Fiat is turning its Panda city cars into a whole family of ‘multi-energy’ vehicles

The concepts span city cars, pickups, and SUVs.

The announcement, timed for the Geneva International Motor Show this week, follows several months of slowing EV sales growth in most markets, as automakers struggle to produce affordable models and a working charging infrastructure. Francois says the city car will be based on the Stellantis “multi-energy platform,” meaning it will be available globally and compatible with all kinds of fuel (or lack thereof). “This concept pays homage to the ‘Fun-ctionality’ of the Panda from the 80s, recalling the versatility of a car that was made for the city with the features of a SUV and the soul of a trusty companion,” the company says.
