Founded in 1899 in Italy, Fiat quickly became a pioneer in European car manufacturing. Known for practical, affordable vehicles like the Fiat 500, it played a major role in motorizing post-war Europe. Fiat expanded globally and merged with Chrysler in 2009, forming Stellantis, one of the world’s largest automakers today.
