Daley, the express courier chugger introduced in Season 5, reuses the same model of Payce, the Tootington high speed link tunnel runner from Season 4, albeit with minor modifications. This means they have the same basis as well, which is the Siemens Velaro family:

Payce is canonically Tootington's fastest, so she was quite popular nationwide, but she and Daley never knew each other throughout their time growing up in Tootington. A couple years after Daley first came to Chuggington, which was offscreen between S4 and S5, it was noticed by multiple chuggers how similar he looked to Payce and joked about them being lost siblings. Sometime after, it was revealed they were indeed related.

Hear are some additional facts:

Payce and Daley become platonic best friends and spend a lot of their spare time together, usually racing all over Chuggington and Tootington, watching movies at ride-in theaters or hanging out with Hanzo and Koko, and got to know each other after years of not even knowing they were related.

Payce still lives in Tootington, but she and Daley become honorary Speed Fleet members. They are usually on the team with Koko and Hanzo in events and races, such as the Track Dash from the S4 episode "Team Trainee." Also, they often join Koko and Hanzo in their meditation sessions in between their passenger runs and deliveries.

As promised, Daley lets Koko assist in his express courier deliveries. This is on a semi-regular basis.

As skilled, careful and disciplined these two are, it doesn't stop Payce's bravery and Daley's confidence from causing them to end up in an incident or two on rare occasion. One frosty morning, Payce and Daley offered to grit the mountain tracks of Rocky Ridge while the Chug Patrollers were busy. Unfortunately, Daley accidentally caused a landslide by blaring his horn and they were trapped by heaps of snow and rubble. Luckily they were quickly rescued shortly after.
