Fiat has announced its three-wheeled electric mini-van

Fiat Tris is offered with three different body options: chassis cab, open body and closed body. The vehicle, which is extremely compact with its length of 3.17 meters, still has a loading volume of 685 liters and a carrying capacity of 550 kilograms. The loading area is designed to easily accommodate a single Euro pallet.

The vehicle’s power unit is a 48-volt electric motor. This motor, connected to the rear wheels, can produce 12 horsepower (9 kW) and accelerate the Tris to a speed of 45 kilometers per hour. The energy requirement is met by a 6.9 kWh battery pack.

This battery offers a range of up to 90 kilometers on a full charge. Tris, which can be charged with a standard home type socket, reaches 80% from 0% in 3 hours and 30 minutes, and full charge in 4 hours and 40 minutes. It was announced that Fiat Tris will be offered for sale in African and Middle Eastern markets first.

Although a clear date has not been specified for the European market, it is planned to meet users in this region in the future. So what do you think about this model? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
