Fiorino van claims world title at fuel economy test 17 October 2011

A new Fiat Fiorino Cargo van more than proved its miserly fuel claims, winning the overall best mpg title in the ALD Automotive Shell FuelSave mpg Marathon.

The 1.3-litre MultiJet diesel 75 Euro 5 van returned 82.96mpg over the economy test's 370-mile course, using less than four and a half gallons of fuel to take the title. Interestingly, the overall mpg figure achieved was 26.27% better than the official combined figure for the van.

"I was really impressed that the Fiorino was able to achieve over 80mpg on a tough route that included plenty of steep hills, heavy traffic and strong headwinds," comments driver John Kerswill. "It's a great little van to drive, too."

Paul Godden, brand manager for Fiat Professional says: "We know the Fiorino Cargo is an economical van to own and drive, so it's great news when our claims are proved so conclusively in a tough test like this one."
