Fiat Ducato

The Fiat Ducato is a no-nonsense workhorse that turns practicality into an artform, with a cavernous, flexible load area and predictable, car-like driving manners that make long days behind the wheel far less tedious. It’s equally at home with a tradesman’s kit or a camper conversion, offering sensible packaging, easy servicing and the sort of reliability that keeps surprises—and down-time—to a minimum.

Mercedes Vito Bus

The Mercedes Vito is a sturdy, no-nonsense people carrier that blends commercial practicality with a surprisingly civilised cabin, making long shuttles feel less like a chore. If you need a dependable transporter that swallows luggage, forgives hard use and still looks a touch more premium than a plain van, the Vito is an easy, sensible pick.
