Fiat Professional is one of the four companies of Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A, with a personalised and differentiated sales and marketing strategy for the specific nature of the vehicles that are produced – commercial vehicles.

Fiat Professional is the second largest brand of the Fiat group, that accounts for 433,000 vehicles registered in 2007. Fiat is in fact the only auto manufacturer in the world that has a completely specific brand for its commercial vehicles, a brand that is dedicated exclusively to the world of professional transport. Fiat realises that Commercial vehicles clients are completely different from passenger car clients and therefore deserve a different approach. Fiat professionals motto is Professionals at the service of other professionals and therefore it is at the core of a their strategy to understand every business sector’s transport needs and to design a version which fits them perfectly to provide vehicles of maximum quality and reliability to avoid any time at all off the road, since these vehicles are the working horses of a business. Therefore partnering our clients on a daily basis.

Fiat Professional has an impressive track record in this sector with 60 years of experience and three Vans of the Year Awards since 1994. Fiat Commercial vehicles are the second most sold brand in Europe with the greatest growth rate over the past 4 years – 40 per cent increase in sales over 4 years. This has been accomplished primarily through the availability of a range which is second to none.

The Fiat Scudo has been voted “International Van of the Year 2008” – scoring 108 out of a possible 140 points – by a panel of journalists from 20 European nations specialising in light commercial vehicles.

The Fiat Scudo is designed to respond to today’s urban and intercity goods transport needs in Europe. In short, the new van reconciles car-like performance, agility and comfort with the load capacity, ease of loading and unloading, reliability and productivity of a light commercial vehicle.

In addition to the Van versions, the New Scudo range also includes a wide choice of passenger transport versions (Combi and Panorama) in three different spec levels for different applications and clients. The first (Combi Standard) is the ideal solution for the transport of work teams and their respective tools; the second (Panorama Family) is intended for both large families demanding the comfort and style of an MPV and for people with active sports lives; the third spec level (Panorama Executive) is for executive transfer applications (hotel/airport shuttle bus and chauffeur driven hire).

Today, UCIM Co Ltd will be hosting an Exhibition from 9am to 6pm, at Westin Dragonara Resort, St Julian’s extending an open invitation to anyone wishing to view the New Fiat Scudo and a unique opportunity to discuss on a one to one basis their business needs.

Our very competent commercial vehicle team will be available in this comfortable setting to design a version that will fit every single requirement they may have.

UCIMCO is very proud to have within its portfolio a number of prestigious businesses as long standing clients – both private companies as well as government entities have chosen them to supply them with their fleets, recognising the fact that UCIM Co offers a professional service both at sales as well as after sales stage.
