Fiat experts recently developed Doblo Commercial has won two major honours , just after few days after the van’s introduction into the UK .

The new commercial van , which was offered on market here in March, has been known as Best Light Van in the 2010 Van Fleet World Honours, announced today (18 May) in London . Fiat also got the competition’s Environment Award for the Start&Stop fuel-saving technology available to Doblo Cargo.

Following in the Path of the original Doblo Cargo, which was first announced in 2000, the new model continues to keep up its predecessor’s reputation as a business vehicle for the professional rider . New Doblo gives even greater practicality, versatility, comfortableness, safety and fuel efficiency .

Not only does it have greater loading capability than before in both weight and size terms, but new suspension makes sure the ride isbetter . And a new range of Euro 5-compliant engines makes Doblo Cargo cleaner and cost effect to run .

The Start&Stop system stops the engine automatically, without the rider turning the ignition key, whenever traffic situation  bring the vehicle to a full stop, and restarts it when the rider wants to move off again. This can reduce fuel consumption by fifteen per cent and decrease carbon dioxide emissions by around four per cent.

Doblo Cargo is the only commercial van in its class to have this function (available ~ offered} across all engines.

“When new Doblo Cargo was launched recently, the model took the kind of step forward it has requisite for the past few years,” says John Kendall, editor, Van Fleet World, and one of the judges. “Among its attributes are new engines, a bigger body option in the UK for the first time, and a well thought out vehicle that is good to drive.

“It is not only a importantly better van than its predecessor but, as already noted, is the first van to offer a stop/start system as standard with 2.0-litre diesel powered models. Research has shown that an automatic stop/start system offers the largest potential economy gain, while also cutting idling time and reducing noise in urban traffic.”

“We have been delighted with the way new Doblo transporter has been received by the media and by private and fleet customers,” says Gerry Clarke, director, Fiat Van Professional in the UK. “And important awards such as these from the 2010 Van Fleet World Honours, show that it is catching the attention of the judging experts too, for all the right reasons.”

The Fiat Doblo Cargo starts at £11,195 (basic price) for the Cargo 1.4 16v Petrol, rising to £15,945 (basic price) for the diesel-powered Cargo Maxi SX 2.0 MultiJet 16v.
