FIAT is currently running service courses for the new Daily light vehicles from a mobile training centre. Using an Orlandi step-frame trailer as the base, the bodybuilder Carozzeria Autodromo Modena has constructed a mobile workshopcum-lecture theatre complete with display units for stripping down and assembling. The facilities also include an oven and a refrigerator for fitting components which have an interference fit.
When opened out, the "office" has a width of 6.5m (21ft 6in) giving a total floor area of 49sqm (525sqft).
This particular training school is the first to go into service. A second is scheduled to spend two years in the Persian Gulf from June and a third is due for completion in September.
The complete cost of the outfit, including the Fiat 190/ 35 tractive unit and all the equipment, is E140,000.
Although the present courses concern the Daily range exclusively, the mobile trailing school can be reequipped to handle any vehicle (or engine) in the Fiat range.
