Fiat unveils world`s greenest fuel engine

RELATED NEWS

Fiat will this year equip its trademark 500 model with a new, superclean fuel engine as it steps up emission reductions to remain among Europe's most eco-friendly car producers, its brand head said on Tuesday.

The Twin Air, a two-cylinder engine that Fiat unveiled at this year's Geneva International Car Show, will be installed in 500 vehicles as of September, Lorenzo Sistino told a news conference.

"It has taken the car sector 15 years to cut CO2 emissions by 20%. With the new Twin Air, the world's most ecological fuel engine, Fiat will cut CO2 by a (further) 30% in one stroke," Sistino said.

By unveiling the engine, which thanks to improved technology can offer the same performance of a four-cylinder one, the Italian carmaker continues in its effort to produce small, efficient and green cars.

"Twin Air is another step ahead for eco-technology and can represent a giant leap for the environment," Sistino said.
