Stellantis definitively stops production of the Fiorino small utility vehicle
- Stellantis group has definitively stopped production of the small Fiat Fiorino utility vehicle launched in 2007 , which will have had a long commercial career of 17 years, at the end of 2024. This model, manufactured in Turkey, succeeded the Fiat Fiorino based on the Fiat Uno , which was manufactured in Italy.
- The Fiorino was the smallest utility vehicle in the Fiat range, which included the Doblo (N1-1), Scudo (N1-2) and Ducato (N1-3) at the upper level. In 2008, the Fiorino was released in Peugeot (Bipper) and Citroën ( Nemo ) versions , the two French brands not having such a small utility model in their catalogue.
- The Fiat Fiorino utility vehicle lived its commercial career in the shadow of the Fiat Doblo , which was more popular due to its larger loading capacity. The Fiorino had its best period during the economic crisis of 2009-2010, during which demand shifted towards smaller models, encouraged by scrappage incentives. In 2009 and 2010, the Fiorino reached 120,000 units produced per year before falling back to 80,000 and then 40,000 in the following years.
- The Fiat Fiorino was restyled in 2016, while the Citroën Nemo and Peugeot Bipper disappeared at the same time. The PSA group, owner of the Citroën and Peugeot brands, had decided that the future of utility vehicles did not lie in this small format but rather in larger formats such as the future Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner, which will be launched in 2018. In 2024, Fiat (integrated into the Stellantis group since 2021) drew the same conclusion by abandoning and not replacing the Fiorino.
