Fiat Fullback Axed From Professional Line-up


The Fiat Fullback pickup has been axed from the Fiat Commercial Vehicle line-up due to the new emissions laws as well as a poor sales record.

Fiat announced the news at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham this year by Richard Chamberlain, head of Fiat Professional.

Based on the popular and award-winning Mitsubishi L200, the Fullback was due to be updated later this year but Fiat decided not to continue with its own version. It was originally a badge engineering exercise and the Fullback was the same truck as the L200 with a slightly altered specification.

Although this announcement has sent ripples through the world of Fiat, the Professional range is marching strongly with the remaining line-up including the Ducato, Talento, Doblo and Fiorino. This all translates that even with the new emissions laws coming in to force in September 2019, they will all meet the guidelines.

Ford extend payment holidays until September

Image
Ford of Britain have decided to extend its offering of six-month payment holidays to new van buyers in a bid to keep customers buying new commercial vehicles during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is called the Ford ‘Peace of Mind’ programme and was initially launched to run through April and May of this year but they soon decided to extend it until the end of June.

The scheme allows customers to defer the first three payments (after they part with the initial deposit) of their finance agreement. Then the following three payments will be covered by Ford in one single payment, capped at £750 - £1,600, depending on which vehicle the customer has. Something also worth noting is that buyers of Ford vans (including the Ford Transit Custom and large Transit that are available with 0% APR) can opt out of paying anything for the first six months of the finance agreement. This is onl...
