Stellantis will produce a new Toyota LCV based on the Fiat Ducato from 2024
The Stellantis and Toyota groups have been collaborating for several years in the field of LCVs (light utility vehicles).
In the N1-1 segment, which represents small light commercial vehicles, the Toyota ProAce City borrows its bodywork and engines from the Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner, Opel Combo and future Fiat Doblo. This vehicle is produced at the Spanish site in Vigo, alongside these models.
In the N1-2 segment, which represents medium-sized light utility vehicles, the Toyota ProAce borrows its bodywork and engines from the Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert, Opel Vivaro and more recently Fiat Scudo. This vehicle is produced at the French site in Valenciennes alongside these models.
In the N1-3 segment, which represents large light commercial vehicles, there was currently no Toyota model based on the Stellantis group models. The Stellantis and Toyota groups have therefore just decided to extend their partnership in this category. The new Toyota LCV which will top off the ProAce and ProAce City range from 2024 will borrow its bodywork and engines from the Citroën Jumper, Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducato and more recently Opel Movano. The new Toyota LCV, whose name is not yet known, will be produced at the Polish site in Gliwice and at the Italian site in Val di Sangro alongside its counterparts from the Stellantis group.
The production volume of Toyota LCVs in Europe did not exceed 69,000 units in 2021, compared to 250,000 Fiats, 225,000 Citroëns, 210,000 Peugeots and 154,000 Opels.

Fiat Doblo and Talento will be replaced in 2022
The 2022 year will be the year of renewal for Fiat branded light utility vehicles. These new vehicles will not be based on Fiat design for the Doblo (segment N1-1) and the Renault design for the Talento (segment N1-2). As for the Fiorino (segment N1-0), it will be stopped without being replaced, as a consequence of the decision taken by the European Commission on the market competition.
The future Fiat Doblo and Talento (which will be named Scudo for the utility version and Ulysse for the passenger version) will be based on the platform, the engines and the design of the PSA light utility vehicles, meaning the Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner/Rifter, Opel Combo for Doblo and the Citroën Jumpy, Peugeot Expert, Opel Vivaro for Scudo / Ulysse. It is to be noted that the current Fiorino and Doblo are quite old as they date from 2007 and 2010 respectively. On Fiat design, there will therefore only remain the Fiat Ducato (segment N1-3), on which the Citroën Jumper, Peugeot Boxer and Opel Movano are derived. These vehicles are the largest LUVs in the Stellantis group.
The furure Fiat Scudo / Ulysse based on PSA models has just been unveiled and will be produced in the first quarter of 2022 while the future Doblo based on PSA will be presented during the next summer. The new Scudo / Ulysse will be produced at the Valenciennes plant, alongside the Jumpy and Expert (models of the K0 family). The Toyota Proace, which is also based on the Jumpy/Expert, is also assembled at the Valenciennes plant.
As for the new Fiat Doblo, it is expected to be produced in Bursa in Turkey, unless the management of Stellantis decides to produce a part in Vigo and Mangualde, alongside the Berlingo, Partner and Combo (models of the K9 family). The Toyota Proace City, which uses the same body, is also manufactured at the Vigo site.

Peugeot wants to go all-electric in 2030 in Europe
The Stellantis group announced during the year that its brands would gradually switch to battery electric technology in terms of new cars, the group's brands sold in Europe being the first to switch to all-electric, the last being the brands marketed in North America, like Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram.
Here is the summary of the switch to all electric at Stellantis: Abarthin 2024, DS in 2024, Maserati in 2025, Lancia in 2026, Alfa-Romeo in 2027, Opel in 2028 and Fiat in 2030.
There was still an imprecision concerning Peugeot and Citroën. Today, this imprecision is clarified because the Stellantis group has just announced that the Peugeot brand will switch to all-electric in 2030 in Europe. Peugeot, however, plans to maintain a thermal offer for markets outside Europe.
The Peugeot range in Europe, now consists of the 208, 2008, 308, 3008, 508, 5008 which make up the line-up of passenger cars, as the 108 was discontinued last summer. In addition, a new model named 4008 is scheduled for 2022. It is therefore a minimum of seven models that will have to switch from thermal motorisations to electric motors by 2030. The future generation of the 3008 and 5008 scheduled for 2023 will continue to be marketed in thermal versions until 2030 but the next generation will necessarily be battery electric. The future generation of the 308 and 508 will also be battery electric, just like the future generation of the 208 and 2008 scheduled for 2026.

Peugeot and Citroën cancel their projects in the A-segment market
The Stellantis group has decided to cancel plans for the future Peugeot and Citroën A-segment models, which were to replace the Peugeot 108 and Citroën C1, whose production was halted last summer at the Czech plant in Kolin.
The models planned for 2025, coded P44 for the Peugeot and CJ4 for the Citroën, were supposed to be small SUVs of 4.15 m long representing the new entry level of the two brands. These vehicles were intended to be marketed with an electric powertrain. At Peugeot, for example, the future e-1008 would have been cheaper than an e-2008 or an e-208.
Because these two models were already in preparation, they took over an existing platform, the “low cost” CMP of the Citroën C3 produced in India from 2021 and adapted to this market, and not the future “Small” platform, not yet in production. These future small models were planned to be offered in emerging markets in South America, in particular with thermal engines (gasoline).
For cost reasons, but also because since the start of the CJ4-P44 project (May 2019) the Stellantis group was created and gave priority to Fiat and Citroën to invest in emerging markets, the future small projects have been purely cancelled. The Stellantis group continues despite everything in the A-segment, with the Fiat brand and the e-500, which could be the only one to be positioned at the long term in the A-segment within the group, since the replacement of the Panda will be repositioned on the B-segment.

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.
