By / 18 hours ago / News / No Comments

Stellantis Pro One has unveiled its new Pro One Next fleet uptime operating system along with three world premieres at the IAA Transportation show in Hannover.

Operating from a 1,000m2 exhibition space, the commercial vehicle division is showcasing 13 vehicles across its Citroën, Fiat Professional, Opel and Peugeot brands, alongside a rebranded logo that marks its evolution to full ecosystem provider.

World debuts include the new BOW (Box-on-wheels) autonomous urban delivery concept vehicle designed for efficient, sustainable and always-on urban mobility. Developed in collaboration with UQI Robotics, the concept is designed to demonstrate how autonomous solutions could support a more efficient and sustainable logistics model for urban environments.

Also on display is the latest version of the Fiat Tris fully electric, three-wheeled micro-truck, which features a cargo box equipped for the first time with doors to enhance driver comfort and weather protection.

Tris is available in multiple configurations, including Pick-Up, Cargo, Chassis-Cabin and Flat Bed versions, allowing customers to tailor the vehicle to a wide range of professional applications. Despite its compact dimensions, it offers over 500kg payload capacity and space for two Euro pallets.

Powered by a 6.9kWh battery, Tris delivers up to 55 miles (90km) of driving range and can be charged from any standard 220V domestic socket.

Finally, Stellantis Pro One has debuted its new C-segment Smart Compact Van, designed using real-world customer feedback to maximise functionality and value without sacrificing capability. It will be sold across different Stellantis brands – including the Citroën Berlingo Van First, Fiat Doblò EasyPro, Opel Combo Start and Peugeot Partner Active – but will not be available in right-hand-drive form.

Stellantis is also showcasing the Pro One connected ecosystem, built on five pillars to boost efficiency. These include Pro One Next, featuring the Stellantis Pro One fleet uptime operating system, dedicated fleet management solutions and real-time data monitoring, based on the new Stellantis Pro One command centre.

Next is an advanced solution enabling real-time monitoring and proactive case management for all 800,000 connected Stellantis Pro One vehicles. The first command centres in the UK and the US are now operational.

The successive rollout will see the creation of ‘in-house’ Next command centres across Europe to provide local expertise and direct access to the assistance network wherever needed.

Other core Stellantis Pro One pillars include data and connectivity with 100% connected vehicles for better business efficiency and enabling over-the-air updates.

Stellantis Pro One also offers integrated services with a comprehensive suite of financing, renting, insurance and charging solutions for stress-free mobility.

Lastly, there’s Pro One CustomFit for conversion and personalisation solution, and the Professional Dealers Network, providing a global footprint of 21,000 service points.

To spotlight the CustomFit service, Stellantis is displaying various conversions at IAA. These include an eDucato Fridge, with the new 400V electric power take-off (ePTO) that enables high-voltage refrigeration units to be powered directly by the vehicle.

Also on display are a Peugeot Expert Tech Edition CustomFit that showcases a bespoke conversion for electricians, featuring shelving and the Unibox control system, plus an Opel Vivaro dropside.

Eric Laforge, senior vice president, Stellantis Pro One, said: “The innovations showcased in Hannover reflect the concrete actions behind our FaSTLAne 2030 roadmap. From Next and CustomFit to the new Smart Compact Van and the latest evolution of Tris, up to the reveal of the concept ‘BOW’. Every solution on our stand has been designed around real customer needs and operational efficiency. What visitors see in Hannover is our vision translated into action.”
