Considering that this Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is rated about half the average GVWR for cash-transit vehicles in Brazil, it might be deemed eco.

2nd-gen Fiat Ducato Maxi, FWD with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2.8L 4-cyl turbodiesel

Another double-cab square-body Saveiro, probably Diesel

Fiat Palio Adventure Locker, this one is a taxi in my hometown.

It's just FWD, but due to the locker differential it can still fare reasonably in light off-road conditions.
This other one is used by the local fire department for administrative and bureaucratic service.

Fiat Palio Weekend taxi from my hometown, with a flexfuel 1.4L 8-valve engine and 5-speed manual transmission. On a sidenote, it's kinda roomy for a subcompact.

And this one used as a Santa Catarina Military Police urban patrol vehicle.
