Campervan layout based on the Fiat Ducato: traveling with a new storage space concept

  • Height-adjustable bed in the rear area for expandable storage space
  • On sale from autumn: CV 640 PB layout variant
  • Constant expansion of the Etrusco campervan portfolio

Leutkirch, July 01, 2024 - Ample storage space in a campervan is crucial for a comfortable and stress-free camping experience. While more and more people are discovering the freedom and flexibility of camping, the need for efficient and generous storage space is also becoming even clearer: in close collaboration with the development department of Etrusco, a new model variant of the current campervan portfolio has therefore been developed. With the CV 640 PB, Etrusco is drawing on a tried-and-tested space concept from the current portfolio. However, a height-adjustable lengthways bed has been added in the rear area. The height adjustment allows Etrusco to extend the storage space while at the same time ensuring the necessary comfort in the sleeping area. The first delivery of the vehicles is scheduled for fall 2024.

Focus: Maximizing the storage space

Whether it's to store camping equipment, personal items such as bicycles or provisions, sufficient storage space is essential to keep the living area of the campervan tidy while providing space for travellers' needs and activities. In the CV 640 PB, Etrusco has created flexible storage space by integrating a new bed option in the rear. Thanks to the electric height adjustment, the height of the storage space can be individually extended from 73 centimetres to up to 140 centimetres. This increases the storage space volume from around 1350 litres to 2365 litres. Compared to the regular Etrusco campervan models, the width has been increased to 111 centimetres thanks to the optimised storage space for gas bottles at the side. The practical feature: if, for example, you want to transport a bike or motorised scooter in the campervan itself and use the bed for sleeping or resting at the same time, this is now possible for the first time without restrictions with the new campervan version.

‘We are delighted to be able to present this new campervan layout to our customers,’ said Sandra Marinaro, Product Manager at Etrusco GmbH. ‘Our team in Italy has worked hard to develop a solution that meets the needs of modern travellers. With the new bed design, we not only offer more flexibility, but also a comfortable sleeping option that takes the camping experience in our campervans to a new level.’

Proven space concept

The space concept of the new CV 640 PB is based on the current CV 640 SB with an overall length of just under 6.36 metres. The design of the seating area, kitchen area and bathroom (including shower) is based on the proven standard of the current Etrusco campervan models.

The current model comes as standard based on the ‘Fiat Ducato 35 Light Basis’ with a 2.2 litre Multijet and 103 kW (140 hp) engine. As an option, it is also available with a 130 kW (180 hp) engine variant with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Numerous safety and assistance systems are already available as standard from the factory. These include Hillholder (Hill Start Assist), CWA (Crosswind Assist), TSC (Trailer Stability Control), cruise control and Start & Stop function.

Etrusco also emphasises popular features of its campervan models. Isofix, soft-close system in drawers and overhead lockers as well as LED lighting in the interior come as standard. From the factory, Etrusco models come with a seven-year waterproofing warranty.

The design of the living area is based on the brand's current look and feel. The clean, modern living area with stylish high-gloss cabinets conveys the typical Italian flair. The Emilia living area with its bright, open colour scheme, which can be configured as an optional, is particularly popular with Etrusco campervan models.

Campervan availability

The new Fiat-based campervan with its innovative bed design will be available in various equipment versions and will be available from early summer at authorized dealers. The base price is EUR 58,999.
