Fiat Centoventi, FCA’s vision for electric, customized modular vehicles for the masses Additive Manufacturing

Debuting at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, the Fiat Centoventi Concept represents the brand’s vision of electric mass mobility in the near future. The Fiat Centoventi (Italian for ‘one hundred and twenty’) is based on Fiat’s 120 years of history and experience in the field. In keeping with the brand’s tradition, it is destined to distinguish itself from the pack just like the Fiat 500 did in the 1950s. It sparked an industrial and cultural revolution, going beyond the traditional boundaries in design and engineering to become the first real example of mobility affordable to all.
