Leading industry publication Auto Express has named the Fiat Professional Ducato as Van of the Year 2022. North East Truck & Van takes a look at the award win.
The latest version of the Ducato was complimented for the quality of the interior, exceptional range of body styles and connectivity options. Highlighted technology includes speed limitation, braking control, road sign recognition and driver attentiveness monitoring.
Steve Fowler, Auto Express editor-in-chief, commented: “Evolution is very much the keyword when it comes to the van market. Makers strive to bring their models up to date with the latest tech, while still maintaining or trying to improve the payload weights and cargo volumes that operators are used to. The latest Fiat Ducato is a prime example of this, which is why it takes our Van of the Year award.” He added “The safety kit on board is a big plus, the sheer variety of panel van lengths and conversions on offer mean there’s something for everyone. Additionally, the higher specs get car-like kit such as digital dials and a big touch screen that’s easy to get on with and offers lots of connectivity.”
Speaking about the award win, Richard Chamberlain, Head of Fiat Professional in the UK, said: “We are delighted that the New Ducato continues to make waves in the industry, scooping up its second award of the year and maintaining its status as a market leader across Europe”.
