Fiat brand to electrify 60 percent of its models by 2021

By the end of 2021 about 60% of the car models offered by Fiat Chrysler’s Fiat brand will be electrified, either hybrid or entirely electric, the Head for EMEA for Fiat, Lancia and Abarth brands Luca Napolitano stated on Tuesday.

“By end-2021, out of all Fiat models offered, 60% will be electrified, better than the market average,” said Napolitano in a recorded web presentation.

Fiat this year has released the full-electric Nuova 500 small car, hybrid versions of its 500 and Panda models, together with hybrid Y, Lancia’s only vehicle presently on offer.

More Fiat models are expected to be provided in hybrid versions in the future, consisting of the 500X compact SUV and the Tipo sedan.
