Fiat Doblò Cargo named Best Light Van in the VansA2Z Van of the Year Awards 2013

More joyous announcements have been posted on the selected vans that won awards at the VansA2Z Van of the Year Awards for 2013. Fiat Professional’s successful Doblò Cargo has secured another prestigious award after being named Best Light Van in the VansA2Z Van of the Year Awards that took place last week at an industry lunch at Lords Cricket Ground, London.

Commenting on the award, Neil McIntee, Editor of VansA2Z.com, said: “Fiat’s Doblò 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.

Here are just some of the highlights that won the Doblò the Best light van award (details posted from Fiat Professional's press release).

"Fiat Professional’s Doblò Cargo is the first LCV to have a bi-link rear suspension which ensures a smooth ride, lower loading height and better width between wheelarches. Additionally, the bi-link suspension permits a rear axle load up to 1,450kg.

Fiat Professional’s Doblò Cargo sits on an all-new platform that makes it a class leader in all the areas that matter most to professional drivers. It has great carrying capacity in both weight and size terms: up to 1 ton payload and up to 5.0 m³ volume.

The award-winning load-carrier is available with a choice of five low emissions, Euro 5-specification engines, and comes in several different forms – Cargo, Cargo Maxi, Cargo SX, Cargo Tecnico, Cargo Maxi SX, Cargo Maxi Tecnico, Combi, Combi Maxi, Platform Cab, Work Up, and XL – to offer solutions for a wide spectrum of commercial vehicle users.

The engine line-up comprises a 1.4-litre 16v 95bhp petrol unit and four MultiJet 16v diesels – 1.3 (90bhp), 1.6 (105bhp), 1.6 Comfort-Matic (90bhp) and 2.0 (135bhp)."

VansA2Z say they take their job in reviewing, driving, and testing vans "very seriously" as well as evaluating all aspects of a light commercial van/truck for the Best of 2013 award winners.

Other VansA2Z award winners include:

Overall Van of the Year - Ford new Transit Custom (also winner of Small Panel Van of the Year)
