Fiat 500 Wins Yet Another Award

Fiat 500 Wins Yet Another Award
The Fiat 500 wins yet another award in the "City car" category
of the BusinessCar awards, taking this award for the third
consecutive year running.
"No doubt the car's looks aid its success, with the
bubble-shaped vehicle still turning heads three years after its
launch. With Fiat introducing new TwinAir engines to its model
range, the least polluting 500 iteration now only emits 92g/km CO2,
making it a sensible choice for savvy fleet managers wanting to
keep business costs down with a decent city run-around. The success
of these engines, currently only available in the 500 in
turbocharged 85hp form, has led the carmaker to plan a non-turbo
65hp version and a more powerful 105hp version."
"The 500 may well continue as the winner of this category as
Fiat told BuisnessCar late last year that the smaller TwinAir
engine allowed room for Hybrid components in the vehicle. A
spokesman said "The Hybrid version is already under development and
will have further CO2 and MPG benefits. It's in the prototype stage
and is a mild hybrid." BusinessCar
