The future Fiat Scudo will be based on the Renault Trafic
- As of 2016, Renault will produce the future Fiat Scudo in the Sandouville plant. The future light commercial vehicle is a derivative of the Renault Trafic that was launched this year. Other LCVs also share the body of the Traffic: Vivaro (produced Luton) and the Nissan NV300 (produced Sandouville).
- The current Fiat Scudo, based on the Peugeot Expert / Citroën Jumpy is produced in JV with PSA in the Sevelnord plant (France). The agreement ended in 2012, but PSA (that took over the 50% stake Fiat had in Sevelnord) is continuing the production of LCVs for both groups until 2016. At which time, the production capacity dedicated the Scudo in Sevelnord shall be used for the future Toyota ProAce. However, it is possible that the production volumes of the Toyota ProAce may be lower than those of the Scudo.
- In recent years, Fiat Scudo sales were on average of 20 000 units per year, but reached a peak of 40 000 units in 2007. At the Renault plant, the future Fiat Scudo could be produced at 30 000 units per year and allow the Sandouville plant to grow from 110 000 units this year to 140 000 in 2018. The plant could thus be closer to the targets set by the management of Renault.
- Renault already produces LCVs in cooperation with Opel (Vivaro Movano-), Nissan (NV300-NV400) and Mercedes (Citan).
