Fiorino is the model name that Italian car maker Fiat gives to the van derivatives of their small cars. The Fiorino has the largest cargo capacity of its class and was last imported into the UK in 2001.
The vehicle takes its name from an old Italian coin, normally translated into English as the Florin.[1]
