Fiat’s commercial vehicles have featured strongly on a list of least-polluting vans in the UK government’s newly-released CO2 database figures. The Fiat Fiorino, with 116 g/km CO2 and Grande Punto van, with 119 g/km, show prominently in the Small Van category of the Department for Transport findings, while the Fiat Doblò appears among the leaders in the Medium Van sector, posting 139 g/km.

The UK government's new online database – the largest of its kind in Europe – will allow potential van users to search for commercial vehicles across the market, and compare their CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.

It’s not just low CO2 figures that set Fiat Professional vehicles apart from their rivals – the Fiorino’s combined fuel consumption figure of 64.2 mpg makes it an obvious choice for money-conscious businesses. And the Doblò figure of 52.3 mpg is among the best in its class.

Among the top-performing eco-friendly vehicles from Fiat Professional – the commercial vehicle arm of Fiat Group Automobiles SpA – are: Fiorino Cargo 1.3 MultiJet 75 Comfort-Matic – 64.2 mpg (combined), 116g/km; Fiorino Cargo 1.3 MultiJet 75 – 62.8 mpg (combined), 119 g/km; Fiorino Combi 5-seat 1.3 MultiJet 75 – 62.8 mpg (combined), 119 g/km; Grande Punto 1.3 MultiJet 75 – 62.8 mpg (combined), 119 g/km; Doblò Cargo 1.3 MultiJet 75 Extra Payload – 54.3 mpg (combined), 130 g/km; and Doblò Cargo 1.3 MultiJet 75 High Roof – 52.3 mpg (combined), 143 g/km.

“Fiat’s commercial vehicles are well-known for their style, versatility and, above all, environmental friendliness and value for money,” says Gerry Clarke, director, Fiat Professional UK. “So it’s pleasing to see us so high up the Department for Transport database, which offers an independent confirmation of the claims we have long been making about our vans.”
