Exactly 25 years ago, the Fiat Ducato started in Brazil. Since 1998, FIAT Professional has sold more than 130,000 vans in the South American country. Just in time for the anniversary, the fourth model generation of the Fiat Ducato is coming onto the market in Brazil. The new Fiat Ducato underscores its leading role with even more technology, modern connectivity and a refreshed interior. After more than 15 years as a leader in the segment in Brazil, FIAT Professional also takes another step towards consolidation in the entire South American market with the launch of the new Fiat Ducato. Around 64,000 vans were newly registered in Brazil in 2022. FIAT Professional was the market leader in this segment with a market share of 37 percent. The success is based on innovations and a modern vehicle fleet. Examples include the launch of the new Fiat Fiorino in 2021 and the new Fiat Scudo – also with all-electric drive – the following year.
In Brazil, the new Fiat Ducato will only be available with a 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine that delivers 103 kW (140 hp) and maximum torque of 340 Newton meters. The engine is characterized by lower weight, higher efficiency and reduced emissions. The new Fiat Ducato offers standard body variants for both goods and passenger transport. The transporter can also be configured as an ambulance, sales vehicle, school bus or mobile home using special bodies and extensions. Buyers of the new Fiat Ducato in Brazil have access to the country's largest network dedicated to commercial customers. Present in over 230 sales and service points across the country, FIAT Professional offers a comprehensive range of products, services and solutions for professional customers. With full coverage of the van market, FIAT Professional relies on specialized staff and services tailored to commercial customers. For example, the FIAT Professional bases guarantee 100% availability of spare parts for routine maintenance. Scheduled inspections can be carried out on the same day or even within a few hours.
