Fiat Scudo: Electric Vehicle in Focus
The Stellantis subsidiary Fiat Professional has, as announced, completed a platform switch for its 3.0-ton van from Renault to PSA/Stellantis and is re-entering the market with the transporter, now renamed Scudo instead of Talento. This model is based on the Stellantis Mid-Van platform and is available not only as a diesel but also as a purely electric model. This makes it the second electric commercial vehicle from Fiat Professional after the E-Ducato, which was introduced in April 2021. The manufacturer believes that with these two powertrain options, the Scudo will meet the needs of a diverse customer base of true professionals. The Scudo was previously produced in cooperation with PSA until 2016 at the Stellantis plant in Hordain, France, before Fiat switched to the Renault platform.
In its communication, the manufacturer clearly emphasizes the electric version. Like the identical counterparts from Citroen, Peugeot, Opel, and externally Toxota, this model is supposed to offer a locally emission-free range of up to 330 kilometers in the WLTP cycle, making it particularly suitable for urban and suburban use. As usual, two battery sizes with 50 or 75 kWh gross capacity are available. Fiat also combines an 11-kilowatt AC charger with a DC charger that delivers up to 100 kilowatts of power. This should allow the larger battery to be charged to 80 percent in just 45 minutes. The cargo space size remains fully preserved at up to 6.6 cubic meters regardless of the powertrain, with a payload of up to over a ton, which is on par with its class, but the towing capacity at one ton is significantly lower. The payload of the conventionally powered model is up to 1.4 tons, and the towing capacity ranges from 1,800 to 2,200 kilograms.
Known and Proven Setup
Compact dimensions of 4.60, 4.95, and 5.30 meters in length and 1.9 meters in height, as well as volumes of 4.6, 5.3, and 6.6 cubic meters, are designed to make the Scudo universally applicable. Driver assistance systems, as known, include a head-up display and a package of 14 safety features. These include automatic traffic sign recognition, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot warning. Additionally, the new Scudo features front collision warning and a rearview camera with a 180-degree view angle, in addition to front and rear parking sensors. A grip control system is available for better traction under conditions like snow, mud, or sand.
In addition to the van versions, the passenger combi variants are also available. These can be configured with up to nine seats; the seats are foldable, and a folding partition is also available, which allows three more people to be transported than in a van. The passenger seat for two people can be transformed into a workspace or an extension of the cargo area with the Moduwork system if needed, allowing objects up to a length of four meters (L3 version) to fit and increasing the load volume by 0.5 cubic meters to up to 6.6 cubic meters.
Diverse Variants Like the Siblings
The manufacturer offers the basic configurations of van, multicab, chassis with a flatbed, and combi M1, as well as three trim levels: Business, Base, and SX. The electric drive is also available for all versions. This also targets converters and the recreational vehicle market, where the provider is a leader in Europe. In addition to the 100 kW (136 HP) electric motor, four diesel engine options are available:
- 1.5-liter engine with 75 kW (102 HP) or 88 kW (120 HP) and six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission
- two-liter engine with 107 kW (145 HP) with six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission
- 130 kW (177 HP) also with the efficient eight-speed automatic transmission.
In terms of price, the electric version starts at 45,101 euros gross, the diesel with 100 HP at 32,249 euros. An L2 van with a 120 HP engine comes to 33,855 euros, and the top version of the multicab with 180 HP and eight-speed automatic transmission is priced at 42,007 euros.
