Fiat 500: in 2020 also in mild-hybrid version
https://www.gazzetta.it/Motori/
In addition to the electric version expected at the Geneva Motor Show, the Fiat 500 will also be available with a 12 Volt Mhev system.

In the year that is about to begin, a new and very important chapter will be written in a story that began in 1957 and was relaunched in 2007: the Fiat 500 embraces electrification, not only with the zero-emission version expected at the Geneva Motor Show, but also with the an equally original mild-hybrid version. The Fiat 500 hybrid will be equipped with a system consisting of the 10 Firefly three-cylinder injected 1.0 Cv engine and a small belt-driven electric motor. Not surprisingly, the acronym used to indicate the 12 V. technology adopted is BSG, Belt-driven Starter Generator. This is the simplest architecture of the mild-hybrid system, in which the electric motor replaces the alternator and the starter motor. The 500 hybrid earns the Start & Stop device, but above all gains in efficiency, given the accredited 25.6 km / liter and the 90 g / km of CO2 that allow it to fall within the limits on emissions. The hybrid system, in fact, fills the void left by the announced goodbye to the 95 HP 1.3 Multijet Diesel engine. The hybrid drive will be available for all versions and for the convertible version. In France, according to the dealer's brochure published on Twitter by Italpassions, the price starts at € 14,999. At the moment prices for Italy have not been announced. Not only FIAT 500 - 12 V mild-hybrid technology will also be extended to other models of the FCA Group such as the Fiat Panda and Lancia Ypsilon by 2020. For 2021, the debut of the mild-hybrid 48 V system on Fiat is expected instead 500X and Fiat Tipo.
