THRIVE verdict
Strong payload for an electric medium van, but modest load volume and towing, at an above-median price.
The E-Scudo's payload of 1,210kg sits above the median for medium vans, which is a genuine strength for an electric panel van carrying heavy batteries. Load volume of 5.3m³ is below the class median, and the floor layout takes three Euro pallets or two UK pallets in a single row, with 8x4 sheets lying flat between the wheel arches.
Range of 194 miles and usable battery of 69kWh both sit exactly at the median for electric medium vans, and peak DC charging of 100kW is also mid-pack, with a 45 minute 5-80% rapid charge. This is a van that does the job without standing out on range or charging speed, so it suits planned, depot-based work rather than long, unpredictable days on the road.
At £41,460 before the Zero Emission Van Grant, this sits above the medium van median price, and after the £5,000 grant it still lists £6,455 more than the equivalent diesel Scudo. Energy costs favour electric when charged at a depot or at home rather than on public rapid chargers, so the right call depends on mileage and where the van actually charges. It's also sold as the Citroën ë-Dispatch, Peugeot E-Expert and Vauxhall Vivaro Electric, all effectively the same van.
Best for
- operations needing a payload above the medium van median
- pallet and sheet-material work with a defined floor layout
- depot or home-charged fleets running predictable routes
Think twice
- towing capacity below the class median at 1,000kg
- load volume below the class median at 5.3m³
- price above median, and still a premium over the diesel after the grant

Other Fiat Scudo versions
| Version | Fuel | Payload | Range / economy | Price ex VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiat Professional Scudo L1H1 diesel | Diesel | 1,173 kg | 40.9 mpg | £30,005 |
| Fiat Professional Scudo L2H1 diesel | Diesel | 1,121 kg | 39.8 mpg | £30,905 |
| Fiat Professional E-Scudo L2H1 | Electric | 1,138 kg | 194-230 miles | £42,260 |
Every length, roof and fuel side by side, with a configurator, on the Fiat Scudo page.
What fits in the load area
| Euro pallets (1,200 x 800mm) | 3, in a single row |
|---|---|
| UK standard pallets (1,200 x 1,000mm) | 2, in a single row |
| 8 x 4 sheets (2,440 x 1,220mm) | Lie flat on the floor, between the wheel arches |
| Pipe, timber or ladders | Up to 2.5m on the floor |
Worked out from the verified floor length 2,512mm, 1,258mm between the wheel arches, 1,397mm high. At the full Euro pallet count, the payload allows about 400kg per pallet. Counts use the width between the wheel arches for the whole floor, so they never over-count. Door openings are not in our data: check the rear and side door apertures before relying on a count. Goods stacked on a pallet can stand up to about 1,247mm tall, allowing 150mm for the pallet itself.
Electric or diesel?
How the Fiat Professional E-Scudo Panel Van M Electric 136hp Automatic MY26.5 compares with Fiat Professional Scudo Panel Van M Diesel 120hp Manual MY26.5, the same body with the other powertrain, for a typical working day.
Electric could work: check the points below
- Range. 100 miles a day sits comfortably inside a planning range of about 136 miles, so an overnight charge covers the day.
- Payload. The electric version carries 37kg more (1,210kg against 1,173kg).
- Towing. Braked towing: 1,000kg electric, 2,000kg diesel.
- Energy. Charging at a small-business depot costs about 10.2p a mile against 18.4p for diesel: roughly £2,050 a year less at 25,000 miles.
- Price. The electric version lists for £6,455 more after the £5,000 zero emission van and truck grant, which the energy saving covers in about 3.1 years.
When the diesel is the more practical choice
- Towing more than 1,000kg.
How this is worked out
- Planning range is 70% of the official 194-mile WLTP figure, allowing for winter weather and a full load.
- Energy use 0.356 kWh a mile: the usable battery divided by the official range.
- Diesel 165.48p a litre excluding VAT (DESNZ, week of 2 November 2026); the Fiat Professional Scudo Panel Van M Diesel 120hp Manual MY26.5's official 40.9mpg.
- Electricity: 28.59p/kWh at a small-business depot (DESNZ, excluding VAT), 26.32p at home as the driver pays (Ofgem price cap), 65.83p on public rapid chargers (Zapmap, excluding VAT).
- 250 working days a year. List prices exclude VAT and options; running costs exclude servicing, insurance, tax and residual values.
