AutoExec Summary
Italian automaker Fiat is considering adapting the electric-only Fiat 500e to accept an internal combustion engine due to compliance issues and flatlining sales. The company is looking at re-engineering the 500e to work with a mild-hybrid petrol drivetrain, with potential production boost at the Mirafiori plant. However, the new model won’t be available until late 2025 or early 2026, leaving a gap in the lineup for about a year. Fiat has extended the petrol 500’s production run and will move the production line to Algeria. The Panda, with a lower price, outsold the petrol 500 in 2023.
Brands mentioned: Stellantis, Fiat, Dodge, Panda.
