The appeal of Fiat’s Doblo Cargo van range has been
broadened with a drop-side utility version.
Called the Doblo Work Up, it's a ‘dropside’ vehicle designed for use in urban areas. The load box
is 2.30 m long and 1.82 m wide, with 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 1,450
kg.
The load box is made of high-resistance steel with a floor made from anti-slip multilayer wood and
sides in aluminium alloy. Under 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 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.
These features make the Fiat Doblo Work Up ideal for a variety of uses. It can take three Euro
pallets or 33 boxes of fruit.
The new Doblò Work Up 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 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 Doblo Work Up is unrivalled. To ensure optimum dynamic performance,
comfort and active safety, the vehicle has been equipped with innovative mechanical solutions, among
them multi-link rear suspension, stability control, and ABS anti-lock brakes with EBD electronic
brakeforce distribution. Available as an option is ESP with 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 Up 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 with reduced operating costs, and equipment levels all combine with safety and
comfort, to make this a commercial vehicle well worth consideration.”
