“It’s always a pleasure to receive an award for one of our vans, so to be able to accept two was a great honour,” said Gerry Clarke, director, Fiat Professional, who received the trophies from iVan editor John Fife.
“It’s a tribute to Fiat Professional and its wonderful range of vehicles that we continue to be in the running for CV industry accolades and long may that continue. The vans certainly deserve their recognition,” added Clarke.
Both vans are the result of the long term partnership between Fiat and PSA. They are designed for Europe’s crowded towns and cities, proving to be a hit among small business owners.
Powered by a choice of three common rail diesel engines (a 1.6-litre developing 90bhp, and a 2.0-litre available with 120 or 140bhp) Scudo prices start at £14,965 (basic price) for the Business 1.6 MultiJet.
On the other hand, the Fiorino is powered by a choice of two engines (73 bhp 1.4 petrol and 75 bhp 1.3 MultiJet turbodiesel), with prices starting at £9,085 (basic price) for the 1.4 8v Petrol.
“Our awards are chosen by both fleet and retail customers and in choosing two Fiat vans it’s obvious that the Fiat Professional range is striking a chord with both types of users,” iVan editor John Fife said in a release. “The Fiorino was chosen due largely to its driveability and ingenious use of space, while the Scudo scored high marks for its storage and excellent load capacity.”
