Turin, January 17, 2008 -- The history of Pirelli Cinturato tyres is an integral part of the history of Italian motoring and of Fiat Group brands: from Fangio’s Ferraris to Lancia flagships, a huge number of models have left Fiat plants fitted out with Pirelli tyres. Recent Fiat Group Automobiles car models that mount Pirelli tyres as first equipment include the Fiat Bravo, the Fiat 500 (in the larger size) and the Alfa 159, while the light commercial vehicles include the new Ducato. We should also point out that it is Fiat Group Automobiles policy to extend use of the new “green” tyres, to help reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
