The Fiat 241 is a van produced by Fiat between 1965 and 1974. It has a payload over 1400 kg and was available in truck, van and bare chassis variants. The model was a replacement for the 1100T pickup which had ceased production in 1964.

The Fiat 241 was offered in parallel to the Fiat 238. The 241 has rear-wheel drive, as opposed to the 238 which has front-wheel drive. The engine in the 241 was centrally located in the cab, unlike the 238 whose engine is housed under the passenger bench, thus, the 241 has only two seats. It had two engine options: petrol (1481 cc OHV, derived from 1500C) from the Fiat passenger car 124 producing 51 hp. with a 4 speed gearbox and diesel (1.9ltr, 1,895 cc, the same as Campagnola producing 47 bhp).[citation needed]

Front suspension is independent with coil springs, with semi-elliptic springs at the rear, supported by telescopic dampers and anti-roll bars on both axles.[1] The total length of the vehicle was just over 15 ft, with a wheelbase of 7.6 ft and loading area of 9.4 ft by 5.4 ft. Available in drop-side, platform and pickup versions. It was later replaced by the Fiat 242.[2]
