\"FiatFiat Professional’s Dobl\u00f2 Cargo small van<\/a>\u00a0was named Best Light Van in the VansA2Z Van of the Year Awards for 2013 announced yesterday at an industry lunch at Lords Cricket Ground, London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The award was presented to Sebastiano Fedrigo, director, Fiat Professional UK, who said:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Dobl\u00f2 Cargo has been a huge success ever since it was launched and is widely recognised as a class-leader in its category.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to receive this honour from the VansA2Z team. It provides further proof of the all-round qualities of this excellent vehicle.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Commenting on the award, Neil McIntee, Editor of VansA2Z.com, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cFiat\u2019s Dobl\u00f2 Cargo is one of the most impressive vans of its size to have been launched over the past few years. That is why we have made it our Light Van of the Year for 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the aspects that really appeals is the unique and intelligently designed rear suspension system. A bi-link independent set-up, it has been installed with an eye to enhancing ride and handling, and has done just that. Light in weight, it\u2019s compact too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat really impresses is the breadth of model choice available. Drivers are going to be happy too. It rides and handles well with the rear suspension coping admirably, both laden and unladen. A great piece of functional design from the Italian manufacturer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
