The new Fiat hybrid powertrain has been created and can now be used in the smaller models such as the Fiat 500 and the Fiat Punto. The hybrid powertrain is to work in conjunction with dual-clutch transmission, ensuring that less CO2 emissions are released. The aim is to maintain 80 grams per kilometre for each of the smaller vehicles.
I was really surprised to see this as I always thought that a smaller car would not be as technologically advanced, especially in its ‘green’ ratings, but how I have been wrong! It just goes to show that even though it is a smaller car, it can be just as marvellous as a larger, pricier model- there is hope for me yet!
I can’t get too giddy just yet though, as a release date has not yet been confirmed and when it will be exported to the UK, but fingers crossed it comes soon, I am raring to test drive this new Fiat Punto ASAP!!
