Information about the Fiat Scudo Van Leasing

One of the most commonly use vans in van leasing business is the Fiat Scudo van. It is larger than the Doblo, but smaller than the Ducato . The Scudo can come in the Combinato variety which has a seating inside that copes with seven people, and can also handle disabled and mobility affected people. As such it is a popular choice for taxi drivers who need to offer transport to all kinds of people and also a good choice for van leasing business.

First launched back in 1996, the Fiat Scudo has just one body, but two engines. The Scudo may be cheaper than its identical twin the Peugeot Expert, but they are the same. Based on the Fiat Ulysse Multi Purpose Vehicle body, it can appear as a car as well as a van. Built in Italy, it even gets produced on the same production line as its siblings from Citroen and Peugeot.

The Fiat Scudo van has the same design as two other car company offerings, the Citroen Jumpy and the Peugeot Expert (these two vans are also usually use for van leasing) as they were designed under a joint venture arrangement. The distance between the wheels is 1200mm and this allows two pallets to be loaded into the vehicle. The weight that the van can take is around 2000 pounds, including the driver and the load space for people or goods is a reasonable 140 cubic feet.

There are two generations of the Fiat Scudo, the first version had a number of different diesel powered options and a single petrol option, but the second generation of Fiat Scudo vans has at least 3 types of diesel engine that provide up to 140 horse power or more of motoring for the driver.

The turbo diesel engines offer a responsive and powerful drive mechanism in any situation. The comfort and economy of the Scudo make it a worthy contender for choice for van leasing, because the modern multi jet engines offer a superior performance as well as delivering the low running costs a commercial vehicle will need with rising fuel prices.

For greater horsepower there is a 165 multijet engine available which meets modern emission standards, and the power output of this is as high as 163 brake horse power.

With servicing requirements at 18,000 miles, and an unlimited warranty provided for mileage less than 120,000 miles, the Scudo is a reliable and economic work horse.
