Fiat's new TwinAir engine is no flash-in-the-pan, sudden stroke of genius. Over the years, Fiat has been at the forefront of new engine technology, developing innovations that many other manufacturers have subsequently adopted.
1985: Fiat introduces its Fully Integrated and Robotized Engine (FIRE). Still in production today, its success speaks for itself.
1987: Fiat launches the world's first direct injection diesel engine for cars in the Fiat Croma.
1997: The world's first Common Rail, direct injection Unijet diesel engine - Now in all diesel cars!
2003: UniJet gives way to MultiJet fuel injection, which means up to 5 injections per fuel cycle.
2009: MultiJet II technology delivers 8 fuel injections instead of 5 for even better fuel consumption, lower emissions, smoothness and refinement.
2009: MultiAir technology, with it's revolutionary electro-hydraulic valve control system. It wins 'Technobest 2009' and 'Best New Engine' in the International Engine of the Year Awards.
2010: Now TwinAir, the world's first two-cylinder, turbocharged MultiAir engine. It delivers class leading fuel economy and CO2 emissions along with the kind of performance, refinement and fun that drivers expect from a conventional 4 cylinder petrol engine.
Fiat's credentials for producing inspirational engines are second to none. TwinAir now continues it's traditions of radical thinking and groundbreaking engineering
