We knew that Chrysler would eventually offer a version of the Fiat Ducato commercial van for North America. The confirmation was made last week at the Auto Show in Los Angeles.
A vehicle very popular in Europe, especially in Italy.
This is the Commercial division RAM that will handle the marketing of the new vehicle that will begin next year.
Section before RAM
Promaster RAM will be available in North America will be identical to the European model, despite the appearance of a section before a product worthy of RAM, which should resemble the eponymous truck.
U.S. lifts?
The commercial van will be powered by new engines, borrowed from the U.S. division of Chrysler LLC.
Bet that the Pentastar V6 3.6-liter 305 horsepower will be one of them.
In Europe, it is powered by a four-cylinder 3.0-liter turbo diesel that delivers a power of 177 horsepower and a torque of 542 lb-ft.
Commercial vehicles and delivery of this type abound in North America:
Chevrolet Express
Ford Transit
Ford E-Series Van
GMC Savana
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Nissan NV200
The Westfalia Columbus
He will soon return to Canada and New West is the company of Saint-Nicolas, specialist in conversion vans, recreational vehicles, which will distribute in Canada.
Columbus is just the Westfalia van Fiat Ducato converted recreational vehicle.
