To celebrate 40 years in style and in line with the new times, FIAT announced an updated version of the iconic Ducato with electric technology.
Named e-Ducato, it maintains the company’s design tradition with a wide variety, offering different heights, lengths or even a chassis cab version.
However, this update has sought to give it a more striking look with a new range of colors and, above all, some changes to the front end, featuring the new Fiat logo and LED daytime running lights, with full LED headlights as an option.

It uses 47 and 79 kWh batteries, with a range of 141 to 285 km, and charging times of 30 minutes at 80%. It has a charging volume of up to 17 cubic meters, and allows more than 80 configurations.
Main Features
The exterior renovation of the vehicle also affects the large grille and the new protective badges, added to the new Fiat logo. Moreover, a Lanzarote Grey launch color has been introduced, underlining the adventurous character of the e-Ducato, and especially dedicated to customers from the recreational sector.
Regarding the interior, a real revolution is taking place in the cabin, aimed at improving the quality of life on board and practicality of use. The company details that it has the Keyless Entry and Go function to open and close the doors and the suitcase.

It also provides keyless ignition, and an electric parking brake to reduce space in the cabin and facilitate movement. It also features an Eat and Work passenger seat that turns into a comfortable space to work or have a snack; a wireless cell phone recharging compartment; dual USB type A and C sockets; 230 V high-voltage power socket; and a heated windshield with internal electric heating elements.
Another innovation of the electric model is that the driver can use a button on the gear selector to choose between various driving modes: normal, eco and power, which modify the response of the electric motor to improve range or performance, depending on the need.
Since it was launched in 1981, the Fiat Ducato has become the benchmark in light transport vehicles and has accumulated eight successful generations.
