Fiat Professional will use the upcoming Commercial Vehicle Show as a prime opportunity to debut a number of new models in the UK next month.
The Doblò Cargo, voted International Van of the Year 2011, will be the centrepiece of the Italian manufacturer's stand which will also include the recently introduced Euro 5 Fiorino range and the Punto Evo Van.
With a greater carrying capacity than before in both weight and size terms, the Doblò Cargo features a new range of Euro 5-compliant engines which make it cleaner and cheaper to run. Start&Stop technology is included as standard giving up to 15% fuel savings and a low CO2 figure from just 126g/km.
The Euro 5 engines are also available in the Fiorino Combi range, which features five seats (four on the commercial version) as well as van-like space.
The full line-up of Fiat Professional’s stand will include Scudo Van L2H1 12Q – Comfort 2.0 MultiJet 120BHP, Ducato 35 Van 2.3 litre 120 MultiJet LWB HR, Ducato 35 Cab 2.3 Litre 120 MultiJet Diesel LWB Low Loader Plant & Go conversion by KFS Special Vehicles Ltd, Doblò Cargo Base 1.3 MultiJet 16v Diesel 90bhp, Doblò Cargo SX 1.3 litre MultiJet 16v Diesel 90 bhp, Fiorino Cargo SX 1.3 litre MultiJet Diesel 75 bhp Euro 5, Punto Evo Van 1.3 Dynamic MultiJet Diesel 95 bhp S&S Euro 5 and Doblò Cargo Maxi SX 1.6 MultiJet 16v Diesel 105 bhp (Outside Display)

From a business perspective, it is great that the Fiat Doblo Cargo is effective with low fuel consumption and running cost, specially nowadays that petrol prices are increasing, anything that can help to cut costs down is brilliant.

I'm interested to see how the Fiorino combi goes down. The van I've got is a Fiorino and I haven't fallen out with it yet. Can't say the wife is overly keen on it but I'm not sure that there's been a van made that can appeal to her.
