
Sorry it took me a better part of the month to put a reply together. You make some nice photos, a little wild on the colors but still a sight to behold. Do post more!

jaramat (2021-05-01 23:10:49)Sorry for the late response!
Yes the freezer is at the far rear of the van now. Given that the doors have very heavy duty rubber seals, it doesn't take long for the chiller and freezer compartments to get to optimum temperature. I'm unsure why the cabin spoiler has been omitted from these vans, that's one of the things I don't like about the look of these vans, looks less sleek (probably makes fuel ecomony worse too).
The Lightfoot system is permenant, like a 'black box' system, with 'anti-tamper' tape attached to the unit. Some of the vans have issues with the Lightfoot system, in that they often lag. For example, last night when driving BP70 DVV, the system would be lagged by about 10 seconds, so wouldn't respond to acceleration until 10 second later. This proves incredibly annoying, as you should be able to have it register your driving habits in 'real time'. Some of the spare vans we have, have non-working Lightfoot systems, which are a joy to drive as you can be much more lively with acceleration, helpful when merging onto high-speed roads from side roads.
For the most part, I can be put onto any van run, though our vans are assigned a van run number, through 1-20. Through the week, I'm not assigned a van, but on Sundays, I'm always on van run 20, so my van is BP70 DVZ, which I managed to hit the magic 10,000mi milestone already last weekend!
Thank you, I'm constantly trying to find new and interesting locations to get photos of our van fleet at!

I don't mind the lack of the spoiler, I may actually like it more without it. But that's just me, "the guy who likes the old vans". I also never really noticed any difference in fuel consumption with/without spoiler (this press release from 2015 (CZ) claims 3.8% improvement with the same engine&transmission over the previous generation).
You make me loathe Lightfoot just by describing it. I'd go crazy with something screaming at me all day, not being able to mute it.
This is what our daily van assignment/trip schedule looks like. Our boss knows who drove which van the day before and gives that person the same van, if possible. The van trip number (we use letters) is assigned in the morning by a draw so nobody gets to complain they "always get the heaviest trips" (unless they are unlucky). This is an old photo, so the vans with plate numbers in there aren't in service anymore (and I think one of them has been scrapped since).
Of course, each dotcom department use different system, some draw van trips, some draw vans, some use the "first come first served" system. I've always found "our" system the best.
Here's a photo of one of the vans in the press release, just 6 years and measly ~220k km later. Who knows what fate has in store for it...
