Fiat Comes First In Europe
Published Date: 25 August 2010
Once again Fiat has demonstrated its environmental credentials
after registering the lowest average CO2emissions for
cars sold in Europe in the first half of 2010.
The average Fiat CO2 figure of 123.5 g/km was
corroborated by leading automotive advisor JATO and is one of a
succession of landmark results.
Fiat finished first ahead of Toyota (128.0 g/km), Peugeot (132.3
g/km), Citroen (133.4 g/km), Renault (134.6 g/km), Ford (137.0
g/km), Opel/Vauxhall (141.0 g/km), Volkswagen (142.2 g/km), Audi
(154.2 g/km) and BMW (154.5 g/km).
Three Fiat vehicles finished in the top 20 for CO2
emissions with the Fiat 500 taking first place with
116.0 g/km of CO2, the Fiat Panda coming second
with118.9 g/km and the Fiat Punto in fourth place with123.5
g/km.
Fiat Group Automobiles was also confirmed first among the groups
(126.2 g/km), increasing the gap with respect to Toyota (130.0
g/km), PSA (132.8 g/km), Renault (136.7 g/km) and Hyundai (138.3
g/km). It means Fiat is the only automotive group that is already
below the European average goal of 130 g/km set for 2015.
Fiat SpA is also widely recognised as a sustainability leader.
For the second consecutive year the corporation has been included
in the Dow Jones Sustainability World and Dow Jones Sustainability
Europe indexes, receiving a score of 93/100 compared with the
Automobiles sector average of 70/100.
And last month Fiat Group was recognised as the Automobiles
sector leader in the Sustainalytics assessment with a score of
79/100. Sustainalytics is a global provider of environmental,
social and governance research.
These ecological achievements are the result of a long-term
strategy based on a two-pronged approach: implementing
technological solutions aimed at containing consumption and
emissions, and raising the awareness of motorists to encourage a
more responsible, eco-compatible use of their cars.
