Openreach, BT's network division, has added 1,800 Fiat Doblò Cargo Maxi vans to its vehicle fleet.

Wrapped in Openreach livery, the vans will primarily be used to speed up the rollout of fibreoptic broadband across the UK.

Duncan Webb, commercial director at BT Fleet, said: “These vehicles have been deployed to front-line engineers installing fibre broadband into homes and businesses across the UK. With a fleet of hard-working vehicles of this size it was important to have the right vehicles, which we have in the FIAT Doblò Cargo Maxi.”

Sebastiano Federigo, head of brand, FIAT Professional UK, added: “We are delighted that Openreach has chosen FIAT Professional UK to supply the vehicles that are so vital to the implementation of its roll out plans. It highlights not only the quality, efficiency and versatility of our award-winning vans but also the level of support and peace-of-mind we are able to offer even the largest and most exacting fleets in the UK.”
