Introducing the Tris: Fiat's Electric Tricycle for Sustainable Deliveries

TRIS, designed at the Centro Stile in Italy, is a fully electric vehicle with a range of 90 km, created to be an affordable ultralight commercial vehicle. Manufactured in Morocco, TRIS will be introduced in the main markets of the MEA region.

Available in three configurations: chassis-cab, platform, and pick-up, it is the brand's response to sustainable mobility needs, with a special focus on professional drivers and last-mile deliveries.

The name "TRIS" is inspired by the vehicle's three wheels, its modular design, and its distinctive three-light LED arrangement. The simplicity of the name ensures easy pronunciation in various languages, allowing it to reach audiences worldwide.

Its modular configuration, available in 3 versions, Flat Bed, Pick-Up, and Chassis-Cab, ensures maximum flexibility to meet the diverse needs of professionals. The Pick-Up version is the ready-to-work solution, ideal for transporting various goods such as fruits, sand, or furniture. The Bed and Chassis-Cab versions offer the perfect base for custom upgrades, any specialized solution developed in collaboration with FIAT Professional's certified partners or directly by customers. The vehicle's design prioritizes driver-centered ergonomics and space, providing ample room in all directions for better comfort, even during long shifts; its design prioritizes ease of use, making it easy to drive without a clutch or gearbox, while its integrated charging capability allows for seamless recharging with a built-in 220 V plug, eliminating the need for an external charger. Designed with durability in mind, it also features a robust chassis designed for long-term performance, reflecting the structural robustness found in passenger cars. Its chassis and tubular structure are protected against corrosion with an automotive-grade zinc coating, ensuring lasting reliability even in demanding working conditions.

One of TRIS's strengths is its extraordinary versatility. The vehicle is designed to support a wide range of professional applications, including last-mile delivery, on-site services, and urban logistics. Its compact size, just 3.17 meters in length, combined with a tight turning radius of 3.05 meters, allows it to navigate narrow city streets with ease. The cargo area is also spacious, offering approximately 2.25 square meters of cargo space and the ability to accommodate a standard europallet. Additionally, it features a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 1,025 kg and a certified payload capacity of up to 540 kg.

The TRIS is equipped with a range of advanced features: a modern 5.7-inch digital instrument cluster displays essential driving information, such as distance to empty and battery level.

Accessibility to power is also a priority, with a USB-C port and a 12 V power outlet ensuring devices can be charged on the go. The vehicle's LED lighting system, with FIAT's new signature pixel design, provides excellent visibility while reinforcing its distinctive style. TRIS complies with European homologation standards, incorporating three-point seat belts (meeting EU safety standards), front LED lighting with ignition-activated dipped beams, a reverse warning buzzer, and a windshield washer reservoir.

The lithium battery, with a capacity of 6.9 kWh, provides a homologated range of 90 km (WMTC), ensuring sufficient range for daily professional use in various urban and suburban environments. Notably, it is the same robust and proven battery technology used in the Fiat Topolino, now adapted to meet the specific demands of professional use, whose real-world performance has already been validated by vehicles in circulation.

Charging is designed to be convenient and hassle-free. Thanks to its integrated smart charging system, TRIS can be charged from 0 to 80% in just 3.5 hours, reaching full recharge in 4 hours and 40 minutes, using a standard household plug. This allows professionals to easily charge their vehicle overnight or between shifts, ensuring maximum uptime and efficiency for daily operations.

The vehicle's powertrain has been carefully designed to balance performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Powered by a 48-volt electric motor delivering 9 kW (maximum power) and a maximum torque of 45 Nm, TRIS is capable of reaching a top speed of 45 km/h. Stability is ensured by its optimized design, which includes a wide-track rear axle, an extended wheelbase, and 12-inch tires, making it well-suited for both city and rural environments. Further developments will follow, as TRIS, like other FIAT Professional vehicles, will offer connected services such as fleet management or vehicle tracking.

TRIS is designed with a strong focus on driver comfort, recognizing the importance of ergonomics in professional vehicles. The spacious cabin allows for easy entry and exit, reducing fatigue during frequent stops. The ergonomic driving position is designed for long working hours, enhancing overall comfort. Practicality is also key, with multiple storage compartments, including a closed glove box on the dashboard for a total of 3 liters and additional storage nets as accessories. The range of accessories developed with FIAT Centro Stile and Mopar also includes a robust protective mat.
