The automaker registered an average figure of 123.5 grams CO2 per km (attested by automotive adviser JATO) and comes after similar results registered in the past few years.
The top ten of the co brands was completed by Toyota (128.0 g/km), Peugeot (132.3 g/km), Citroen (133.4 g/km), Renault (134.6 g/km), Ford (137.0 g/km), Opel/Vauxhall (141.0 g/km), Volkswagen (142.2 g/km), Audi (154.2 g/km) and BMW (154.5 g/km).
“This important outcome is one of three exceptional results recorded in the model and group rankings. Although all the 20 best-selling models in Europe reduced their emissions in the first half of 2010, no fewer than three Fiat vehicles are ranked in high positions: the Fiat 500 is first with 116.0 g/km of CO2, the Fiat Panda comes second (118.9 g/km) and the Fiat Punto is in fourth place (123.5 g/km),” stated the press release.
The European authorities have set a goal of 130 g CO2 per km for 2015 and Fiat has already managed to achieve this.
“These ecological achievements are the result of a long-term strategy based on a two-pronged approach: implementing technological solutions aimed at containing consumption and emissions, and raising the awareness of motorists to encourage a more responsible, eco-compatible use of their cars,” stated the press release.
