Ever wondered how much GP switch gear could be put in a van? Have a look at the pic of the Peugeot Bipper. Il start off... Instrument dials, electric window switches, indicator stalks, trimmed down radio, heater controls, fog light switches panel. Probaly more...

Meh, Are you actually surprised at the sharing that car companys do with each other nowadays?

I saw a new Fiorino on the roads last week. Looked funky. Has a much better name than the bipper or nemo

Yeah, what were those silly French thinking of, anyway???

I'm still waiting to see which of the three French carmakers will be the first to have a new model or special series named the Bling-Bling.

The passenger airbag section of the dash reminds me a bit of the Panda.

.....But I don't think I can remember anything quite so blatant especially going under a different brand - I never thought Fiat and Peugeot had anything to do with each other.

Not on road cars but when it comes to vans they basically all come together, develop a chassis and all the componants and then just have a slightly redesigned body shell to each of there competitors.

The Ulysse is a Pug 806. It doesn't even have a FPT engine!

They are working together for over 30 years if not longer. They started together on the development of the FIRE engine.

they built in tofas ( in Turkey)

Its built on the GP platform, and was designed by an Englishman.

Thanks for the article - just goes to show what absolute ******** goes on sometime.
The guy hasn't designed anything - he's done absolutely nothing.
They've taken a regular G. Punto and turned the outer body into a van shape -
even I could knock that up in an afternoon......I'd be too embarrassed to go on and take the credit....amazing.

And since when did Peugeot help Fiat out with the FIRE engine and when did they use it in any of their cars?
