The Fiat Scudo medium commercial vehicle returns. From now on, it is not only available with diesel engines, but also as an electric van.

To replace the Fiat Talento, the Italian carmaker is introducing a new, medium-sized commercial vehicle. The model is given the well-known name Scudo – but it is definitely more than the commercial vehicle that was built under that name until 2016. It is a modern van, related to its (Opel, Peugeot and Citroën) brothers from the parent company Stellantis.

ÁAll possible versions are available with electric powertrain

One of the major differences with the Scudo of the past is that the new model can be ordered as an electric commercial vehicle. What is special is that all possible versions with an electric powertrain will be available. There are quite a few: four configurations (including as Crew Cab and passenger version for nine people), three trim levels, three lengths (the S of 4.6 meters, the regular of 5 meters and the Maxi of 5.3 meters ), plus multiple load volumes and weights. It is unknown whether the diesel versions will also be released in the Netherlands.

‘The comfort of a passenger car’

The electric motor provides 100 kW / 136 hp power. There is a choice of a 50 or 75 kWh battery pack. The maximum range was 330 km in the WLTP test. Charging up to 80 percent on a fast charger (up to 100 kW DC) can be done in 45 minutes. With the new Scudo, Fiat is targeting professionals who use their vehicle for 8 hours a day or more. The Scudo was developed for this ‘with the comfort of a passenger car’.

Attention is paid to ergonomics, (storage) space and the car is equipped with the necessary safety and driver assistance systems. Examples are Lane Departure Warning, 180-degree parking camera, head-up display and Grip Control (for example, to be able to drive in the snow). With the Moduwork system, the front passenger seat can be easily transformed into a workplace and into an extension of the loading compartment. The Dutch prices are not yet known.
