Fiat, an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, is one of the world's most iconic automotive brands. Founded in 1899 in Turin, Italy, by a group of investors including Giovanni Agnelli, it became the cornerstone of Italian industrialization. Fiat is renowned for producing small, efficient city cars like the legendary 500 and the Panda, which have defined urban mobility in Europe for decades.

Today, Fiat operates as a major brand under Stellantis N.V., a global automotive giant formed in 2021 through the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the PSA Group. While its heart remains in Italy, Fiat vehicles are manufactured across the globe in facilities located in Italy, Brazil, Poland, Turkey, and Serbia to serve international markets.

The brand's ownership has evolved from a family-led Italian venture into a key pillar of a multinational corporation headquartered in the Netherlands. Despite these corporate shifts, Fiat continues to emphasize its Italian heritage through design and marketing, remaining Italy's largest car manufacturer and a significant player in the transition to electric mobility.
