Small ProMaster Van from Ram Commercial R am Commercial Truck will offer a new small cargo and passenger van for North America next year, a move the organization has hinted at for several years. The 2015-model ProMaster City will be based on the front-wheel-drive Fiat Doblo van already offered in Europe and elsewhere. However, the Ram ProMaster City will have familiar Ram Truck styling cues and offer features and powertrains preferred by North American commercial customers. The City will compete here with the updated Ford Transit Connect, the new Nissan NV200, and the Chevrolet City Express. The ProMaster City will join the large Ram ProMaster van. Like the bigger vehicle, it will be offered as a panel and window van. Ram did not offer any details on specifications.
