The electric version, to be called the E-Doblo, has 100-kilowatt electric motor and a 50 kilowatt-hour battery that provides more than 280 km of range in the WLTP cycle.
The E-Doblo is the third electrified van offered by Fiat Professional, after the Ducato large van and the Scudo medium van. Citroen, Peugeot and Opel/Vauxhall also offer full-electric vans in all three main segments.
The Ducato shares a platform with large vans from Citroen, Opel/Vauxhall and Peugeot, and is built in Atessa, Italy, at the Sevel Sud facility. The Scudo has recently moved to a Stellantis platform, and will be built in northern France alongside Citroen, Peugeot and Opel models.
Fiat's last brand-specific van is the Fiorino, a smaller model than the Doblo which is also built at the Tofas factory.

The announcement that the new Doblo will be built in Spain raises questions about the future of the Tofas joint venture, which was set up as a partnership between the Turkish Koc group and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, now part of Stellantis.
Tofas previously said output of the Doblo light commercial vehicle would continue at its factory until end-2022. But it said on Monday that assessments were continuing on extending the current Doblo version output until the end of 2023 for non-European markets, including North America, Turkey, the Middle East and Africa.
A version of the Doblo is sold in North America as the Ram ProMaster City.
