Fiat recently presented its ultimate concept car to the international motoring press - the Ecobasic -- summarising its production approach towards recyclable, low-cost automobiles. The public, at large, will get an opportunity to see it at the Geneva Motor Show in spring next year, where Fiat will gauge people's reactions to its proposals. The Ecobasic - 'the pocket FIAT that reinvents the future', according to the company -- is the prototype of the most environment friendly car the Italian marque has ever built. Through an independent test by the German TUeV, Ecobasic has shown to produce only 76 grams of CO2 and 0.025 grams of particulates per kilometre. The car needs less than 3 litres to drive 100 km. The actual consumption registered by the German TUeV are 2.86 and 2.89 litres per 100 km. As it is today, Ecobasic emissions are well "in line with Euro 4 regulations", effective in year 2005, and ruling limits that are half of those set for the Euro 3 period starting January 1st, next year.
