The Fiat Professional Doblo Cargo has been named Light Van of the Year for the third successive time at the prestigious What Van? Awards 2018. Meanwhile, during the awards night the Fiat Fiorino was also highly commended in the Small Van category.

The Doblo Cargo's payload of up to one tonne, the load volume of up to 5.0m3, and the range of efficient 1.3-litre and 1.6-litre diesel and 1.4-litre petrol engines have made the multi award-winning van top choicefor the awards' judging panel.

The judges were impressed by the new Doblo Cargo's class-leading attributes including excellent dynamics and comfort - courtesy of its sophisticated bi-link suspension - the segment-leading load and volume capacities and its solidity, robustness, and extensive range.

"The fact that the Doblo Cargo has won the Light Van Award for three years in a row provides compelling evidence of its enduring quality," says James Dallas, Editor of What Van?. "Top notch handling and a high standard of build quality are among the Doblo's virtues but it is the breadth of range that really sets it apart - with load volumes of 3.4m3 to 5.0m3 and payload capacities extending from 750kg to a meaty 1,005kg."

Accepting the award for Doblo Cargo, Richard Chamberlain, Country Manager, Fiat Professional, said: "We are hugely proud of both the Doblo and Fiorino and are delighted to see them claim two more high profile awards for our brand.

"These awards are particularly special as they are given by a panel of experts who truly understand the LCV market and who know what van customers are looking for. The awards are further evidence of the strength and competitiveness of Fiat Professional's van line-up, which has recently been bolstered by the arrival of the Talento and Fullback pick-up, and underline the huge strides the brand is making as it grows and enhance its reputation."

With refreshed a design, inside and out, the Fiorino is ideal for use in cities, agile in traffic and easy to park. Despite this, it has a loading capacity of up to 2.8 m3 and can carry up to 660 kg of payload. Furthermore, the Fiorino is a leader in terms of performance, low running costs, comfort and functionality.
