The Fiat Fiorino is a since 1977 in Brazil built vans of the Italian car manufacturer Fiat . In the first two generations it was produced as a panel van and flatbed truck. The third generation has been manufactured as a small van / high-roof station wagon at the automobile manufacturer Tofaş in Bursa (Turkey) since 2008 and was voted Van of the Year in 2009. The Peugeot Bipper and the Citroën Nemo by PSA Peugeot Citroën were also produced there as identical models until the end of 2014 . In Brazil, another Fiorino model has been manufactured as a panel van with the Fiat Fiorino Furgao since 2013 .

Type 127/147 (1977-1987)

The first generation of the Fiorino, which was built from October 1977 to December 1987, was based on the Fiat 147, the Brazilian version of the Fiat 127 , with a box on the rear. The Fiorino was manufactured in the Brazilian plant in Betim . It had a 0.9 liter engine that developed 45 hp (33 kW) and could accelerate the car to 125 km / h. The payload was approx. 360 kg.

In January 1980 there were some modifications. The engine got one liter and 50 HP (37 kW), the bumpers were now made of plastic.

After another facelift carried out in parallel to the 127 in spring 1982, a 45 hp (33 kW) diesel variant was added.

The Karosseriewerke Weinberg also offered a camping version of the Fiorino.

Type 146 (1988-2013)

The second generation was created on the platform of the Brazilian Fiat Uno , but there were three sub-series that were technically very different from each other:

The front section of the version produced from the beginning of 1988 to spring 1992 was taken over from the Uno up to the B-pillar, as was the interior. The technology, however, had hardly changed since the first Fiorino. The basis was the Brazilian UN with the rear axle of the Fiat 127, recognizable by the higher bonnet with the spare wheel underneath. As before, entire assemblies such as the chassis and drive parts were taken over directly from the predecessor. The strut domes, the struts, the front axle and the rear axle consisting of a transverse two-leaf spring , trapezoidal wishbones and shock absorber struts corresponded to those of model 147.

The old technology was still used for the second series, which was built from spring 1992 to the end of 1993. There was a facelift on the body that was stylistically based on the Uno II. Headlights, fenders, bonnet and grill were only found on the Fiorino in Europe and are not identical to the European UN. These parts came from the Uno CS, which was only built in this form in Brazil. The interior retained the appearance of the Uno I.

The third series (beginning 1994 to 2013) broke with both the technology of the Type 147 and the appearance of the Uno I. The wheelbase and the vehicle length grew somewhat, the chassis and the axle geometry were now designed like the Uno and the The rear axle was now rigid and suspended from two lengthwise leaf spring packages, which contributed to improving driving behavior. The external shape remained almost unchanged compared to the second sub-series; these younger models can often be recognized by the raised roof and the slightly different box structure. The glazed or corrugated parts of the side wall were only designed with two surfaces per side instead of four. Late models of the third sub-series got a different grille with only one cross spoke. In the interior, the Uno II equipment also found its way into the third sub-series.

A closed box, glazed box superstructure and a pickup were available as body variants. The latter is relatively rare and sought after. Mobile homes based on the Fiorino were also offered.

In addition to a 1.7-liter diesel, the range of engines included various gasoline engines with capacities ranging from 1.1 to 1.6 liters. Since the Fiorino was first and foremost a craftsman's vehicle, the diesel engine was preferred, which was offered in a 46 kW (63 hp) turbo version in the last models.

In December 2000 the sale of the Fiorino series in Europe was stopped. The Fiat Strada (based on Punto or Palio) and the Fiat Doblò were introduced here as successors .

In Brazil, the Fiorino was produced with modifications for South America until 2013 and then replaced by the Fiat Fiorino Furgao based on the Fiat Novo Uno .
