Fiat Professional, the commercial vehicle division of the Fiat Group, has unveiled a new light van, built in partnership with PSA Peugeot Citroen. The new Fiat Fiorino light van project set out to create a van with smaller external dimensions compared to other similar vans while offering the same load capacity and serviceability, plus reduced running costs and all at very attractive price.

Fiat has introduced a new Fiorino small van to the market; prices are due to be announced soon.

Fiat believes that the new Fiorino represents a whole new choice in the light van market with its compact style, economical performance and load-space. Powered by either a 1.4-litre 74bhp petrol or 1.3-litre 76bhp MultiJet turbo diesel engine, the New Fiorino is a lively, agile vehicle in traffic and is very easy to park with a turning circle of just 9.95 metres.
 
With a length of just 3.86 metres, the New Fiorino has impressive interior dimensions: a load capacity of 2.5 cu.m and a payload of 610 kgs. Load capacity can be increased up to 2.8 cu.m just by folding down the passenger seat. Access to the load area is means of hinged rear doors and a large side sliding door. The load platform is equipped with six practical rings for restraining goods and at just 527 mm off the ground for faster loading and unloading operations.  

A range of safety equipment, including ABS anti-lock brakes and driver's airbag comes as standard. Rear parking sensors, a separate cab locking system and additional storage space are available as options. The new vans will be built in Turkey by Tofas, the country’s leading car manufacturer and is a joint venture between the Fiat and Koc groups.
