Interesting Facts About the Fiat Ducato 290
The Fiat Ducato 290 belongs to the first generation of the Ducato line, which debuted in 1981 and ran until the early 1990s. It transitioned out of production just as the second‑generation Ducato arrived in 1993, marking a key redesign period for the model family.

First‑Generation Launch (1981‑early 1994)
The Fiat Ducato 290 was introduced as part of the original Ducato lineup (coded X290) in 1981. This first‑generation run continued until early 1994, covering the early years of the model’s history.
Shift to the Second Generation in 1993
In 1993 Fiat rolled out the second‑generation Ducato, which was still built by the Sevel joint venture and even saw production at the Fiat Auto Poland Tychy plant. This redesign marked the end of the era for the first‑generation 290.
Parts Availability Challenges for Older Ducatos
Owners of pre‑2000 Ducatos, including the 290, often report difficulty finding replacement parts because Fiat typically retains parts for only about ten years after a model’s production ends.
