Inovev forecasts 35,000 units per year of the new Fiat Scudo / Ulysse
- Following the merger of PSA with FCA, it was announced that the Fiat light utility vehicles of the N1-2 segment would take over the body and platform of the Peugeot Expert and Citroën Jumpy, and no longer the body of the Renault Trafic and Nissan NV300. This decision is now effective with the launch of the new Fiat Scudo (light utility vehicle) and Ulysse (passenger car version of the light utility vehicle). The names follow those that were used in the late 1990s until the early 2010s, at a time when Fiat was already collaborating with PSA on utility vehicles and MPVs.
- The new generation of the Fiat Scudo will therefore replace the Fiat Talento (based on Renault) from the beginning of 2022, while the Fiat Ulysse will play the role of a large minivan (like the first generation Fiat Ulysse), in direct competition with the Peugeot Traveler (based on the Expert), Citroën Space tourer (based on the Jumpy) and Opel Zafira Life (based on the Vivaro).
- The Fiat Scudo and Ulysse will use the engines already mounted under the hood of the Expert, Jumpy and Vivaro, meaning the 2.0 HDI diesel (developed originally by PSA), available in 120 hp, 145 hp and 180 hp, as well as the 136 hp electric motor(with a battery pack of 50 kWh or 75 kWh). A hydrogen fuel cell version is planned later, probably in 2025. This engine will equip at the same time the Peugeot Expert, Citroën Jumpy and Opel Vivaro.
- As for the other three models of the Stellantis group, the Fiat Scudo and Ulysse will be assembled at the French plant of Valenciennes. Inovev forecasts a production of 35,000 units per year for the two new models Fiat Scudo and Ulysse.
