It's going ahead

The van-business is going to be strange
Fiat HAD teamed up with PSA before for vans (small, mid-size and large)
Then FC ditched PSA and went with Opel
Opel went to PSA
Now the rest of FC is following suit ...

I remember, even though most of the van offering from Fiat in Brazil had been concentrated in the Fiorino (which also led to the development of a different 3rd generation for our regional market), Doblò (2nd generation never came to Brazil, even though it's available in other regional markets) and Ducato. OTOH the mid-size ones had been easily available in Argentina and Uruguay through Peugeot and Citroën. The 3rd-generation European Fiorino and its PSA rebadges are also not unheard of, even though the only Peugeot Bipper I've ever seen had Chilean plates.
