Production of Fiat Ducato and rebranded versions takes place at two sites in Europe
- The first Fiat Ducato (light utility vehicle in the N1-3 segment) was born in 1981. Following an agreement with the French group PSA Peugeot-Citroën for the creation of the joint company Sevel (Société Européenne de Véhicules Légers), the Ducato was released in under Peugeot (Boxer) and Citroën (Jumper) versions from that time. All three models were produced at the Sevel Sud plant located in Atessa, in the Sangro Valley (Val di Sangro in Italian) at the foot of Abruzzo. The Opel version (Movano) arrived in 2021, after the acquisition of Opel by PSA. Finally, the Toyota version (ProAce Max) arrived in 2024.
- Sevel Sud - Val di Sangro plant has a production capacity of 260,000 vehicles per year. However, since the five models mentioned above sold nearly 300,000 units in 2024 (289,000 units to be exact), another production site had to be found capable of producing some of these vans. A former Opel site in Poland (Gliwice) had been nearly closed since the Opel Astra was discontinued in 2021. This is where the assembly lines for the N1-3 segment vans, which could not be assembled at the Val di Sangro site. The Gliwice site has a production capacity of 100,000 vehicles per year.
- In 2024, this plant produced 96,000 vehicles, including 24,000 Citroën Jumper, 24,000 Peugeot Boxer, 24,000 Fiat Ducato and 24,000 Opel Movano, while the Sevel Sud - Val di Sangro plant produced 193,000 vehicles, including 116,000 Fiat Ducato, 39,000 Peugeot Boxer, 38,000 Citroën Jumper. In total, this model family remains one of the most popular among light utility vehicles sold in Europe , along with the Ford Transit and Transit Custom produced in Turkey. The Fiat Ducato remains the best-selling (140,000 units in 2024), ahead of the Peugeot Boxer (63,000 units) and Citroën Jumper (62,000 units).
