The definition of a city car is satisfied only if it has almost nil of those harmful emissions. The Fiat 500 qualifies as a perfect city car- It’s compact, it has a small turning circle radius, it has swift acceleration coupled to start-stop system for better fuel economy. But is it a low, or let me put it better- a “no” emissions car?
Not quite.
But eco-friendly Sweden, where the Indica Vista EV will go through a demonstration program, urges to make the change. Fiat, Alelion Batteries and Autoadapt AB, former a L-Ion battery supplier and the latter a Swedish company known for building innovative vehicles, will tie-up and manufacture an electric powertrain for the Fiat 500. The engine, exhaust system and fuel tank are done away with in the whole process.
