04.10.2007 NEW FIORINO STARS ON ITS DEBUT AT TRANSPOTEC 2007

In the exhibition area of Fiat Professional at Transpotec 2007 in Milan four models of the New Fiorino will be on show, all equipped with the amazing 1.3 75 HP Multijet engine – in addition to air conditioner, fog lights, radio with CD reader and Mp3 file - outstanding for the various passenger module configurations and versatility of the load platform.

Two of these vehicles are offered without sliding side doors, with parking sensors and a functional removable overhead light on the load platform. The third vehicle has a sliding side door and is equipped with a folding seat (passenger side) integral with the rotary bulkhead. Finally, the fourth new Fiorino is a version with two sliding side doors, equipped with folding seat (passenger side), protection ladder for the driver, passenger's airbag and "Bluetooth hands-free speaker" system.

Another novelty is a Fiorino featuring electrical drive proving that environment protection is of fundamental importance to Fiat Professional – together with all the trademarks of the Fiat Group Automobiles - in the development of its models. Ideal for distribution and transportation in the city, the new Fiorino featuring electrical traction was realized by Micro-Vett and is equipped with a three-phase asynchronous power unit with 15 / 30 kW power that allows to accelerate from 0 to 50 km/h in 7 seconds and to reach a maximum speed of over 80 km/h. Very high performance ( 20% gradients can be negotiated at full load) proving that electric traction is a valid alternative in the city, especially if combined with a robotized gearbox, able to offer a "relaxed" driving experience, also in heavy urban traffic.

The lithium-ion batteries ensure an autonomy of over 100 km for the urban cycle ECE 101 and recharge in 6-8 hours from the network with a 3 kW socket (if a 9 kW network is available, recharging s complete in only 3 hours). Finally, thanks to a large cab (2.5 m3 capacity becoming 2.8 when the seat is folded) and maximum capacity of 280 kg, the new Fiorino with electric power unit is particularly suitable for delivering small-medium parcels in city centres, markets, hospitals.
