The Fiat Ducato is a light commercial vehicle created through a partnership between FCA Italy and PSA Group (currently known as Stellantis), with primary production carried out by their joint venture, Sevel, established in 1981. This model has been sold under various names, including the Citroën C25, Peugeot J5, Alfa Romeo AR6, Talbot Express, and since 1994 as the Fiat Ducato, along with the Citroën Jumper (known as Relay in the UK and Australia, and Dispatch for a shorter version in Australia) and the Peugeot Boxer (branded as Manager in Mexico). The vehicle entered the North American market in 2014 as the Ram ProMaster for the 2015 model year.
Manufacturing is concentrated mainly at the Sevel Sud facility located in Atessa, Italy, with additional assembly plants including Iveco’s factory in Sete Lagoas, Brazil; Karsan in Akçalar, Turkey; FCA’s Saltillo Van Assembly Plant in Mexico; and Fiat-Sollers in Elabuga, Russia. Since its inception, production has surpassed 3.5 million units. The "Ducato" name pays homage to the historic ducat coin, continuing Fiat’s tradition of naming light commercial vehicles after ancient currencies.
In July 2019, FCA Italy launched an electric variant of the Ducato, which became available for purchase starting in 2020, with an updated model scheduled for release in 2024. The North American market saw the introduction of the Ram ProMaster EV unveiled early in 2024.
Beginning with the 2021 model year, the Ducato was rebranded as the Opel/Vauxhall Movano, succeeding the earlier Movano based on the Renault Master platform. It is also marketed as the Toyota Proace Max.
Four-wheel drive configurations are accessible through conversions by French specialist Dangel, who utilize a central viscous coupling system.
The Ducato serves as Europe's foremost motorhome chassis, supporting roughly two-thirds of all motorhomes across the continent.
First generation (1981)
Introduced in 1981, the Ducato was developed through a collaboration initiated in 1978 between Fiat and PSA Peugeot Citroën. Production was carried out at both the Sevel Val di Sangro plant in Atessa and the Sevel Campania plant in Pomigliano d'Arco, Italy. These facilities also produced related models such as the Alfa Romeo AR6, Citroën C25, and Peugeot J5. In the UK market from 1986 to 1994, the Peugeot J5 was sold under the name Talbot Express. This joint venture followed earlier collaborations that produced vehicles like the Fiat 242 and Citroën C35 starting from 1974.
Fiat’s engine lineup included a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine alongside a 1.9-litre diesel option. Trim offerings comprised base, S, and SX levels. Model designations reflected payload capacity: Ducato 10 (1.0 tons), Ducato 13 (1.3 tons), Ducato 14 (1.4 tons), and Ducato Maxi 18 (1.8 tons). The first-generation Ducato gained popularity as a base for campervan conversions. Additionally, a short-wheelbase variant was marketed as the Fiat Talento.
In August 1992, Fiat introduced the Ducato Elettra, featuring a 43 kW Leroy-Somer T29C electric motor powered by twenty-eight six-volt VRLA gel cell batteries providing 168 volts DC. This electric van offered a payload capacity of 750 kg, a maximum gross vehicle weight of 3190 kg, and could travel up to 70 kilometers on a single charge.
Fiat Talento
The Fiat Talento is a light-duty commercial vehicle manufactured by Fiat, initially introduced in 1981 as a shorter wheelbase variant of the Ducato. Production of the first generation ended in 1994.
In 2016, the Talento name was revived for a rebadged version of the Renault Trafic (X82), maintaining Fiat's tradition of naming commercial models after historical currencies, with "talento" referencing an ancient unit of precious metal weight.
Alfa Romeo AR6
The Alfa Romeo AR6 represented a rebadged version of the Ducato, marketed solely within Italy as the successor to the Alfa Romeo Romeo. Available in two wheelbase options and multiple body styles—including passenger van, commercial van, and pickup—it marked Alfa Romeo's last foray into commercial vehicles. Manufacturing occurred at the Sevel Campania facility in Pomigliano d'Arco until Alfa Romeo withdrew from this segment on 1 January 1986. The same plant continued producing the Fiat Ducato until its closure in 1994.
Citroën C25
Produced from October 1981 until 1993, the Citroën C25 was a 2.5-tonne van that replaced the post-World War II Citroën Type H one-tonne van. It was equipped with transversely mounted engines: a petrol unit derived from the Peugeot 504 and a diesel engine sourced from the Citroën CX, both utilizing Citroën transmissions.
In 1982, the lineup expanded to incorporate pickup and minibus variants. The series 2 facelift in 1991 introduced a larger grille design. The C25 was succeeded by the Jumper model in 1994.
