Electric Vehicles
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, and the Fiat Bugster concept in Brazil.
Some Fiat vehicles are converted to all-electric by Micro-Vett: Fiat Doblò, Fiat Fiorino Cargo Electric and Fiat 500 (NICE/Fiat Micro-Vett e500).
Fiat is joining utility companies Cemig and Itaipu to develop new electric vehicles for Brazil, with an initial batch of Fiat Palio cars scheduled to start testing later 2007.
