No half measures

摘要

The 1957 Fiat 500 was the firm's answer to Europe's need for affordable personal mobility. The little car's rn479cc two-cylinder gasoline engine was chosen for its simplicity and efficiency. Consumers appreciated its 4.5 litres/100km fuel consumption.rnThe current 500 is still popular with people wanting a fun, compact mode of transport but Fiat, like all OEMs, has to push powertrain efficiency a lot harder. Personal mobility has to be made sustainable - in Europe that will mean meeting ever more stringent fleet CO_2 targets.
