A bespoke finance package on selected Fiat Professional vehicles is being offered to van and minibus owners and operators affected by next year's Low Emission Zone (LEZ) changes in London.
The package includes a six-month payment holiday – which, in many cases, will allow the vehicle to be used with no capital repayment until the LEZ charges come in to place on 3 January 2012.
Under the terms of the deal, all the van user will be required to pay up-front is the VAT.
In addition to the payment holiday, a low finance rate of 1.1% will be applied to vehicles eligible in the scheme – which include: Fiorino Cargo, Doblò Cargo, Scudo Van, Ducato Van and Ducato Minibus.
The company says, using the deal, a Fiat Fiorino Cargo 1.3 MultiJet 75, including side sliding door, can be driven for as little as £195 a month.
"This is an excellent scheme which will benefit many Fiat Professional customers," says Gerry Clarke, director, Fiat Professional UK.
"And it will be extended to vehicles of 10 years or older and to all UK customers – not just those inside the LEZ area. We appreciate that many businesses travel in to London on a daily basis from outside of the LEZ area," he adds.
