Fiat 500 hybrid advancement for 2011
The presentation of Aria Concept in Geneva was not only an exercise in design and "economy", but that was the starting point towards a true hybrid Fiat 500. The target date for the arrival of the same would be set around the year 2011, with characteristics very close to the concept but that further reduce their consumption and pollutant emissions in the face of the new European regulation of pollution that will operate in 2012.

The hybrid system that propelled the 500 would consist of a gasoline engine two-cylinder and 900 cc, whose initial power would be 65 hp turbo and could count on to reach the 105 hp. This block, which weigh around 20% that the smaller four-cylinder engines, would work closely with an electric generator coupled with a series of batteries, within what we know as conventional hybrid.
Accompanying the performance thereof, according to the Stop & Start off and start fast engine or a gearbox dual clutch might be present in the path of fuel economy. The result would be higher than the prototype, with an estimate of about 90 g / km CO2 emission and consumption in some measure combined 2.9 litres per 100 km.
This is the way in the short term, of course. The hybridization to achieve levels of spending fuel very small. However, it should be taken as an intermediate step towards the liberation of dependence as oil, rather than as a solution of continuity as there are solutions such as electricity, which should take over.
If there is any customer who owns a Fiat 500 and would like to reduce their consumption to a minimum, always has the option to go to Nice and to make a conversion to electric propulsion. There is no color with benefits or autonomy, but see recompesado his pocket. After paying the conversion.
