2021 Fiat E-Ducato sales begin in the UK
Fiat Professional dealers are now accepting orders for the new pure-electric E-Ducato. Offered in numerous panel van, minibus and chassis cab configurations, deliveries are due to begin during the fourth quarter of this year.
Power comes from a 120 bhp (90 kW / 122 PS) electric motor that produces 280 Nm (206 lb-ft) of torque. Top speed is limited to 62 mph (100 km/h), which should be sufficient for many urban operations.
Restricting performance also helps to maximise range, of course. On that subject, an important decision for E-Ducato customers will be choosing a battery pack for their vehicle.
The smaller 47 kWh option allows modest WLTP City driving distances of between 99 and 120 miles (159 and 193 kilometres). The WLTP Combined cycle figure can be as low as 78 miles (125 kilometres), though.
Recharging from empty to full takes 2 hours 25 minutes via a 22 kW AC supply. A quicker solution using 50 kW DC achieves top-ups to 80% capacity in half an hour.
More practicality is promised by the larger 79 kWh alternative. Its WLTP City and WLTP Combined ratings are up to 192 miles (309 kilometres) and 148 miles (238 kilometres) respectively. However, one downside is a four-hour 22 kW AC recharging time.
To help manage energy consumption, the E-Ducato features four selectable modes. As well as ‘Power’, ‘Normal’ and ‘Eco’, there’s a ‘Turtle’ setting that severely reduces output when the batteries are almost flat.
Standard equipment across the range includes climate control, heated door mirrors, automatic lights and wipers, Bluetooth, a DAB radio and a 5” touchscreen. Also fitted are lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition and advanced emergency braking.
Upgrading to the eTecnico trim grade adds several worthwhile items. Among them are a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, blind spot detection, rear cross path detection and power-folding door mirrors. The infotainment system gains a 7” touchscreen, satellite navigation and Android Auto / Apple CarPlay compatibility, too.
Unsurprisingly, zero emissions aren’t cheap. After deducting the government’s £8,000 Plug-in Van Grant, E-Ducato prices start from £47,675 (excluding VAT).
