In 2017 the agreement between Fiat and PSA for vans comes to an end. According to the French car magazine Auto Plus, Fiat has an agreement with...Renault...on co-production.

That means the Fiat Ducato will be based on the Renault Master and the Fiat Scudo will be based on the Renault Traffic. Given that both Renaults are fairly new models, it likely means the Fiat versions will be rebadged. It''s very possible that Fiat's own engines will be used in at least some models, particularly the Master/Ducato cab-chassis. Fiat has dominated the camping car market in Europe for decades (current market share is over 90%) and I'm sure that won't change with the new agreement.

That will mean the Master and Traffic vans will be badged as Renault, Nissan, Opel/Vauxhall and Fiat. Given that Opel/Vauxhall also uses the rebadged Dobló, they will be selling the exact same range as Fiat.

No word on the Qubo/Fiorino/Bipper/Nemo for the moment. That range will be 10 years old by 2017 so it may continue as is, get restyled, replaced or dropped.
