Fiat Chrysler Automobiles on
Wednesday unveiled the first full-electric Italian car, the
Nuova 500, in Milan.
"We need help on infrastructure and also on incentives," said
Fiat Brand Manager Olivier Francois.
"You can't invest heavily in electric, as we have done, and
live in a country that is not up to (providing) electrical
mobility".
Francois said "we expect answers from the government and the
comuni.
"There is a commitment by Milan on electrification, and the
same thing in Turin".
He called the new car "an epochal novelty".
Francois said the new car would be sold in Brazil starting
next year and, "if there is demand, especially in California",
also in the US.
Luca Napoletano, EMEA chief for the Fiat brand, said that
with the new car "Fiat wants to take the leadership of the
electric market".
