CO2 emissions[edit]
Fiat Automobiles, one of Europe's 10 best-selling automotive brands, has for the second year
running been confirmed as having the lowest average value for CO
2 emissions from vehicles sold in 2008: 133.7 g/km (137.3 g/km in 2007). This was corroborated
by JATO, a provider of automotive data.[53]

Electric vehicles[edit]
Fiat started development of electric vehicles back in the mid 1970s, with the concept Fiat X1/23.
More recently in 2008, Fiat showed the Phylla concept,[54] and the Fiat Bugster concept in Brazil.[55]
Fiat joined utility companies Cemig and Itaipu to develop new electric vehicles for Brazil, with
production in 2009 of the Palio Weekend Electric.[56]
Fiat launched the electric 500e, a compliance car, in California in 2013, but no sales were planned
for Europe.[57] Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne claimed in 2014 that each one was sold at a loss of
$14,000.[58] In 2016, after Tesla had announced the Model 3 and had a high number of reservations
for the electric car, Marchione questioned whether Tesla could produce the cars and be profitable.
He then stated that "if Tesla CEO Elon Musk can demonstrate that the car will be profitable at that
price, I will copy the formula, add the Italian design flair, and get it to the market within 12 months."[59]

Motorsport[edit]
In 1971 the Fiat 124 Sport Spider was prepared for the World Rally Championship when Abarth
became involved with its production and development and from 1972 had relative success with two
wins in 1972, one in 1973 and won 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the 1974 Portuguese TAP Rally.[63]
The Fiat 131 Abarth was a very successful rally car replacing the 124. Between 1976 and 1981 the
Fiat 131 won 18 World Rally Championship events,[64] resulting in winning the WRC Drivers
Championship two times: in 1978, and in 1980, and winning the WRC Constructors Championship
three times: in 1977, 1978, and in 1980.[65]
Lancia took over the role of motorsport for the Fiat Group during the 1980s. After a long break of
factory-supported entries, in 2003 a Fiat Punto S1600 won the Italian Rally Championship, and 2006
the Fiat Grande Punto S2000 won the FIA European Rally Championship,[66] followed by three
successive wins in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Marketing[edit]
Logo[edit]

Fiat logo used from 1968 to 1999

The FIAT initials were first used in the distinctive logo form in 1901.[67] Beginning in 1931, the
company began using a single red shield without a wreath. In 1968 the "rhomboid" logo (as it was
known internally) was introduced which featured the FIAT initials spelled out on four
interconnected rhombuses. The rhomboid was slowly phased in during the early 1970s, although the
older "laurel wreath" style FIAT badge was used to denote sporting models such as the 124 Spider,
127 Sport, X1/9 and the tuned Abarth models. A new corporate nose based on the rhomboid logo
was first introduced in 1983 on the Uno, which consisted of five chrome bars inclined at an angle of
18 degrees to mirror the rhomboid, which usually appeared in reduced size at the corner of the grille.
In 1999 the wreath style logo was re-introduced to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the
company.

Motor Village and flagship stores[edit]


Fiat launched its Motor Village flagship store concept in 2006, with its Mirafiori Motor Village in Turin,
followed by London's on Wigmore Street in 2008[68] and Paris's on the Champs-Élysées in 2010.[69]

BSM-Fiat deal[edit]
In 2009, BSM (the British School of Motoring) ended a 16-year relationship with Vauxhall Motors and
signed a deal with Fiat UK to swap its learner vehicle from the Vauxhall Corsa to the new Fiat 500.
Fiat UK will supply 14,000 cars to BSM over four years in a marketing deal.[70]
