SUPER HIGH ROOF LONG WHEELBASE: A STYLE THAT MADE IT FAMOUS

E-DUCATO E-METROPOLIS LH3 collects the legacy of the Ducato Metropolis already known to insiders, for being and remaining the first and only B-Class urban vehicle under 6 meters in total length (5.99mt); today also available in this version at ZERO EMISSIONS built on the basis of E-DUCATO full electric. This urban carrier with 17 seats + driver, presents itself in this completely renewed guise both in the contents of the interior and in the concept of accessibility, transformed to make it more versatile, elegant and performing. New interior coverings that allow maximum exploitation of the volumes of the passenger compartment, also ensuring a useful rear height of more than 1.95 meters (maximum for the category) excellent for ensuring volumes and spaces suitable for a use of parking and continuous flow of people entering and leaving. This unique habitability makes E-DUCATO E-METROPOLIS LH3 an excellent solution for collective transport not only in the city but also in airport areas, waterfront lines, industrial contexts closed to traffic (dependent transfers) or areas of the historic center with traffic limited to public transport only; the electric traction, in fact, allows a use without traffic restrictions and in maximum silence.

E-DUCATO E-METROPOLIS LH3 comes with a double configuration of seats that can be ordered during the purchase phase: "standard" configuration with 10 people sitting, 7 standing + driver and "disabled" configuration, equipped with a wheelchair loading platform, positioned at the rear, and areas dedicated to the stowage of the non-ambulatory disabled on a wheelchair; with this configuration the total seats are reduced to 15 (see configurations in the attached brochure).

ACCESSIBILITY AND EASE OF TRANSIT OF PASSENGERS

The adoption of new saddlery CITIPRO of ruspa, vandal-proof, sanitizable and ergonomic, arranged to ensure easy accessibility to the seats, united the elimination of internal loft structures (incompatible given the presence of batteries under the floor), have allowed a significant reduction of the weights of the vehicle improving its drivability and a great ease of reaching the seats. Also new are the internal handrails for standing staff, consisting of cold-bent stainless steel tubes and applied to the load-bearing structures of the passenger compartment by mechanical couplings; the areas of transit and stationing of standing personnel are free of gleanings, very spacious and bright, obtained through the adoption of noble materials such as pre-painted aluminum to cover the super high roof (unique in the category) and the side sides of the passenger compartment.

STUDY OF "CITY-FRIENDLY" SPACES AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The passenger compartment of the E-DUCATO E-METROPOLIS LH3 it is characterized by ABS coatings of color appropriate to the plastics of the driver's cab, fireproof and free of gleanings and visible screws aimed at optimizing cleaning, sanitizing and maintenance operations; the upper part of the roof, the pavilion and the sides of the passenger compartment are characterized by high-strength scratch-resistant pre-painted aluminum coatings, coupled with highly soundproof anti-vibration fixings; E-DUCATO E-METROPOLIS LH3 defines professional standards characterized by robust content, stylistically refined and born for heavy use with high load frequency, typical of urban services. The selleria single-seater "CITIPRO RUSPA" by "orange" color in high-strength vandal-resistant material, easily washable and sanitizable, it is equipped with upper handles, aluminum finishes and ultra-thin ground fixing feet; E-DUCATO E-METROPOLIS LH3 is also equipped with a specific seat "PMR" of yellow color for people with reduced mobility, larger in size, equipped with armrest and adjacent to the "rescue" button directly connected to the driver. The passenger compartment is characterized by the presence of a particular ultra-light and ultra-thin flooring, on which the seats for the seat staff are installed. The floor covering provides a certified high-strength antistatic linoleum, with "WOOD TECH" shades in wood-like, edged perimeter to avoid infiltration of dirt and water and easily washable and sanitizable; the absence of the mezzanine compared to the previous version, optimizes and facilitates the cleaning operations of the interior even with aggressive sanitizing agents (surface without gleanings). The roof of the passenger compartment is characterized by a high-strength pre-painted aluminium cladding fireproof and soundproof "grey" color, fixed close to the original full-length sheet metal, supported by a large glass roof hatch with "emergency exit" function and by the handrail structures; this gives an excellent habitability and maximum exploitation of the volumes of the vehicle especially in height (best in class for this category of vehicles).

INTERIORS AND EQUIPMENT DESIGNED FOR AN URBAN SERVICE WITH CONTINUOUS STOPS
