Fiat builds a Ducato 4x4 camper van concept

Fiat has unveiled its rugged-looking Ducato 4x4 Expedition Camper Show Van.

Based on a long-wheelbase, high-roof Ducato with an extended rear overhang, the Expedition Camper should be fairly capable off-road thanks to a four-wheel drive system from Dangel, a raised ride height and some all-terrain tyres. Also fitted are a winch, a front skid-plate and a roof-mounted platform.

The interior, which has been designed by Tecnoform, is intended to be relaxing yet high-tech. Swivelling cab seats help to create a lounge area at the front, while the rear portion accommodates a folding double bed. As well as a side-mounted kitchen unit, the specification also includes two retractable flat-screen televisions and a built-in entertainment system.

Unfortunately, the Ducato 4x4 Expedition Camper isn't destined to become a production model. However, it will be exhibited at upcoming camping and caravanning shows in Düsseldorf, Parma, Le Bourget and Birmingham. At those events, the vehicle is going to be used as a catalyst to gauge customer opinions about Fiat's motorhome activities.

    Stop trying to make it look like a 4 WD inside, if people want that rugged look that doesn't provide comfort nor luxury then there are lots of truck like campers they can buy
    The opening in the market is to have a normal campervan/motorhome interior on a 4 WD chassis. Now that will sell!!!

    Use the chassis to build a normal camper van like

Zero Congestion Charge

Image
In a rare piece of good news for motorists, the beginning of 2011 saw a change to the London Congestion Charge that could see some drivers now (legally) avoiding the fee altogether. The new Greener Vehicle Discount, which replaces the Alternative Fuel Discount, means that more cars will potentially qualify for 100% off the daily charge. Naturally, there are a couple of caveats that come attached with this generous gesture from Transport for London . The first is that the vehicle needs to be ‘green’. More precisely, it should be Euro 5 emissions compliant and produce 100 grams of CO2 per kilometre or less. Secondly, if you already own such an eco-friendly machine, don’t presume that you can just swan about in central London and not worry about the Congestion Charge. To receive the Greener Vehicle Discount, a car must first be registered with Transport for London, and that involves a £10 annual payment. So, what cars will qualify for the Greener Vehicle Discount? According to ...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
