Fiat-Chrysler Concepts by IED

Turin-based IED has presented the results of a project developed in partnership with Fiat Styling Center. The second year students were asked to create cars that would combine the core values of the Fiat and Chrysler brands.

The Biov Concept by Roberto Testolin is an eco-friendly A-segment vehicle aimed at the reduction of production costs and targeted to young customers.

The Jeep PYGMY by Vasiliy Kurkov is based on the Fiat Panda Cross 4x4 platform and features an European style deeply influenced by the off-road American spirit and culture.
