2012 Fiat Doblo Work Up news, pictures, and information

FIAT PROFESSIONAL LAUNCHES NEW DOBLÒ WORK UP

The appeal of Fiat Professional's award-winning Doblò Cargo van range has just been broadened wîth a version never before introduced by a large volume manufacturer.

Called the Doblò Work Úp, it's a 'dropside' vehicle wîth compact external dimensions allowing easy use in urban areas. The external dimensions are not, however, a limit to its performance. The load box is 2.30 m long and 1.82 m wide, wîth 4 m2 of loading area which can accommodate a payload of up to 1,000kg. Additionally, the multi-link suspension permits a rear axle load up to 1,450kg.

The load box is made of high-resistance steel wîth a floor created from anti-slip multilayer wood and sides in aluminium alloy. Únder the floor is a compartment for stowing long tools, safely protected from the elements.

In addition, on each side of the vehicle there is a small, practical step that allows the user to get into the load area. This structure has a ladder rack/door poles, load restraining hooks, and a sturdy protective grille on the rear window of the cab.

All these features make the Doblò Work Úp ideal for agriculture, construction, maintenance or city parks services sectors. It is ideal for the transport of frames and glass and can take, for example, three Euro pallets or 33 boxes of fruit.

The new Doblò Work Úp is powered by a choice of two Euro 5 turbodiesel engines: 1.3 MultiJet 90 bhp and 1.6 MultiJet 105 bhp. Both engines are characterised by excellent performance, low noise, low operating costs (fuel consumption and maintenance), reliability and environmental friendliness. Both feature the fuel-saving Start&Stop system and diesel particulate filter.

In terms of security, the new Doblò Work Úp is unrivalled. To ensure optimum dynamic performance, comfort and active safety, the vehicle has been equipped wîth innovative mechanical solutions, among them multi-link rear suspension, stability control, and ABS anti-lock brakes wîth EBD electronic brakeforce distribution. Available as an option is ESP wîth Hill-holder, which assists the driver during hill starts.

Front airbags complete the safety specification, while high-tech equipment such as a handsfree Blue&Me system and the Blue&Me TomTom navigator are available.

'The new Doblò Work Úp is the latest evolution of a model designed to be top of its class in terms of performance and functional characteristics, its capability and ease of loading,' says Francesco Russiello, Marketing Product Manager, Fiat Professional. 'Its low running costs, low fuel consumption wîth reduced operating costs, and equipment levels all combine wîth safety and comfort, to make this a commercial vehicle well worth consideration.'

The new Doblò Work Úp costs £16,065 (basic) for the 1.3 MultiJet 16v Euro 5 and £17,065 (basic) for the 1.6 MultiJet 16v Euro 5.

Zora Arkus-Duntov's racing-bred development legacy continues to improve Corvette It's been said that racing improves the breed, and when it comes to the Chevrolet Corvette, nearly six decades of checkered flags are the proof.

1990 Hungarian Grand Prix: The Third Time's the Charm
On March 1st, 1992 Williams would debut its new FW14B. On the outside, it would appear no different than the previous year's car. But underneath Newey's design would be an array of technology that would start a revolution in Formula One. Complete with a semi-automatic gearbox, active suspension, anti-lock brakes and traction control, the FW14B was well ahead of its time and it would usher in technology that would be in use more than a decade later. It would dominate the 1992 season and give Nige...[Read more...]
Fiat 500 Hits The 100,000 UK Sales Mark
Further proof of the Fiat 500 city car's outstanding success in the UK was revealed today with the news that the 100,000th example was sold here last month – just four and a half years since its launch.
