Company profile:
Fiat India is completely managed by Fiat Auto SpA of Italy. Giovanni Agnelli founded Fiat SpA in 1899. In India, the company was established in 1905, with the appointment of Bombay Motor Cars Agency as its sales agent.
Later Fiat Automobiles signed a licence and servicing contract with Premier Automobiles Ltd, paving the way for manufacturing and selling of 1100 and 1100D Fiat Padmini cars.
Later the company introduced the Uno — Europe’s favourite car for the last two decades - into India. The Fiat 178 World Car Project has been developed specifically to expand production in overseas markets. This project includes international-class cars like the Siena sedan, the Siena Weekend station wagon and the Palio hatchback.
Fiat has achieved a high level of localisation for all its cars, and is making world-class cars available in India at even more competitive and affordable prices. Fiat Automobiles SpA owns the most-admired and sought-after models worldwide, including the Fiat Lancia, the Ferrari, the Maserati and the Alfa Romeo.
Fiat is the only automobile manufacturer in the world that has won the coveted European Car of the Year award nine times. It is also the only company in the world that manufacturers recyclable cars.
In the pipeline are ambitious plans to make India its operational hub in Asia in the future and invest US $1 billion here in the coming years.
