Fiat has launched a new version of its Doblò light van – a dropside version. It’s a model never offered before by a major van manufacturer for this class of van (the Doblò is broadly the equivalent of the Citroen Berlingo or Ford Transit Connect).
The Doblò Work Up is a fraction under 5m long and has an impressive payload of up to 1000kg with a load area of 4m² (2.3m long x 1.82m wide). This makes it reasonably compact for urban use but surprisingly capacious – it can take 3 Euro pallets or 33 fruit boxes. It should be ideal for a wide range of jobs – although I don’t imagine it is likely to appear in many van hire fleets.
The Doblò Work Up comes with a choice of two Euro 5 diesel engines – a 1.3 MultiJet 90bhp and a 1.6 MultiJet 105bhp. Both feature a Start-Stop system as standard, along with a diesel particulate filter. The cab comes with a glazed bulkhead window with protective metal grill as standard and there is a tool storage compartment concealed under the rear load bed.
The new Doblò Work Up costs £16,065 (basic) for the 1.3 MultiJet 16v Euro 5 and £17,065 (basic) for the 1.6 MultiJet 16v Euro 5.
