euroserv Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 OK. First of all; this is perfectly normal. Iveco is a part of the Fiat empire and engines made by FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies) will contain parts that are stamped with FPT, Fiat or Iveco. These engines are fitted to Iveco Daily, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Relay plus some Renault vans. FPT also supplies engines to Vauxhall/Opel, Ford and many others. Hope this helps.

colin Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Not just the engine, but the whole van base will have been built in the same factory as Fiat/Pug/Citroen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Our Peugeot Boxer has got the Ford Transit 2.2 engine. Known officially as the Ford Puma. Also Peugeot Boxers are made by Sevel, which is a company jointly formed by fiat and PSA to make vans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HymerVan Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 In a sense there is no such thing as "a Peugeot Van" (or a Rolls Royce car for that matter) because every modern vehicle is made from thousands of components and these components will come from a variety of sources and countries. Engine development is vastly expensive hence collaboration between manufacturers, and commercial relationships with suppliers mean that a manufacturing group will use economies of scale in purchasing and use components over a variety of platforms. For that reason I tend to chuckle at the proposition the "German/British/French/Japanese vehicles are best. Surprises also as to where things are built for example some Porsche bodyshells are built in Slovakia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
