– The new e-Village in the environmentally friendly “Green Pea” complex represents the comprehensive sustainability strategy of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). – All electrified vehicle models of the FCA brands are exhibited on 1.300 square meters.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has opened its first car dealership exclusively for electric and hybrid vehicles in Turin. The e-Village is located in the "Green Pea" complex, a unique architectural project with a focus on environmental technology on the site of the former Fiat Lingotto plant in the northern Italian metropolis.
"The 'Green Pea' complex is the ideal location for FCA's green jewels," commented Olivier François, President of Fiat and Chief Marketing Officer FCA. "In this innovative facility, we can show the new face of mobility. And not just with cars, but also with heart, soul and senses. e-Village should be simple and restrained, because simplicity and restraint go hand in hand with sustainability. 'Less is more' is rule number one when it comes to sustainability. But rule number two is thinking outside the box. The new e-Village will not only show the technology of our cars. It will also present innovative solutions for purchasing, renting, sharing, our new services, payment systems and new applications."
The "Green Pea" complex comprises five floors dedicated to changing people's relationship with energy, movement, housing, clothing and leisure. "Green Pea" has clearly defined geometries and follows the guiding principle of overall ecological awareness: zero impact on the environment. Three rules characterize the architectural project: reuse, recycle, reduce. The result is an innovative showcase for the mobility of the future. Many of the furnishings were made in collaboration with Stay Green, a designer and manufacturer of sustainable products "Made in Italy". Stay Green produces from recycled raw materials or reuses exhibition components that were previously used at automobile shows, for example. A highlight are large textile surfaces made from theBreath®, a revolutionary material that can significantly reduce air pollution thanks to its absorbent properties.
FCA's new e-Village is located on the ground floor of "Green Pea". In a space of over 1.300 square meters, the best technologies in the field of green thinking come together. FCA, FCA Bank/Leasys and Mopar® are jointly presenting an environmentally conscious and sustainable product range that is geared towards the well-being of the environment and the future of mobility. On display are the fully electric Fiat 500 and Fiat E-Ducato as well as the hybrid vehicles of the brands Fiat, Jeep® and - exclusively for the Italian market - Lancia. Visitors to the e-Village can also learn about the Fiat Centoventi concept car, which offers a whole range of innovative solutions, including modular batteries for a scalable range, sustainable materials and reusable plug-and-play accessories. Also on display is an Alfa Romeo Tonale concept car, which will be the brand's second SUV model to be launched in 2021 and will then also be available in a plug-and-play hybrid version. The new e-Village, organizationally part of the Mirafiori Motor Village, also offers space for accessories and merchandising items from the group's brands, as well as a conference room.
At the heart of FCA's Sustainable Mobility strategy is the reconciliation of customer needs with environmental protection. This strategy reflects the desire to address environmental issues. One of the biggest challenges in this process for all car manufacturers is the redesign of mobility as a whole. Major changes are essential and must respond to customer demands, which are constantly evolving and expect ever greater attention to the environment.
FCA is committed to creating the conditions for mobility to become more sustainable and for e-mobility to be a smart choice for customers right from the start. FCA has created a structured, environmentally friendly and economically competitive system that brings together partners, products and services across sectors. The aim is to simplify the use of electric cars and electrified vehicles. The FCA eMobility division promotes a new interpretation and experience of mobility that reconciles customer needs and concern for the environment.
The fully electric Fiat 500
The main attraction in the e-Village is the new Fiat 500, which is fully electric and is available in sedan and convertible body versions as well as the completely new 3+1 version. The new Fiat 500 is a prime example of the Italian virtues of style, tradition, innovation, craftsmanship and technology. The front of the vehicle, the face with the unmistakable headlights, contrasts with the modern, clean lines of the body and conveys a powerful, robust character. The interior continues with references to the historic predecessor, including the round instrument panel and the two-spoke steering wheel. Apart from these borrowings, the interior has been completely redesigned to improve comfort and space. The technological content and the numerous services that create a world around the new Fiat 500 are also innovative.
The new Fiat 500 is a completely new development, designed exclusively for electric drive. Clever solutions include the batteries housed in a block in the vehicle floor between the axles. This made it possible to create generous space for the interior and luggage compartment. At the same time, the low, central center of gravity has a positive effect on the driving dynamics of the Italian electric vehicle.