Peugeot J5
The Peugeot J5, another 2.5-tonne van produced between October 1981 and 1993, shared its powertrain options with the Citroën C25. With the 1991 series 2 update came revised grille and headlight styling. Its successor, launched in 1994, was the Peugeot Boxer, which was based on the second-generation Fiat Ducato platform.
Although the J5 achieved moderate success within France, it struggled to gain traction internationally due to Fiat Ducato's more extensive dealership presence across Europe.
Talbot Express
Exclusively sold in the United Kingdom, the Talbot Express was the last vehicle to carry the Talbot badge, replacing the aging Dodge Spacevan. This badge-engineered model entered production in 1982 and continued until 1994—several years after Talbot ceased passenger car manufacturing.
Powered by petrol and diesel engines from Citroën/Peugeot, it featured front-wheel drive with transversely mounted engines. A limited-production four-wheel-drive variant was also offered.
The Series 2 Express debuted in 1991 with an enlarged grille design. Production ended in 1994 when Peugeot discontinued the Talbot brand.
In the UK, this van became popular for camper conversions by specialized coachbuilders. Well-preserved units retain considerable value despite their age, contrasting with lower market prices for standard commercial versions.

Second generation (1993)
Introduced in 1993 by Sevel, the second-generation Ducato presented an updated range, with Peugeot renaming its variant as the Boxer and Citroën relaunching the C25 under the name Jumper (marketed as "Relay" in the UK and Ireland). By 1998, diesel engines had advanced from the Fiat 2.5 L unit to a more potent 2.8 L Iveco/Sofim powerplant.
The Ducato Goods Transport model offers a cargo volume capacity reaching 12 m3, powered by four Euro 3-compliant engines: a 2.0-liter petrol and three turbocharged diesel options—2.0 JTD, 2.3 JTD 16V, and the robust 2.8 JTD. Transmission systems include a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic, both engineered to facilitate straightforward maintenance.
For passenger transport applications, the Ducato accommodates between six and nine passengers and is equipped with the fuel-efficient, Euro-3 emission standard compliant 2.3 L JTD 16v engine delivering around 110 bhp.
The Ducato Combi combines passenger seating with cargo flexibility, capable of carrying up to nine individuals while offering adaptable load configurations. The lineup includes Ducato 10 (1 ton), Ducato 14 (1.4 tons), and Ducato Maxi18 (1.8 tons), designed to meet varied commercial transportation requirements.
2002 facelift
In February 2002, the second series underwent a facelift featuring redesigned rear and side bump mouldings alongside an updated front grille. The engine selection comprised the 2.0 JTD, 2.3 JTD 16v, and 2.8 JTD units, with the previous 2.5 diesel option discontinued. Model designations were revised to correspond to their maximum gross vehicle weight: Ducato 29 (2.9 tons), Ducato 30 (3.0 tons), Ducato 33 (3.3 tons), and Ducato Maxi 35 (3.5 tons).
On December 15, 2005, production milestones reached three million units, with daily manufacturing increasing to nine vehicles. This generation was assembled at Fiat Auto Poland's Tychy facility in complete knock down form, at Iveco's plant in Sete Lagoas, Brazil, at Karsan's Alkaçar factory in Turkey since 2000, and from 2006 onward at Fiat-Sollers in Elabuga, Russia.
Manufacturing of the Ducato, Jumper, and Boxer persisted in Brazil until December 2016.

