The Ducato comes with a choice of 3 sophisticated Multijet 16 valve common-rail diesel engines. To ensure that the engines are environment-friendly and meet the Euro 4 emissions limit all 3 engines are equipped with an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system which re-circulates a portion of the exhausts gas back into the engine to reduce nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions. The smallest engine of the group is a 2.2litre 100bhp which comes with a 5 speed gearbox. The second engine is 2.3 litre with 120bhp and the largest engine of the three is a 3.0 litre 157bhp unit. Both the 2.3 and 3.0 litre engines come with 6-speed manual transmission gearboxes and require an oil change every 28,000 miles, whereas the 2.2 litre engine requires a change every 25,000 miles.