The result of this strategy is an agile car that is fun to drive, comfortable and quiet, and connected to the Internet even when on the move. The new Fiat 500 is a compact car suitable for use in the city, as easy to use as a smartphone. With a comparatively long range, the new Fiat 500 is the only car in this class to be able to drive autonomously at level 2, naturally with zero local emissions.
The new Fiat 500 is available in three trim levels: ACTION, PASSION and ICON, each offering specific features. All three offer a high standard in terms of technology, connectivity and safety.
Fiat 500 Hybrid and Fiat Panda Hybrid
In addition to the new Fiat Panda, the mild hybrid variants of the Fiat 500 and Fiat Panda can also be seen in the e-Village. Fiat's mild hybrid engine combines a three-cylinder petrol engine from the FireFly series, which generates 51 kW (70 hp) from a liter of displacement, with a belt starter generator (RSG), which works in the 12-volt electrical system and supports the combustion engine with an output of 3,6 kW when starting. The RSG draws its energy from a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 11 Ah. A new six-speed gearbox, which is tailored to the characteristics of the mild hybrid drive, ensures the power is transmitted to the front axle.
The hybrid system improves fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Compared to the four-cylinder petrol engine 1.2 8V with 50 kW (69 hp) from the FIRE series, CO2-Emissions are reduced by an average of 20 percent, and by up to 30 percent in the new Fiat Panda Cross. In addition, the RSG system enables the automatic start-stop system to operate much more comfortably and without vibrations than a conventional starter motor. Buyers also benefit from all the advantages of the hybrid vehicle's type approval, which, in addition to meeting the Euro 6D Final emissions standard, can also include free access and freedom of movement in the city center, cheaper parking in the city center and tax relief, depending on local regulations.
Jeep Renegade 4xe and Jeep Compass 4xe
Electrification is a fundamental aspect of Jeep's future strategy and represents the desire to become a leader in sophisticated, greener technologies, while maintaining the brand's historic values of adventure, authenticity, freedom and passion. With plug-in hybrid electric technology, Jeep Renegade 4xe and Jeep Compass 4xe offer the best performance and driving pleasure of the two ranges. Jeep Renegade 4xe and Jeep Compass 4xe are literally able to go anywhere and do anything. At the same time, they are ideal cars for everyday use in the city thanks to plug-in hybrid technology, which enables locally emission-free driving with an average range of up to 50 kilometers (measured according to the NEDC2 cycle) in fully electric mode.
The new Jeep Renegade 4xe and Jeep Compass 4xe Plug-in-Hybrid models are available in the Limited, S and Trailhawk trim levels. All variants are equipped with four-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission. There is a choice of two power levels with 140 kW (190 hp) or 177 kW (260 hp) system output. The Business trim level is also available for the Jeep Compass 4xe.
A characteristic feature of both models is the wide range of body colors. The Jeep Renegade has 18 single or two-tone variants, some in combination with a black roof, and the Jeep Compass even has 22 versions. Jeep has developed a comprehensive range of charging solutions for public and private areas around the electrified drive systems, with the easyWallbox at the center.
The Lancia Ypsilon Hybrid EcoChic
The Lancia Ypsilon is still available in Italy. The new model version Lancia Ypsilon Hybrid EcoChic, which is available in Silver and Gold trim levels, is equipped with the same mild hybrid drive as the Fiat 500 Hybrid and Fiat Panda Hybrid.
The Fiat E-Ducato
Fiat Professional, FCA's van specialists, have set themselves the goal of offering comprehensive solutions for electric mobility in the commercial sector. Based on an analysis of energy needs, these solutions not only cover every single task, but also provide answers to vehicle and infrastructure issues, as well as a whole range of everyday services that are increasingly required by new forms of mobility.
The Fiat E-Ducato is offered with modularly scalable battery sizes that ensure ranges in a typical urban delivery cycle of 200 to over 360 kilometers, depending on environmental conditions, battery type and charging configuration. In addition, the fully electric van has high performance potential. The speed is limited to 100 km/h. The power is 90 kW, the maximum torque is 280 Newton meters. The new electric motor underlines the strengths of the Fiat E-Ducato. These include the best-in-class loading volume of ten to 17 cubic meters and the best-in-class payload of up to 1.950 kilograms. In addition, the Fiat E-Ducato offers modern connectivity, for example for managing vehicle fleets.
