Date: Friday, March 5, 2021 | Author: Sean Keywood
Specs and prices have been announced for the new Fiat Professional E-Ducato electric van, which is available to order now.
The model comes with either a 47kWh or 79kWh battery, allowing electric ranges of up to 146 miles and 230 miles respectively on the WLTP city cycle – ranges are 88 to 175 miles on the combined cycle. Times for a full battery charge are two hours 25 minutes and four hours respectively.
Both batteries come with a 122hp motor, allowing acceleration from 0-30mph in less than six seconds, although top speed is only 62mph.
The E-Ducato has a payload of up to 1,885kg, while load volumes are the same as the diesel Ducato, at 10-17m3.
Three bodystyles are available – goods van, chassis cab, and passenger van. The goods van is available in three different heights (2309mm, 2579mm, or 2814mm), three different lengths (5413mm, 5998mm, or 6363mm) and three different wheelbase sizes (3450mm, 4035mm, or 4035mm).
The chassis cab comes in three different lengths (5358mm, 5708mm, or 5943mm), and four different wheelbase sizes (3450mm, 3800mm, 4035mm, or 4035mm), and the passenger version can be had with seating for between five and nine passengers.
There’s a choice of standard and eTecnico trim levels. The entry-level spec comes with features including a 5in touchscreen with DAB and Bluetooth, climate control, a tablet holder, a USB charging port, a fixed full width steel bulkhead, electric heated mirrors, and LED load area lighting.
Standard safety features include lane departure warning, autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, high beam recognition, and automatic lights and wipers.
There is also an onboard charger, with either 7kW (with the 47kWh battery) or 11kW (with the 79kWh battery) charging capability, as well as a mode three charging cable.
Further features with eTecnico trim include a 7in touchscreen with sat-nav, Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity, rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, blind spot and rear cross path detection, embroidered headrests, front fog lights, heated electrically folding door mirrors, LED daytime running lights, a leather steering wheel, and chrome air vent surrounds.
Range prices for the E-Ducato start at £47,675, excluding VAT and including the UK Government’s plug-in vehicle grant.
The first UK deliveries are expected in May.
