Fiat Has launched a new Ute, but it was not designed to compete Toyota Hilux or Ford Ranger, but it is a Last Mile delivery vehicle that is currently directed towards Africa and the Middle East, but may come to Europe in the not too distant future.
The new Fiat Tris is a tricycle electric mute that only measures 3.17 m from the head to the tail. As a reference, Kei cars that are popular in Japan – and increasingly to be seen on Australian roads as used imports – are 3.4 m long.
Available in pickup truck, platform or chassis-cabin configurations, the tiny tris has a 2.25 square meter load point from the back. The freight area can absorb a standard European European and the payload capacity is rated at 540 kg.

For those who fear that it fears like a dependent Robin, Fiat has optimized the tris for stability with a wide rear lane and a long wheelbase. It drives on 12-inch wheels and should “be well suited for both urban and rural environments.
The tris is driven by a 48 -V electric motor 9 kW And 45nmWhich is able to motivate the tricycle to a top speed of 45 km/h.
It is powered by a 6.9 kWh lithium battery, which is good for 90 km in the range of the World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC).
Charging can only be carried out via a standard -220 -V connector and takes 4 hours and 40 minutes to get a complete charge, while from empty up to 80 percent 3.5 hours are required.
There are no doors to hinder admission and output, and the cabin has a 5.7-inch instrumentation display, three-point belts, a 12 V-outlet, a USB-C connection, storage network and a closed glove compartment.
Judging according to the photos, the seat cushion seems to be placed directly on the battery of the car. Other subtleties are LED headlights, a reverse number and a washing armor.
Although the Tris is only introduced in Africa and the Middle East, it is homologically for EU regulations. According to Fiat, European sales are an option because “this type of intelligent, sustainable solution speaks a universal language”.
The Fiat Tris is the youngest in a number of non-Ganz-A-Car vehicles from Stellantis. From 2020, the car manufacturer launched the Citroen Ami, Opel Rocks and Fiat Topolino (above), a number of tiny vehicles with two seats.
Due to their small size, their slight weight and their limited performance and top speed, they are classified as a second-door quadricycles, so that they can be driven in some EU countries without license.
