Ford have just pulled away the covers on its new Fiesta Panel Van at the 2008 IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hanover, Germany. Based on the three-door Fiesta hatchback, the new Panel Van is designed for both commercial and private users who need to haul small goods and require a ridiculously economical vehicle. Photocopier technicians the world over are delighted.

Under the bonnet the Fiesta offers a choice of gas or diesel engines ranging from a 60hp 1.2-liter gas unit to the big boy 1.6-liter diesel outputting 90-horsepower and 150 lb-ft. Fuel economy is frugal with results of 4.2l/100km for the most economical diesel engine option while sending just 110 g/km of carbon out of the tailpipe.

Set to launch in early 2009, the Fiesta may become a popular commercial fleet vehicle for environmentally conscious companies, or a solid run about for anyone who likes to move unhuman objects in style.
