FIAT FIORINO IS CITY VAN OF THE YEAR IN 2012 FLEET VAN AWARDS

Fiat Professional's Fiorino beat off strong competition to win this year's City Van award and the judges were particularly impressed with Fiorino for its latest MultiJet II engines, economy, practicality and the levels of fleet support and back-up through Fiat Professional's dealer network.

Popular with businesses and fleets, Fiat Professional's Fiorino has a generous specification with up to 660 kg payload and 2.5 cubic metres load volume, which may be increased to 2.8 cubic metres in conjunction with the optional, folding passenger seat. Running costs and emissions are kept to an absolute minimum, thanks to Fiat's latest MultiJet II technology. The 75bhp 1.3-litre MultiJet II diesel has a Combined Cycle fuel consumption figure of 68.9mpg when fitted with the Comfort-matic gearbox.

Annual Investment Allowance 2012/ 2013

Currently, for the tax year 2012/13 your business has an A.I.A. (Annual Investment Allowance) of £25,000. This means that new asset acquisitions (trucks and vans) qualify.

 

You can offset 100% of the capital investment against your taxable profits.

 

From January 2013, the A.I.A. is increasing from £25,000 to £250,000 per annum!

 

**To put this in real terms**. If you purchase vans and trucks up to £250,000 this year AND next year; at a 40% Higher Rate tax, the difference in the tax saving will be £72,000:

 

·    2012     Tax saving                  =          £28,000   (100% Utilised A.I.A)

·    2013    Tax saving                  =          £100,000 (100% Utilised A.I.A)*

 

If you wish to take advantage of these savings on any new Iveco product please contact any member of the sales team on 0141 773 3999. Alternatively e-mail glasgow@kerrandsmith.co.uk

Transport News Awards 2012

This year marked the 19th annual Transport News Awards Ceremony; it was another successful event with almost 600 industry guests filling the banqueting suite at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. A well deserving East Dunbartonshire Council won the award for Local Authority Fleet of the Year. Successfully overcoming many economic challenges this year, the council are continuously balancing service improvements against efficiencies and cost saving measures.

East Dunbartonshire Councils use of new telematics technology has provided incomparable resource management levels and cut out wasted or unproductive mileage. The Council have also significantly reduced their carbon footprint with the use of hybrid and electric vehicles.   Kerr and Smith are proud sponsors of this category and wish to congratulate East Dunbartonshire Council on their success.