Third generation (2006)The third iteration of the Jumper/Relay was introduced worldwide in September 2006 as a 2007 model, reaching the Australian market later in 2012 as a 2013 edition. The Boxer model followed in June, with the Ducato arriving in early 2008. This generation broadened its market presence by offering numerous variants designed to serve both passenger and freight transport needs. Payload ratings were enhanced, ranging from the Ducato 30 (3 tonnes) up to the Ducato Maxi 40 (4 tonnes). Three distinct wheelbase options—3000 mm, 3450 mm, and 4050 mm—are available for the van configurations, alongside three roof height choices of 2250 mm, 2500 mm, and 2750 mm, enabling versatility across various commercial uses. Vehicle lengths span roughly from 4950 mm to beyond 6300 mm, with extended wheelbases reserved for the longer body styles. This generation features an extensive engine range that includes petrol, diesel, and compressed natural gas (CNG) powertrains. It also encompasses electric models like the E-Ducato and Toyota Proace Max Electric, addressing increasing demands for environmentally conscious transportation solutions. MexicoSince November 2007, the third-generation Ducato has been available in Mexico with over 30 different configurations. Marketed under the Fiat Ducato and Peugeot Manager names, these versions closely mirror their European counterparts but are equipped with smaller diesel engines and manual gearboxes. The North American variant, featuring larger gasoline engines paired with automatic transmissions, is manufactured domestically in Mexico. Ram ProMasterBeginning in October 2013, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram Trucks division introduced the Ducato to the Canadian, Mexican, and U.S. markets as the Ram ProMaster. Following Chrysler's bankruptcy in 2009 and subsequent acquisition by Fiat, the ProMaster filled a void for large vans within these regions. Previously, Dodge Trucks had offered the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (from 2003 to 2009) and earlier models such as the Dodge Ram Van. Production of the ProMaster takes place at FCA's Saltillo Van Assembly Plant located in Saltillo, Mexico. Distinct from conventional body-on-frame commercial vans based on pickup platforms, the ProMaster employs a unibody chassis combined with front-wheel drive. This configuration results in a lower cargo floor height that facilitates easier loading while enhancing handling dynamics and safety performance. A notable divergence from the European Ducato lies in the ProMaster’s standard powertrain: a 3.6-liter 24-valve V6 Chrysler Pentastar gasoline engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Between 2014 and 2016, an Iveco-sourced 3.0-liter 16-valve EcoDiesel inline-four engine paired with an automated manual transmission was offered; however, only the gasoline V6 remains available today. For the 2021 model year, the ProMaster upgraded to a version of the Pentastar V6 featuring a nine-speed ZF automatic transmission. The ProMaster is offered with three wheelbase lengths—118 inches, 135.8 inches, and 158.9 inches—and four body lengths—195 inches, 213 inches, 236 inches, and 250 inches—with extended bodies exclusive to the longest wheelbase. Roof height options are limited to low (89 inches) and medium (99 inches). Panel vans are available across all size configurations; however, chassis-cab and cut-away models are restricted to the two longer wheelbases. Window van variants come exclusively with the longest wheelbase combined with medium roof height. In 2019, Ram refreshed the ProMaster’s front-end design featuring a grille emblazoned with RAM lettering and discontinued the EcoDiesel option, leaving solely the variable valve timing-equipped Pentastar V6 gasoline engine. Compliance with federal rearview camera mandates was achieved by making a five-inch Uconnect touchscreen radio standard equipment. At the 2020 Work Truck Show, Ram introduced safety enhancements for the 2021 ProMaster including optional features such as a digital rearview mirror integrated with a camera feed, blind spot monitoring paired with rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning equipped with emergency braking capability, and LED interior lighting upgrades. The model year 2023 saw a second styling update aligning its appearance more closely with other recently refreshed Ram vehicles. Early in 2024, Ram unveiled the ProMaster EV, an all-electric variant powered by a 110 kWh battery pack coupled with a motor delivering 270 horsepower (200 kW) (refer to "Electric versions" section). 2007–2010
Available exclusively for Fiat Ducato 2010–2014
Exclusively for Citroën Jumper and Peugeot Boxer Note: Certain markets continue to offer earlier engine variants.
Facelift (2014–present)The fourth-generation Ducato/Jumper/Relay/Boxer, built on the X290 platform, was introduced in mid-2014 as a 2015 model, except in Australia where the Relay/Dispatch received facelifts in 2017 and 2019. Although it retains the underlying architecture of the third generation, this update brought a significantly redesigned front fascia featuring headlights with a more automotive appearance. Euro 6 compliant engines debuted with the 2017 model year; notably, Fiat’s version was distinguished by its lack of AdBlue requirement. Meanwhile, the Relay/Boxer/Jumper models incorporated PSA’s 2.0L DW10 Euro 6 engine. The Ram ProMaster underwent a refresh in 2019, showcasing a new grille design alongside enhancements to payload capacity and towing capabilities. In 2019, to comply with Euro 6d emissions regulations, the Ducato transitioned from a twin EGR system to an AdBlue system on its 2.3L engine. That same year, the Boxer/Relay/Jumper replaced the PSA DW10 2.0L engine with the larger 2.2L DW12 unit. By 2021, advanced safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane keeping assist were incorporated into the lineup. Following Groupe PSA’s acquisition of Opel and Vauxhall and its subsequent merger with FCA forming Stellantis, the Ducato was rebranded as the Opel/Vauxhall Movano, supplanting the prior Renault Master-based model. In 2022, both Ducato and ProMaster models received updated dashboard designs along with the introduction of the nine-speed 948TE automatic transmission—standard equipment on the ProMaster and offered as an option on the Ducato.
