Fiats first factory opened in 1900 in Corso Dante and produced only 24
cars. In the first Car Tour of Italy Fiat saw 9 of there cars cross the finish
line and Fiat developed one of the first real competition cars.
Also in early
1900 Fiat expanded outside Italy and production increased: cars were flanked by
commercial vehicles, marine, engines, trucks and trams.
After World War One
there were years of transformation and crisis but as early as 1923 growth
resumed. Various car models were launched during this time including the 509
which was the first car with four seats.
Again during the Second World War the production of cars reduced, while
the construction of commercial vehicles increased considerably. After the war
plants that were destroyed during the war were reconstructed, profits and staff
began to increase.
1953 saw the creation of the first Fiat diesel engine vehicle and in
1958 production both for automobiles and farm machinery grew enormously. New
manufacturing plants were set up abroad also in this year.
1998 was the year of Fiat Seicento, ideal for city driving, and the
Multipla, characterized by flexible use and uncommon versatility. Two years
later, at the Paris Motor Show, Fiat Doblò was presented: an informal car and
also a commercial vehicle. In 2001 Fiat Stilo was launched, characterized by a
new design, with sophisticated technology and numerous deluxe options; the
following year Fiat Multipla, New Fiat Ulysse and Fiat Stilo Multi Wagon were
restyled. In 2003 the new Punto was marketed (exactly 10 years after the model
was first launched) with the innovative 1.3 Multijet 16v, and the new Barchetta
was restyled inside and out. In the autumn the new Panda made its appearance and
was immediately awarded the prize “2004 Car of the Year”.
