Italian vehicle brand Fiat has launched a groundbreaking three-wheeled electric vehicle, Tris, which has been designed as a zero emissions business solution to meet the needs of micro transportation for last mile deliveries.
The name stems from the vehicle’s three wheels, its modular design and its signature LED arrangement.
It has also been designed in three configurations: chassis-cabin, flatbed and pick-up.
Fiat said the vehicle, which is first being rolled out in Africa and the Middle East, has been positioned to play a pivotal role in the motor manufacturer’s global expansion plans.
“Tris is more than just a new vehicle; it’s a breakthrough in how we think about urban mobility – born from Italian creativity at the Centro Stile (Fiat’s design centre) and engineered for the realities of daily life,” said Olivier Francois, CEO of Fiat and chief marketing officer at the brand’s holding company, Stellantis.
“As cities grow and the need for clean, accessible transport becomes more urgent, we saw an opportunity to offer something radically simple and profoundly useful. Tris answers that call – providing independent workers, small businesses and underserved communities with a cost-effective, zero-emissions tool to move forward.”
He said the vehicle is set to transform last mile mobility and open new doors to economic empowerment and social inclusion.
“We believe its potential goes far beyond – Europe may be next because this kind of smart, sustainable solution speaks a universal language.”
Manufactured in Morocco, Tris will be introduced in main markets across the Middle East and Africa region.
The vehicle is engineered to support a range of professional applications, including last mile delivery, on-site services and urban logistics. It is 3.17 metres in length and has a tight 3.05 metre turning radius, allowing it to easily navigate narrow city streets.
The cargo area offers approximately 2.25 square metres of load space and the ability to accommodate a standard euro pallet. It has a gross vehicle weight of 1 025 kg and payload maximum capacity 540 kg.
Its lithium battery has capacity of 6.9 kWh providing a homologated range of 90 km.
Stellantis Middle East and Africa (MEA) chief executive, Samir Cherfan, said the company is strengthening its investments in the micromobility sector, which is no longer limited to moving people.
“It is a powerful driver of inclusion and local economic growth. From last mile delivery to digital platform services, micromobility supports entrepreneurs, boosts logistics and strengthens communities in dynamic cities and underserved rural areas,” he said.
As the MEA region’s urban population grows by 3% annually, micromobility offers a scalable and sustainable solution to growing congestion and transport deficits.
