With over 70% of the vehicles produced at Mirafiori destined for international markets, the Fiat 500 continues to be a proud ambassador of 'made in Italy' excellence.
Olivier Francois, CEO of FIAT and Global CMO of Stellantis, highlighted the significance of this milestone, stating, 'The 500 Hybrid offers accessible electrification and iconic style, demonstrating that social relevance is at the heart of the brand's mission.' The initial pre-series units emerging from the assembly line are a clear indication of Fiat's determination to commence production within the fourth quarter of the year, aligning with the company's strategic objectives.
The introduction of the Fiat 500 Hybrid is a pivotal moment for the automotive sector, offering consumers across Europe and beyond the opportunity to embrace a more sustainable form of mobility without compromising on style or performance. As the Mirafiori plant gears up for full-scale production, the Fiat 500 Hybrid is poised to play a crucial role in Stellantis's broader electrification strategy, further cementing the brand's legacy as a pioneer in the automotive industry.
