Stellantis revealed today its revamped lineup of commercial vehicles. It\u2019s part of the company\u2019s Pro One initiative, the new name for its light commercial vehicle business that bundles six brands into one group. It has now launched 12 vehicles for Citroen, Fiat Professional, Opel, Peugeot, and Vauxhall, including the Fiat E-Ducato that likely previews the Ram ProMaster EV. We\u2019ll see Ram\u2019s \u201creinvigorated\u201d North American lineup later this year.<\/p>\n
Ram will reveal the electric ProMaster EV by the end of 2023. Ram\u2019s revamped commercial lineup will include the 1500 REV in late 2024, one of four electrified pickups from Stellantis that\u2019ll serve commercial customers. Fiat and others also make trucks. Stellantis says it will release more details about its \u201cupcoming electrified van and pickups\u201d for North America at an unspecified date in the future.<\/p>\n

The new 2024 Fiat E-Ducato that debuted today packs a 110-kilowatt-hour battery offering up to 261 miles of range. Rumors continue to suggest the ProMaster EV, which was supposed to debut in the first half of the year, will share a lot with the electric Fiat Ducato that is for the European market. Stellantis says the new EV has 30 percent more range than the previous example, with up to 270 horsepower and 302 pound-feet (410 Newton-meters) of torque.<\/p>\n
The van has a new charging system and two standard onboard chargers, with the fast-charging system capable of refilling the battery in just 55 minutes.The EV and the rest of the company\u2019s revamped commercial lineup will use the second generation of battery-electric vehicle propulsion technology. It will power the compact, mid-size, and large van segments from Pro One\u2019s six brands.<\/p>\n
In the compact segment, an electric van from Stellantis could have up to 205 miles of range. The mid-size vans, which will feature 50- or 75-kilowatt-hour battery packs, will have up to 224 miles of range. The large vans from the various brands can go up to 261 miles on a single charge. These figures reflect the forgiving WLTP cycle.<\/p>\n
Stellantis will also introduce second-generation hydrogen fuel cell technology. It will provide power to its mid-size vans, launching in mid-2024. The company says the new propulsion system can provide up to 249 miles of range, and the Ram\u2019s future US portfolio will include vehicles with hydrogen fuel-cell tech. It\u2019ll also expand to the company\u2019s large vans next year, with up to 311 miles of range and a five-minute refill time.<\/p>\n
The new lineup of commercial vans also includes updates to the cabin with a new generation of the automaker\u2019s human-machine interface. It has larger configurable instrument clusters and center displays, which work with the Dynamic Surround Vision camera system. Over-the-air updates are also now possible, and the new commercial vans come equipped with full LED headlights.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re excited to see Stellantis\u2019 updates for Ram, the ProMaster EV, and more in the US.<\/p>\n
