There's something in the air. Or rather, there's less of
something in the air. There's less carbon dioxide (CO2) to be
exact in the European air and there will be less of it in the
U.S. and Canada thanks to Fiat. In 2010 -- the fourth straight
year -- Fiat brand automobiles recorded the lowest level of CO2
emissions for vehicles sold in Europe. Fiat had an average
measurement of 123.1 grams of C02 per kilometer - a drop of 4.7
(g/km) from the previous year. Fiat Automobile Group also ranked
first with a rating of 125.9 g/km. Over the past four years,
Fiat brand has reduced its C02 emissions an average of 10% from
137.3 to 123.1 - a full four years ahead of the European Union
target set for 130 g/km by 2015. And, some of that emissions-
reducing technology is now in the U.S. and Canada via the Fiat
500. The new Fiat 500 marks the introduction of Fiat Multiair
fuel delivery system to North America. Standard on the 1.4-liter
engine in the Fiat 500, Multiair increase fuel economy by up to
10% and reduces emissions
