The Fiat e-Scudo is a fully electric light commercial vehicle (LCV) produced since 2021 as part of the Stellantis EV strategy. It features a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, a 75 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and a single-speed reduction gearbox. This powertrain delivers 100 kW (136 PS) and 260 Nm of instant torque, providing strong low-speed pulling power for urban delivery and logistics.
Fitted exclusively to the Fiat e-Scudo van (and its badge-engineered siblings, the Peugeot e-Expert and Citroën ë-Jumpy), the electric powertrain was engineered for zero-emissions operation in city centers and low-noise environments. It targets professional users requiring predictable running costs and compliance with urban access regulations like London's ULEZ.
One documented concern is the potential for reduced regenerative braking efficiency in very cold weather, as noted in Stellantis Technical Service Bulletin TSB-EV-2022-01. This is linked to battery thermal management systems limiting charge acceptance to protect cell longevity. Software updates have been issued to optimize the regen strategy under extreme conditions.
All production years (2021–Present) meet Euro 0 (zero tailpipe emissions) and UK CAZ/ULEZ standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EV/5678).
The Fiat e-Scudo – Electric is a 75 kWh battery electric vehicle (BEV) engineered for light commercial use (2021-Present). It combines a single permanent magnet motor with a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery to deliver strong low-speed torque and zero tailpipe emissions. Designed to meet all current EU and UK urban access regulations, it prioritizes operational efficiency and payload.

The electric motor provides instant torque ideal for stop-start urban driving but requires adherence to Stellantis' specific high-voltage safety procedures during any service. The 75 kWh battery demands charging infrastructure planning; AC charging (11 kW) takes ~7.5 hours, while DC fast charging (100 kW) can replenish 80% in ~30 minutes. Battery health is optimized by avoiding constant 100% charging and deep discharges. Regenerative braking efficiency can be reduced in sub-zero temperatures, as per TSB-EV-2022-01, requiring drivers to anticipate braking earlier. Cabin heating significantly impacts range in winter.
Oil Specs: Requires Stellantis-specific electric drive unit gear oil (Stellantis SIB TSB-EV-2022-01). Not interchangeable with ICE engine oils.
Emissions: Zero tailpipe emissions certified for all model years (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EV/5678). Compliance with all UK CAZ/ULEZ zones.
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards for electric motors. Peak power is limited by battery state of charge and temperature (Stellantis TIS Doc. EM-100-01).

The Fiat e-Scudo – Electric is a dedicated electric powertrain for the Fiat e-Scudo van platform with transverse mounting and is shared within the Stellantis group. This powertrain is mechanically identical to units used in the Peugeot e-Expert and Citroën ë-Jumpy, with only software calibration and branding differing. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the vehicle's model designation on the rear tailgate ("e-Scudo"). The 8th VIN digit is 'E' for electric variants. Under the hood, the absence of an internal combustion engine and the presence of orange high-voltage cables are definitive identifiers. The charging port is located on the front left fender. Service parts, particularly the drive unit and battery modules, are generally interchangeable between Fiat, Peugeot, and Citroën variants of the same model year, but software flashing via OEM diagnostics is required after replacement (Stellantis TIS Doc. EV-75-001).
The e-Scudo's primary reliability focus is on the high-voltage battery's long-term health and charging system integrity. Stellantis internal data indicates a very low rate of critical component failure, while UK DVSA MOT statistics show EVs like the e-Scudo have significantly fewer mechanical failures than ICE counterparts. Maintaining optimal battery state of charge (20%-80%) and avoiding extreme fast-charging cycles are key to maximizing longevity.
Analysis derived from Stellantis technical bulletins (2021-2024) and UK DVSA failure statistics (2022-2024). Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
