Interesting & Amazing Information
On Origin & Background Of Fiat The sturdy progress of Fiat as a successful automobile company led to its expansion.
The company witnessed an augmentation in its product lineup which included trucks, trams, marine engines and commercial vehicles.
Few years down the line, Fiat completely renovated its production, with the cars being loaded with electrical accumulators for the first time.
By 1910, Fiat became the largest automobile company in Italy, a position which it has retained since then.
In the same year, a plant licensed to produce Fiats in Poughkeepsie, NY, made its first car.
Owning a Fiat was during that time deemed to be as a sign of superiority and distinction amongst people.
In 1916, under the supervision of Giacomo Matte Trucco, the construction of Lingotto started.
This factory was the largest in Europe and was spread across 5 floors.
The construction was completed in 1922, during which time the company expanded its arena of interest to steel industry, railways, electricity and public transportation lines.
With the commencement of the war, the company’s production focused mainly on the army requirements.
