Currys PC World has taken delivery of 50 Fiat Doblo Cargo Maxi vans for its service engineers to use.
As part of a new service engineer project, these large small vans will be used for home service visits, their 1000kg payload and 4.2 cubic metre volume allowing easy transportation of large, heavy items such as washing machines and fridge freezers.
All of the vans are powered by Fiat’s 1.6-litre MultiJet diesel engine, whose low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions were a key attraction for Currys:
“The Doblo Cargo Maxi was chosen for its excellent fuel economy and low CO2 emissions, as well as the 1000kg payload,” says Martin James, managing director, VMS Fleet Management Ltd. “It was also useful that the vehicles came straight from the factory in black, as this was the colour Currys PC World requested.”
The vans are being provided by VMS Fleet Management Ltd. as part of a £600,000 deal and benefit from a high standard specification that includes ABS anti-lock brakes, electric windows, power steering and central locking.
The Doblo Cargo range starts at £12,365 (basic price) for the Cargo 1.4 16v, rising to £17,467 (basic price) for the Cargo Maxi SX 1.6 MultiJet 16v Diesel 105 Tecnico.
