The conversion is based on a Fiorino Combi - the entry level people-carrying version of the range - from which the vehicle takes all its winning features: it can accommodate 5 people, for example, in conditions of absolute comfort and safety. Its flexibility is also assured by a 1/3 - 2/3 split rear seat that may be removed to allow very bulky items and tools to be carried. Due to its trim dimensions - approximately 4 metres long and 1.7 metres wide - and turning circle of less than 10 metres, the vehicle can handle itself with equanimity in any situation and place.
