Compromise-free all-new Scudo is the professional’s choice The new Scudo from Fiat Professional is the perfect companion of professionals, offering smart use of space, top-level capabilities, payload and volume all packed into compact external dimensions. The all-new LCV is based on Stellantis’ mid-van platform and available with a 100% electric powertrain alongside four diesel units. The E-Scudo has a best-in-class range of up to 205 miles (WLTP), ideal for those who work in the city and inner suburbs. It also boasts unique flexibility with two battery sizes – 50 and 75kWh – an AC charging capacity of up to 11kW, and up to 100kW in DC, to charge the battery to 80% in just 45 minutes. There are also 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. But there’s no compromise on load capacity, whichever power format you choose: 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. The car-like driving position ensures an excellent comfort level, while the elevated seating position ensures optimal road visibility. Easy accessibility is provided by an ergonomic step in the cabin. Road holding, comfort and suspension
filtering are ensured in any driving condition thanks to the four independent wheel suspensions enhancing variable stiffness springs, with load adaptive variable damping (AMVAC) shock absorbers, a system which varies the damping with the ride height. Safety features include 14 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features including: automatic road sign recognition; automatic emergency braking; lane departure warning; and blind spot alert.
