All important information about Fiat engines
Many Fiat engines are developed by the Group’s own partner Fiat Powertrain Technologies. In addition to diesel engines and petrol engines, Fiat models are increasingly available with hybrid drives or electric motors.
Fiat petrol engines
- Fiat FIRE engine: Fiat engines with the FIRE designation were developed as in-line four-cylinder petrol engines with a grey cast iron block and a cylinder head made of light alloy. The abbreviation of the engine series stands for Fully Integrated Robotised Engine. Fiat FIRE units can be found with different displacements in models such as the Fiat Tipo, the Fiat 124 Spider or the older Fiat 500 X.
- Fiat Turbo-Jet engine: The Fiat Turbojet engine series represents a further development of the FIRE engine. For this purpose, the Fiat engines were equipped with a turbocharger and specially adapted. The Turbojet units can be found in different variants as a sporty or more moderate engine in the Fiat Grande Punto, in the Fiat Bravo or also in Fiat commercial vehicles such as the Doblo.
- Fiat GSE engine: Fiat GSE engines are modern petrol engines with three or four cylinders in a row arrangement. The abbreviation GSE stands for Global Small Engine. The Fiat GSE engines are produced in different variants with and without turbocharger, and can be found in the Fiat 500X and Fiat Panda models, among others.
- Fiat Twin-Air engine: In the course of downsizing, Fiat introduced the Twin-Air engine. These Fiat engines with only two cylinders promise high efficiency with reduced fuel consumption. The Twin-Air engine can be found in various versions with and without turbo, for example in the Fiat 500 and 500L, as well as in the Fiat Punto and Fiat Panda.
Fiat Diesel Engines
- Fiat Multi-Jet engine: Diesel engines with the Multijet designation represent the standard for Fiat models with diesel drive. The modern engines with common rail injection and turbocharging are produced in various versions. Multi-Jet diesels can be found in the Fiat Grande Punto, the Fiat Doblo and in commercial vehicles such as the Fiat Ducato.
Fiat electric motors and hybrid drives
- Fiat Hybrid GSE Engine: Under the designation GSE Hybrid, Fiat installs engines in mild hybrid technology. Here, a small electric drive assists the GSE combustion engine to enable fuel savings. The energy for the electric assistance is generated during braking. The GSE hybrid drives can be found in the Fiat 500X Hybrid or the Fiat Tipo Hybrid.
- Fiat electric motor: Fiat is increasingly focusing on electric drive. For example, the Fiat 500 model uses purely electric drives as permanently excited three-phase synchronous machines. Depending on the model variant, drives with 70 kW or 87 kW are available.
