- 04/07/2011 - The New Ducato the evolution of success

The new Ducato continues to stand out with its original design, and features a completely new range of engines. Offering, as always, reliable engines with low consumption and running costs, for responsive and satisfying driving even in city traffic, today the new Ducato has excelled itself, with even more engine options available.
To meet the diverse business needs of our clients, the new model offers 4 new Euro 5 turbodiesel MultiJet direct injection engines, from 115 to 177 HP, with 5 or 6 speed gearboxes and ground-breaking fuel consumption and CO2 emissions levels (from 6.4 l/100km and 169 g/km regardless of usage or specific features).

The Fiat Ducato also offers new interiors, with a never before seen chrome finish on the plastic dashboard and new upholstery which makes the driving compartment even more attractive and comfortable, in addition to practical and extremely functional. The passenger compartment, with its extensive glass surfaces to optimise working conditions and guarantee maximum comfort, preserves internal light to create excellent visibility. The true star feature of this new model has to be the dashboard: the centre console has been completely redesigned, including a radio and a myport, to connect Fiat's TomTom system.

You can now choose between different trim levels: the basic version, which still offers more features and comfort than the previous version, with its chrome inserts and graphics (the climate controls, the gear knob and the vent controls), the Techno, an exclusive version enhanced by chrome effect finish on the plastic components and gloss surfaces, which, along with the new radio, create an elegant and technological vehicle, and the Wood trim level which uses Dip-print™ technology to create a walnut effect - an exclusive feature of the new Ducato designed for the Camping Car sector and for the more refined passenger, shuttle and mobile office vehicles.

The new Ducato also features Traction +, the innovative traction control system which increases the vehicle’s traction on difficult and slippery terrain. The vehicle's infotelematic system is also completely new, from Blue&Me to eco:Drive Professional - systems which suggest the best routes for drivers, or help them to drive correctly and economically. Blue&Me is also available in the Blue&Me-TomTom LIVE version, a device which allows the management, using a practical colour touch-screen, of your mobile phone, navigation, mediaplayer and all the information you need for your drive, acquired directly from the vehicle’s on-board electronic systems, as well as the HD Traffic function, certified as the best traffic information system currently available.

Thanks to Blue&Me and eco:Drive Professional - the innovative and exclusive eco:Drive application developed specifically for Fiat Professional - you can now analyse vehicle trip data such as driving style, average fuel consumption, total distance covered or the impact of the load on the vehicle's efficiency, and receive suggestions on the best way to optimise your vehicle's efficiency. The extensive data collected by eco:Drive Professional can be subsequently grouped and processed through the eco:Drive Fleet web platform, which manages all data on individual vehicles in a fleet and makes it possible to plan efficiency improvements. The new Fiat Ducato range remains well-structured and diverse, with around 2,000 chassis-engine-mechanics combinations, including goods transport, passenger vehicles and bases for conversions and various body types.
