The Fiat TRIS joins a growing class of micro electric commercial vehicles such as the Citroën Ami Cargo, Piaggio Ape E-City, and Mahindra Treo Zor.
However, Fiat’s offering stands out with its European build quality, zinc-coated frame, and payload rating that rivals larger vans — all at a fraction of the cost.
Its three-wheeled layout might raise eyebrows, but Fiat insists it’s stable and safe, boasting a wide rear track, extended wheelbase, and automotive-grade chassis.

While Fiat hasn’t confirmed official pricing, early reports suggest the Fiat TRIS 2025 could start at around £10,000 ($12,700).
Production has begun in Kenitra, Morocco, with the first markets being Africa and the Middle East in late 2025. Fiat also plans to introduce the TRIS in Europe, depending on regulatory approvals and demand.
