Fiat Plans Natural Gas Variant for New Model Fiat Doblò

Fiat announces details of the new Fiat Doblò

In keeping with their methane vehicle strategy, Fiat has announced the inclusion of a bi-fuel gasoline/natural gas model in the lineup of the 2010 Fiat Doblò. The range offers Start&Stop functionality as standard, which cuts off the engine temporarily when the car is stopped to guarantee reduced fuel consumption and emissions.

Also on offer will be a 95 HP petrol engine and three diesel Multijet engines, 90, 105 and 135 HP. Compared to the previous version that sold approximately one million units, the new model has been completely revamped in terms of style, engines and technical specifications. All this has been achieved through the use of a new platform, more passenger space (with a wheelbase of 2755 mm, the biggest in its segment), a roomy 790 litre luggage compartment, reduced CO2 emissions, standard safety features and highly modular interiors with seats that can be folded and tilted.

The new Fiat Doblò is joined by the new Doblò Cargo. Fiat says the new vehicle can offer substantial benefits in terms of optimisation and reduction of running costs.

The range finds expression in 7 different body types: short and long wheelbase van, high top van, short and long wheelbase 5-seater combi; a particularly appealing and brand-new short and long drop-framed version can be easily and cheaply converted for specific trades (refrigeration chambers, fixed and tilting flatbed trucks).

Fiat will launch the new gasoline and diesel versions of the Doblò in January 2010 with the natural gas model to follow at a later date.
