Fiat clinches major van deal with Scottish Water

Fiat Professional has secured a major deal with Scottish Water to provide 111 vans, including 40 fully electric variants

The water company has invested in 69 Doblo, 39 E-Doblo and three E-Scudo vans as part of its commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2040.

All the vehicles have been converted to ensure they are fit for their intended use. These adaptions include fridges for water samplers, pipe racks, tow bars, hand wash stations, lockers and heaters. Several of the electric vans are already in use, with some driving more than 100 miles per day, with

the E-Scudo quoting a WLTP range of up to 217 miles and 205 miles for the E-Doblo. Elaine Pringle, fleet manager at Scottish Water, said:

Integrating E-Doblo and E-Scudo vans into our fleet marks a significant step forward in our journey towards decarbonising our fleet.

The specialised conversions of these vehicles meet our operational requirements that enable us to provide excellent water and waste water services for our customers, while the addition of electric vans also demonstrates our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and achieving net zero by 2040.
