FIAT

At the end of the 19th century, when the world discovered a new concept of transportation, moving away from carriages and horses to more comfortable means, Fiat emerged and soon became one of Europe's most beloved automobile brands.

The brand's history began in 1899 when Italian entrepreneur Giovanni Agnelli opened Fiat's first factory in Turin, Italy. Local investors also participated in the creation of the automobile company, named the Italian Automobile Factory of Turin. Initially, only 150 people worked there daily, but subsequent successes allowed for the opening of another factory in the U.S. in 1908.

After World War I, Fiat's influence in the Italian market grew, with only two other automobile brands (Alfa Romeo and Lancia) surviving the intense competition. In the 1960s-90s, Giovanni Agnelli's grandson, Gianni Agnelli, led Fiat, introducing robotic systems in factories to further develop and bring new technologies to production. During these years, the brand released new models, Panda and Uno, which led the market with their clean engines and innovation. In the 1990s, another model, Tipo, was created, earning the title of "Car of the Year."

Today, Fiat's most popular models include the Fiat 500, Fiat Panda, Fiat Tipo, Fiat 500X, and Fiat 500L. The brand's vehicles are known for their unique design, practicality, and affordability. Their compact size and maneuverability make them ideal for city driving, while sophisticated technology and high safety standards provide maximum comfort for users.
