Judging by the evolutionary updates on the Fiat Professional Van lineup for the 2024 MY, Stellantis knows, as should all commercial van shoppers, that it’s a mistake to not pay as much attention to your business or cargo van shopping as you do when investing in a personal or family vehicle.
Unlike your sedans, sports cars, hatchbacks, and even minivans, commercial vans are directly and actively involved in running businesses and putting food on many tables. The damage a low-quality forklift can do in a warehouse is synonymous with the critical role of vans in running a business, whether used by working professionals or delivery drivers.
Stellanti’s new Fiat Professionals boasts updated infotainment, convenience, safety, and connectivity features to improve productivity and help businesses run smoother. This article reviews all six models in the Fiat Professional lineup for 2024, including the electric and gas versions.

The 2024 Fiat E-Ducato offers open arms to businesses looking to cut fueling and maintenance costs while taking advantage of available government incentives and tax benefits. The E-Ducato is a versatile, eco-friendly electric van with a choice of two batteries - a 47kWh unit and a larger 79kWh pack.
The van comes in multiple body styles, including panel van and chassis-cab versions with different lengths, roof heights, and wheelbases to meet various usage requirements. The electric Ducato should make it considerably cheaper to run a fleet.
It uses a 279-hp (272PS) electric motor generating 302 lb-ft (410Nm) of torque. With a new 110kWh battery, it can cover up to 261 miles on a single charge (WLTP). The van is equipped with a three-phase 11kW onboard charger and can charge at 150kW from a DC rapid charger, allowing for a quick 0-80% charge in just 55 minutes.
The E-Ducato’s standard safety features, including a rearview parking camera, rear parking sensors, traffic sign recognition, and intelligent speed assist, demonstrate the van's priorities. It also offers level two autonomous driving capability, with adaptive cruise control, lane positioning assist, and traffic jam assist.
Inside, the E-Ducato is as high-tech as any modern automobile, including a 10-inch touchscreen with integrated satellite navigation, voice recognition, and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility. Additional comfort features such as keyless entry and go, electronic parking brake, and automatic air conditioning elevate the overall driving experience.
The new E-Ducato did not replace the gas model. The 2024 Fiat Ducato also offers a gas model powered by a 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine producing 139 horsepower (140PS) or a 178-hp (180PS) version with an automatic gearbox.
The gas model remains a reliable and fuel-efficient van for businesses that prefer traditional fuel-powered vehicles. Both the electric and gas models of the 2024 Fiat Ducato prioritize safety, performance, and practicality.
Like the new e-model, the gas Ducato offers a similar range of tech, connectivity, convenience, and safety features.
Like the E-Ducato, the 2024 Fiat E-Scudo is a versatile and efficient electric panel body van for businesses and individuals looking to embrace sustainable mobility. It flaunts a modern design outside and advanced technological features inside, all making the E-Scudo offer a compelling package in the commercial van segment.
This is a fully-electric midsize van with 136 max horsepower and a maximum payload capacity ranging from 1,000kg to 1,226kg, depending on the wheelbase and battery pack chosen. It can accelerate from rest to 60 mph in a humble 10.8 seconds, as the various battery options, with support for fast charging, deliver a range of up to 205 miles (WLTP) on a single charge.
The battery sizes are 50 kWh and 75 kWh, but the cabin might feel slightly cramped. The E-Scudo offers a faster 11kWh charging option, although this is optional, and the availability depends on the market. Inside the E-Scudo, passengers will find a spacious, ergonomic cabin equipped with modern infotainment and safety features.
It has a touchscreen display, with support for smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as the central hub for accessing multimedia, navigation, and vehicle settings. The multiple USB ports in the van allow device charging and connection to external media sources.
The van offers a range of ADAS features such as lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. The included rearview camera assists with parking and maneuvering in tight spaces, while the front and rear parking sensors help drivers navigate parking situations.
The 2024 Fiat Scudo gas model relies on 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter turbodiesel engines mated to a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission. The Scudo is known for its generous cargo space and practical design. The technology, safety, and convenience features mirror that of its new electric sibling.
The 2024 Fiat E-Doblo is an innovative electric commercial vehicle designed to cater to the evolving needs of businesses and individuals. Focusing on sustainability and efficiency, the E-Doblo uses a 100kW motor and a 50kWh battery pack, providing an official range of up to 175 miles.
The van’s 136 horsepower is punchy enough for daily commuting and cargo transportation. It can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 11.7 seconds, providing a balance of power and efficiency.
Notably, the E-Doblo features three driving modes - Normal, Eco, and Power, with varying levels of torque and performance. Inside, the E-Doblo has a spacious, flexible interior layout that supports various cargo configurations. The rear individual foldable seats and innovative Magic TOP feature enhance loading capabilities.

Fiat is offering the gas-powered Doblo with a choice of three engines producing up to 138 horsepower: a 1.2-liter petrol engine and two versions of a 1.5-liter diesel in L1, Maxi L2, and Crew Van body versions.
When it comes to the interior space, though, it makes no difference the body style you choose, although the Maxi L2 boasts the most cargo capacity if equipped with the optional lead-through bulkhead. In contrast, the Crew Van body version sacrifices some cargo space with rear seats in place.
With a payload rating of up to 1000kg, the gas Doblo van is a strong competitor in its segment and class. The max towing capacity is rated at 1,200kg, and the van’s fuel economy is impressive for a gas-powered model. The 2024 Fiat Doblo petrol version returns a 39.7 mpg combined WLTP fuel economy rating, while the diesel version returns 49.5 mpg.
