FIAT E-Scudo

The Standard and Maxi versions of the Fiat E-Scudo are equipped with a 100 kW/136 hp electric motor, Widely used with success by the Stellantis Group, proving to be an efficient and long-lasting powertrain, adding to the advantages of use offered by electric vans a minimum maintenance and very low operating costs. The two Fiat E-Scudo intended for the transport of goods They can be combined with two possible battery sizes, with 50 kWh and 75 kWh.

The lower capacity one provides a range of up to 224 km and makes the E-Scudo an ideal vehicle for delivery or transport of goods within the city or established routes that have a more or less fixed mileage, although its fast charging technology opens up endless possibilities for making medium or long journeys without any limitation. For this, however, they would be more suitable the versions with the 75 kWh battery, which can reach up to 352 km without needing to recharge. Both batteries can be recharged at powers of 7 or 11 kW in alternating current and up to 100 kW in direct currentIn the latter case, the loading times are 38 minutes to recharge the 5 kWh battery from 80 to 50%, and 45 minutes to achieve the same percentage of charge in the higher capacity battery.

The advantages of electric propulsion in the Fiat E-Scudo, regardless of its battery capacity, are reflected in a smooth and refined ride, with virtually zero vibration and noise levels. In addition, thanks to the electronic management developed by Fiat through its different driving modes, a more linear, smooth and progressive throttle response can be achieved by using Eco mode, which limits power to 81 PS and torque to 190 Nm and also manages energy more efficiently. Power mode provides a more powerful response, suitable when the vehicle is running at maximum load, as it allows the electric motor to develop its maximum performance.

Although the mode Normal limits power to 80 kW/108 hp and 210 Nm of torque, it is actually the most suitable for normal driving, with or without load, achieving the right balance between dynamic capacity and battery range.. The maximum speed of all versions is limited to 100 kW/130 km/h. Its acceleration capacity varies according to size, signing 0-100 km/h in 10,8 seconds for the Standard version with the 50 kWh battery and 13,3 for a Maxi with the 75 kWh battery., heavier, but equally perfectly integrated into the lower area of ​​the load floor, achieving optimal weight distribution with the added advantage that the centre of gravity is located at the lowest possible point of the vehicle.

Designed as an all-round commercial vehicle, the Fiat E-Scudo drives like a passenger car but offers intelligent loading solutions and advantages adapted to the most varied needs of the professional user. The electric version of the Fiat E-Scudo intended for the transport of goods always offers a cabin with a maximum capacity of up to three passengers. There are two versions depending on the exterior length. The van body Standard has a total length of 4,95 meters. In turn, versions are distinguished with Standard or Increased loadThe first have a body height of 1,81 m, and 1,90 in the second case, offering a load capacity of between 5,3 to 5,8 m3.

In the case of the Maxis, the maximum body length increases to 5,31 m. Likewise, the Fiat E-Scudo with this length is divided into two versions according to the volume of its box, offering capacities ranging from 6,1 to 6,6 m3. The transportable weight varies, depending on the type of body and the battery it uses, between 1.001 and 1.226 kilos. The Fiat E-Scudo offers extra cabin modularity thanks to the exclusive Magic Cargo system, which can transform the passenger seat into a workstation and an extension of the cargo compartment, which allows you to transport objects up to 4 metres long in the Maxi body versions.

The Fiat E-Scudo is not only versatile, but also comfortable, welcoming and completely digitalized. The basic infotainment system features a 5-inch screen with digital radio and the possibility of converting the user's mobile phone into an extension of the vehicle. Optionally, you can incorporate an advanced 10-inch multimedia system, with touch screen, Wi-Fi connection or navigation with route information and maps in real time. Both systems are compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlayThe passenger information cluster is also displayed on a digital screen, 5 inches in this case, which contains, in addition to the main information, also indications of the safety systems or speed limits.

Among the possible connected services, Fiat Profesional offers two packs. Connect ONE offers maximum security, with assistance in case of breakdowns and accidents 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, a precise monthly view of the vehicle's status and alerts to anticipate the need for vehicle maintenance. Connect PLUS offers all services related to navigation, remote control functions, anticipation of vehicle maintenance, vehicle fleet management, plus 2 different optional connected services: My Wifi to benefit from Wi-Fi in the car and share this functionality with up to 8 passengers and My Alert, to receive a real-time alert via the app when the vehicle moves without authorization or is removed.

Security is provided by 14 advanced ADAS devices, which include systems such as traffic sign recognition, lane keeping assistance, advanced emergency braking system, rear view camera with dynamic indications, Grip Control with Asphalt, Snow, Sand and Mud modes, which offer a different response of the traction control to the particular conditions of the terrain.

Stellantis is the great dominator in the segment of medium vans with electric propulsion, offering alternatives with characteristics similar to the Fiat E-Scudo both in Peugeot - Expert range - and in Opel - Vivaro - or Citroën - Jumpy -, to which is added the Proace range from Toyota, a strategic partner in the commercial vehicle category. Brands such as Ford, with the Transit Custom Van, or Mercedes with the eVito, also offer alternatives with 100% electric propulsion.
