Fiat Ducatoⓘ is celebrating its 45th anniversary, remaining the most popular base for motorhomes and campers in Europe. According to sources, the model has been produced since 1981 (other sources say since 1985). Over this period, 3.5 million units have been built, with about half sold to the motorhome sector (other sources cite 1.6 million chassis specifically for this sector).
A key advantage was the low-floor version introduced in 1982. The Ducato has been named the best camper chassis 17 times in a row, including in 2025 by readers of Promobil magazine. In Germany, 31,370 motorhomes based on the Ducato were registered in 2025 (+17% year-on-year), and in 2003, 200,000 units were sold to German campers.
The current generation has been in production for 20 years, with a replacement expected by 2030 due to stricter regulations. The electric E-Ducato offers a range of up to 424 km (WLTP) and charges from 0 to 80% in 55 minutes.
