Fiat: Scudo, Ducato and Doblò as electric vehicles
SUSTAINABLE TRIO To meet the demands of the Swiss market in terms of sustainability, Fiat Professional has now completely converted its commercial vehicle model range to electric drive.
By analyzing data from 4,000 light commercial vehicles and more than 50 million kilometers traveled in one year, Fiat Professional was able to determine an accurate customer profile. This data was then integrated into the development of the vehicles. This should ensure that the electric models can handle all tasks just as well as the combustion engines.
Maneuverability and good use of space
The manufacturer cites maneuverability, easy maneuverability and good use of space as advantages of the new E-Scudo (gallery left and center). It also offers numerous driver assistance systems. There is a choice of 50- and 75-kWh batteries, which can be charged with charging powers of up to 11 kW AC and up to 100 kW DC.
The new E-Ducato (gallery on the right) offers maximum flexibility with two battery sizes (47 and 79 kWh). These come with a warranty of ten years or 220,000 kilometers (79 kWh) and eight years or 160,000 kilometers (47 kWh) respectively. Thanks to a 90 kW electric motor (280 Nm, 122 hp), the E-Ducato accelerates from 0 to 50 km/h in five seconds.
The new model is available in two lengths and three configurations - as a van, crew cab van and Combi E-Doblò. In the all-electric version, the maximum payload is 800 kilograms, while in the combustion versions it is 1000 kilograms. The E-Doblò is equipped with a 100 kW electric motor and a 50 kWh battery and has a range of 280 kilometers according to WLTP.
