With the launch of the new E-Doblò, the FIAT Commercial brand continues its path towards electrification. FIAT is aiming for a fully-electric lineup by 2024, and to offer nothing but an all-electric lineup by 2027. Furthermore, the new E-Doblò hits a double milestone: it is the third electric model for FIAT, following the debut 500e and E-Ulysse, and is the third electric vehicle for FIAT Professional, after E-Ducato and E-Scudo.

The new Doblò will be available in two lengths and three different configurations (Van, Crew Van, and Combi) and offers a wide range of engines capable of satisfying any needs. 

Close attention was given to the vehicle’s comfort during the design phase to consider the needs of professionals who use their vehicle eight or more hours a day. The goal is to offer a stress-free work experience with sound insulation and suspension designed to reduce bumps and vibrations.

The fully-electric E-Doblò offers a best-in-class payload of up to 800 kg (1,763 lbs.) on both wheelbase lengths. The internal combustion engine (ICE) powered Doblò can reach up to 1 ton (2,000 lbs.) of load capacity. Available in both long-wheelbase and short-wheelbase versions, Doblò is ready for any contingency: the long-wheelbase version reaches a maximum volume of 4.4 m³ (156.4 ft³) thanks to the Magic Cargo feature. The Crew Van’s long-wheelbase body allows unique modularity between seat and cargo space, thanks to a sliding bulkhead, which enables to modulate cargo space or passenger seating as needed.

Three ICE powertrains are available: a 1.5-liter BlueHDi inline-four-cylinder turbodiesel offered with either 100 horsepower (only available with a 5-speed manual), 130 horsepower version of the 1.5-liter offered with their the manual, or 8-speed automatic transmission, and a gasoline turbocharged 1.2-liter inline-three-cylinder delivering 110 horsepower and 250 Nm (184 ft.-lb.) of torque.

The new E-Doblò is equipped with a 100 kW electric motor and a 50kWh battery that allows more than 280 km (173 mi) of autonomy, in the WLTP cycle. The new E-Doblò reaches a top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph) and up to 260 Nm (265 ft.-lb.) of maximum torque. Plus, the zero-emissions version offers one-of-a-kind flexibility to the customer and a best-in-class charging capability, thanks to the “Quick Charge Mode” up to 100 kW, which allows charging in direct current 80% of the battery in just 30 minutes.

The E-Doblò allows the driver can choose between different modes (Normal, Eco, and Power). Each mode modifies the vehicle’s driving response, enhancing and optimizing the vehicle performance: “Normal” is recommended for driving in regular traffic; “Eco” improves its fuel economy and “Power” improves the peak power of the vehicle. The E-Doblò’s battery pack did not cause any structural changes, allowing the E-Doblò to be equipped with the same dimensions, features, and configurations as the standard ICE models.
