Fiat with the lowest level of CO2 emissions in Europe once again

Fiat Automobiles has kept it steady and for the fourth year in succession has been considered by JATO Dynamics as the brand with the lowest level of CO2 emissions by vehicles sold in Europe in 2010.

The Italian brand registered an average measurement of 123.1 g/km, which also represents a cut of 4.7 g/km on the 2009 average. The Fiat Group was also first in its category with an average of 125.9 g/km, 5 g/km less than in 2009. These values are certified by JATO Dynamics, the world's leading automotive consultancy and research firm.

Over the last four years Fiat Automobiles has managed to make a continuous improvement reducing emissions by 10%, from 137.3 to 123.1 g/km of CO2. This level is significantly lower than the target set out by the European Union for 2015, fixed at 130 g/km.

Thanks to the investment on technologies such as the TwinAir engine, the world's most "ecological" turbo petrol engine, the use of alternative fuels such as Methane/LPG and the development of innovative technology such as eco:Drive, Fiat has managed to bring the emissions from its vehicles down.
