FIAT Group Automobiles Ireland is delighted to announced the appointment of Tim Cronin to the role of FIAT Professional Brand Manager for Ireland. Tim brings a wealth of experience in the Irish commercial vehicle segment to the role, having held a lead role in the sales and marketing of the FUSO brand in Ireland, including PR communications and event management as well as dealer network support.

Tim Cronin commented: "I'm delighted to take on this important role within FIAT Group Automobiles Ireland. FIAT Professional has an exceptional range of award-winning vehicles which are ideally suited to the diverse needs of the Irish market, from large fleet operators to owner-operators and converters. I look forward to growing the FIAT Professional brand in Ireland and to putting more Fiorino, Doblò, Scudo and Ducato vans in the hands of hard-working Irish individuals and companies in the future."

Commenting on the appointment, Gerry Clarke, Country Director FIAT Group Automobiles Ireland said: "We're delighted to have someone of Tim's calibre in our team - he not only brings extremely relevant experience and in-depth knowledge of the business, he also has the energy and adaptability that the fast-moving commercial vehicle sector in Ireland demands.

The newest vehicle in the FIAT Professional range is sixth-generation of the multi award-winning FIAT Ducato, offering a sophisticated car-like design combined with more versatility, efficiency and robustness than ever before. Under the bonnet, FIAT Professional has been equally as thorough, working to reduce emissions and improve economy by around 10 percent across the Euro 5+ engine range. All FIAT Ducato models are equipped with a six-speed manual transmission as standard and now boasts best-in-class efficiency figures, with CO2 emissions for the entry-level 2.3 MultiJet II 110hp as low as 170g/km and an impressive fuel economy figure of 6.4L/100km on the NEDC cycle. Prices for the FIAT Ducato in Ireland start at €17,600 excluding VAT.

The new FIAT Doblo Cargo has been unveiled at the 2014 Hanover IAA Motor Show and is scheduled to arrive in Ireland in early 2015. More details, including technical information and pricing, will be announced closer to the FIAT Doblo Irish launch.
