A sleeker line, a more dynamic and robust personality: the New Ducato style stands out on the road. The new design is the result of the joint work of the Engineering & Design team, the Style Centre and motorhome manufacturers. Affording a host of customisation possibilities, horizontal silhouettes which facilitate integration with the style of the living unit, easy driving and manoeuvring, thanks to the compact length of the front of the vehicle, which maximises the dimensions of the unit. The new design focuses not only on styling but also on functionality. It has been designed to optimise vehicle safety and quality: for instance, the new DRL (Daytime Running Light) headlights featuring LEDs (Light Emit- HEADLIGHTS ting Diodes) are placed high up for improved lighting The LED DRL headlights are efficiency and at the same time protecting them from located in an area exposure to small knocks.

Driving comfort and respect for the environment: here are the eco-friendly engine versions. Outstanding performance, low fuel consumption and emissions: with the new generation of engines and gearboxes, comfort and travelling pleasure are assured. The New Ducato has a dedicated Euro 5+ engine for every kind of trip. Each of the 4 engines is not adapted to various uses only by different settings of the electronics, but has specific technical char- acteristics depending on the version: such as dis- placement, variable geometry turbine and MultiJet II injection that provide power and efficiency. Each engine is best-in-class in terms of fuel consump- tion and emissions. The 115 to 180 HP engines, along with a tailor- made set-up for the gearbox for the Fiat Ducato motorhome base versions, favour torque at low revs in order to ensure effective pick-up with a minimum decibel level to improve driving comfort. These engines are also “best-in-class” in terms of fuel consumption and emissions and starting to- day offer the “Gear Shift Indicator” function which helps reduce fuel consumption even further. All gearboxes have also been tested on motorhome versions and offer specific ratios that better adapt to this mission. For those who want ultimate peace of mind at the wheel and fuel saving, the “Comfort-Matic” 6-speed robotised gearbox is available on 130/150 and 180 MultiJet versions.
