Fiat Professional offers Ducato conversions straight from the factory

Fiat Professional has launched a new, manufacturer-approved converted business programme which will allow customers to order fully converted vehicles directly from the factory.

The 'Ready For Professionals' programme is designed to meet growing customer demand for officially converted Fiat Ducato-based vans and tippers. A range of conversions are available, in three different wheel-base options (3450mm, 3800mm and 4035mm), chassis cab and double cab, and with hundreds of customisations.

An range of MultiJet II 2.3-litre engines - 130, 150 and 180hp - are fitted to a choice of either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed Comfort-Matic manual robotised gearbox which, with two operating modes (sequential or automatic), can adapt to all driving styles.

Optional cab features include heated and sprung seats, two-seater bench with folding table, tachograph, automatic climate control, and refrigerated compartment, while outside there are LED daytime running lights, retractable headlight washers, front fog lights and electric folding mirrors.

Standard and optional safety features including Traction+, Hill Descent Control, Lane Departure Warning, Rain and Dusk Sensor, Tyre Pressure Monitoring, Electronic Stability Control, Hill Holder and Roll Over Mitigation.

"This new generation of goods transport conversions for Fiat Ducato brings a whole new side to the range," says Richard Chamberlain, country manager, Fiat Professional UK.

"The conversions will bring a new versatility along with technological innovations to the range, resulting in even greater enhancements to our customers' businesses.

"The comprehensive ranges on offer, coupled with different suspension options specific to varied usage, will make the Ducato conversions the ideal vehicles for any business. None of the engines requires AdBlue and, with a three-year, 100,000-mile warranty, and one-year roadside assistance, the range makes absolute financial sense too."
