Fiat Professional, Fita's commercial vehicles arm, will participate in the government’s scrappage scheme, announced recently in the Budget.
The scheme offers a £2K grant towards any new vehicles purchased by a buyer trading in a car more than ten year's old.
Under the scheme, Fiat says customers scrapping their old vehicle will be able to buy a new Fiat Fiorino for £5,795.
Among the offers available within the scrappage scheme announcement are:
• Fiorino Cargo 1.4 8v Petrol 75 for £5795: Normal basic price £8565.
• Grande Punto Van 1.3 Active 75 MultiJet for £6216: Normal basic price £9085.

• Scudo 1.6 MultiJet 90bhp Comfort for £9995: Normal basic price £14,570.
All prices exclude VAT and on the road changes.
“We welcome the opportunity to more than match the Chancellor’s offer in the scrappage scheme, which will help the UK’s van industry in terms of business costs and the environment,” says Gerry Clarke, director, Fiat Professional.
