The new Fiat Professional Scudo Crew Van, which will be on display at the Birmingham CV Show from 9-11 April 2013
Fiat Professional will be fielding an impressive seven-vehicle display on its stand at the Birmingham CV Show, with further vehicles displayed outside.
The display is intended to demonstrate the breadth of Fiat’s range, especially its range of conversions. The display on Fiat’s indoor stand at Birmingham will include the following vans:
- Scudo Crew Van (NEW)
- Ducato Van Tecnico
- Ducato Tipper (NEW)
- Doblò Work Up
- Doblò XL Cargo
- Fiorino Cargo
- Fiorino Crew Van (NEW)
Outdoors, one of the vehicles on display will be Ducato Luton, showcasing another conversion on this popular base vehicle.
New Scudo Crew Van
Fiat Professional’s new Scudo Crew Van is powered by Fiat’s 2.0 MultiJet 130hp engine and is available on both short and long wheelbase bodies. The Scudo Crew Van has been developed with Snoeks Automotive, a leading European specialist in this sector that produces a range of double cab conversions for popular vans. The Scudo conversion will offer six seats and a semi-glazed configuration with the specific components being supplied by Snoeks and assembled directly on the assembly line.
The rear cabin features a comfortable three seat bench which has individual head rests and each seat has a three-point seatbelt. The rear seats feature the same upholstery as that of the front seats. A bulkhead with window is positioned behind the rear seats providing protection against load intrusion into the cabin.
Ducato Conversions
Fiat Professional will be exhibiting two Ducato conversions at the show, the new Ducato Tipper, and a Ducato Luton conversion by Trucksmith Vehicle Body Builders on display outside.
The new Ducato Tipper is based on a MWB chassis and has been developed with VFS (Southampton) Ltd, a leading commercial vehicle converter specialising in high quality Tipper and Dropside conversions. Further details will be available at the show.
The popular and Ducato Tecnico panel van model will also be on display — I’ve written about this edition before and it does seem good value and attractively specified.
