Since its introduction in 1981, over 5 million Fiat Ducato vehicles have been produced, and the Fiat Ducato now has more than 70% of the market share for camping cars in Europe. The popularity of the vehicle is due to its high level of versatility, making it an ideal model not only as a camping car, but also as a commercial or transport vehicle. FCA Japan President Pontus Häggström commented, “FCA Japan, which was established in 2015, set a record number of 20,000 units sold in the 2016 calendar year, and we are now aiming to expand our yearly sales volume to 30,000 units by 2019. Therefore, we are aggressively searching for opportunities to participate in new fields as one of our pillars of growth. As part of that effort, we began examining the possibility of introducing the Fiat Ducato, which has proven to be an attractive product, into Japan’s RV market, which has shown signs recently of significant growth. Therefore, as a first step, we decided to exhibit the Fiat Ducato Van at the Japan Camping Car Show 2017, the largest show of its type in Asia, and to unveil the model at the show for the first time in the Japanese market.” At its booth at the Japan Camping Car Show 2017, FCA Japan will also exhibit the Fiat 500 compact model alongside the Fiat Ducato to allow customers to confirm firsthand the Fiat brand and its expansion into broad segments.
