At IAA Transportation, Stellantis showcased new solutions for commerce and logistics – from compact vans to autonomous delivery vehicles.
At the IAA Transportation show in Hanover, Stellantis Pro One is showcasing the launch of its Pro One NEXT operating system and three world premieres. The most significant new product is a Smart Compact Van for the C-segment . Since the model will be offered across all four commercial vehicle brands, the van will be marketed as the Citroën Berlingo Panel Van First, Fiat Doblò EasyPro, Opel Combo Start, and Peugeot Partner Active.

This is a modular passenger seat that can be folded down, increasing the storage space by half a cubic meter . Furthermore, thanks to the "Modutable" system, the van can be transformed into a mobile office, offering numerous modular storage and work surfaces.
Thanks to Moduwork, the passenger compartment can be configured in up to three different ways and allows for the transport of objects up to 3,40 meters long. The electric version of the van is expected to have a range of up to 270 kilometers, but it will also be available with three combustion engines and as a mild hybrid.

This model was specifically developed for urban environments and is already on the road in Morocco, for example. The new version now features doors for improved weather protection and, according to Stellantis, can carry a payload of up to 430 kilograms . However, type approval is still pending. In other markets, it is already operating with a maximum payload of 540 kilograms.
The electric drive is designed for a range of 90 kilometers , and charging is done via a standard household outlet. The TRIS is available in various modular configurations, including pickup, cargo, chassis cab, and flatbed truck.

The autonomous, all-electric concept vehicle aims to pave the way for new approaches to urban logistics. Developed with UQI Robotics, BOW represents a platform focused on autonomous logistics, connectivity, and digitalization – ideal for goods delivery, city logistics, and specific applications such as hospitals or airports.
To achieve broader market and price coverage, Stellantis Pro One will offer all model ranges in three trim levels: Smart, Mid-Level, and High-Level. A fourth variant, Special Series, allows for maximum customization, as seen in models such as the Opel Combo Tech and Peugeot Partner Pro-Skill 4x4.

CustomFit enables factory-installed conversions with over 650 certified partners . The solutions presented in Hanover included the e-Ducato Fridge with a 400-volt ePTO for high-performance refrigeration units, the Doblò Easy Pro with a specific interior structure for service technicians and urban logistics, and the Peugeot Expert Tech Edition with an integrated Unibox control system.
Other examples include the Opel Vivaro Dropside (solution for transporting up to four Euro pallets), the Opel Movano Crew-Van with a three-seater configuration, and the Citroën Berlingo panel van First Fridge with temperature-controlled cargo space.
