The new Fiat Ducato

The new Fiat Ducato launched in May and is the latest incarnation of this best-selling van.

Part of van’s success has been the ability to change to meet the specific requirements of its customers. The new Ducato stands out from the crowd with its unique shape and balanced layout, as well as having a combination of appearance and practicality, with an extended range of engines for all traffic conditions.

There are four new MultiJet direct-injection trubodiesel Euro 5 engines with:

  • Powers from 115 to 177 HP
  • Five or six speed gear boxes
  • Record low consumption and CO2 emission levels

Customers now have the choice of the engine most suitable to their business, as well as a choice of three interior trims. No other manufacturer currently offers the choice and varying degrees of design, demonstrating Fiat’s strong attention to ergonomics and comfort.

The new ‘Traction+’ system has been introduced to the Ducato, improving the vehicle’s handling on difficult terrain. For help on more economical driving, a new telematics solution is included, from ‘Blue&Me Nav’ to ‘eco:Drive Fiat Professional’.

There are around 2,000 variants on the commercial version of the Ducato, depending on the different combinations of chassis, engine and mechanics. The van range has eight different capacities, ranging from 8 to 17m³, and improving productivity through the new Euro 5 engines, which reduce fuel consumption by around 15% (compared with Euro 4 engines).

Other features of the new Ducato:

  • GVWs of between 3 and 4 tonnes
  • Payloads of between 1,000 and 2,000kg (including driver)
  • Three wheelbases, four lengths and three heights (for vans)
  • Three different sizes of sliding side door and rear door
  • Four wheelbases and five lengths for the conversion bases range (cabs, flatbeds, double cabs, etc)
  • 12 exterior colours and 120 special shades
  • More than 150 optional extras

All this makes the new Ducato another innovative offering, continuing to develop an already successful van.
