FIAT Professional Scudo

New Scudo is ultimate all-rounder

The all-new Fiat Scudo is based on the Stellantis mid-van platform and available with a 100% electric powertrain – the E-Scudo – alongside four diesel units. It arrives with a series of features to make it best in its class.

Key is its best-in-class range of up to 205 miles (WLTP), ideal for those who work in the city and inner suburbs.

The zero-emissions E-Scudo also boasts unique flexibility from the perspective of the client’s mission, offering two battery sizes – 50 and 75kWh, an AC charging capacity of up to 11kW, and up to 100kW in DC, to charge the more capacious battery to 80% in just 45 minutes.

The load capacity of all Scudos does not change across powertrains – up to 6.6m3 loading bay volume, payload up to 1t and a towing capacity of 1t.

Another aspect carefully considered in the design phase of new Scudo was comfort. The aim is to offer a stress-free experience at work, via various measures such as a car-like driving position and top level soundproofing, to minimise jolts and vibrations.

Compact external dimensions, less than 5m long for the core version and 1.9m high, makes Scudo suitable for all-purpose use, ensuring the agility necessary in an urban environment

A head-up driver display delivers key information without driver distraction and reducing stress, while the car-like driving position ensures an excellent comfort level and optimal road visibility. Easy accessibility is provided by an ergonomic step in the cabin, and road holding, comfort and suspension are excellent.

The new Scudo has been designed as an all-round commercial vehicle, but one that offers smart solutions while maintaining its compact dimensions.

The dimensions themselves are another of the model’s strengths: the 1.90m height makes storage units easily accessible. Combined with a length of 5m, and up to 5.3m in the Maxi version, the result is a vehicle that can transport anything and go anywhere.

Load volumes of 5.3 or 6.1m3 depending on the wheelbase and capacity of up to 1.4t ensure the new Scudo’s uncompromising capabilities.

It also features a special kind of cabin modularity courtesy of the exclusive Moduwork system, which transforms the passenger seat into a workstation and an extension of the load compartment, to transport items up to 4m long (Maxi version), and to increase the volume by 0.5m3, to a total capacity of up to 6.6m3. The vehicle is therefore flexible enough for all requirements and all kinds of clients, from hydraulics operators and shipbuilders to the needs of home delivery professionals.

As a tribute to its nature as a flexible, multipurpose vehicle, the new Scudo is available in three configurations (Van, Crew Cab and Cab with platform), three trim levels (SX, Tecnico and Business), and four diesel powertrains on top of the electric powertrain. The entire range is available in an electric version, from the van to the cab and crew van

Together with the electric version – equipped with a 100kW (136hp) electric motor – also available are four diesel powertrains: • 1.5l with either 100hp or 120hp and 6-speed manual transmission; • 2.0l 145hp unit combined with either an 8-speed manual or automatic; • 2.0l engine with 180hp paired with the efficient 8-speed automatic transmission.
