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.”
