Fiat Automobile

Fiat, an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, is one of the most iconic brands in automotive history. Founded in 1899 in Turin, Italy, by a group of investors including Giovanni Agnelli, it became the cornerstone of Italian industrialization. Over the decades, Fiat defined the Mediterranean motoring experience with legendary models like the Cinquecento (500).

While its soul remains deeply Italian, manufacturing is now a global operation. Fiat vehicles are produced in several countries beyond Italy, including significant operations in Poland, Turkey, Serbia, and Brazil, the latter being one of the brand's largest markets worldwide.

Today, Fiat is a core brand under the Stellantis N.V. umbrella. Stellantis was formed in 2021 through the cross-border merger of the Italian-American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the French PSA Group. As of 2026, the brand continues to transition toward electrification while maintaining its status as a leading global nameplate headquartered in the Netherlands for corporate purposes, while keeping its operational and design heart in Turin.
