Dal 1º febbraio 2007 fa parte, insieme ai marchi Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Abarth e Fiat Professional, di Fiat Group Automobiles (abbreviato in FGA) che rappresenta una delle diramazioni del gruppo industriale Fiat SpA. Storia e direzione aziendale L'azienda nacque dalla comune volontà di una decina tra aristocratici, possidenti, imprenditori e professionisti torinesi di impiantare una fabbrica per la produzione di automobili. L'idea di produrre automobili su scala industriale era venuta agli amici Emanuele Cacherano di Bricherasio e Cesare Goria Gatti (già fondatori dell'ACI Automobile Club d'Italia) che avevano precedentemente costituito e finanziato la "Accomandita Ceirano & C.", finalizzata alla costruzione della "Welleyes", un'automobile progettata dall'ing. Aristide Faccioli e costruita artigianalmente da Giovanni Battista Ceirano. Visto il successo ottenuto dalla "Welleyes" alla sua presentazione, Bricherasio e Gatti proposero ad un gruppo di conoscenti di acquisire le esperienze, le maestranze e la competenza della "Accomandita Ceirano & C." per trasferirle su scala industriale, come già avveniva nella fabbriche dell'Europa settentrionale.

  • Between Business Interests and Ideological Marketing the USSR and the Cold War in Fiat Corporate Strategy, 1957–1972
    Between Business Interests and Ideological Marketing The USSR and the Cold War in Fiat Corporate Strategy, 1957–1972 ✣ Valentina Fava On 15 August 1966, the Fiat automotive company signed an agreement in Moscow with the Soviet government regarding the construction of the Volga Automobile Factory (VAZ) to manufacture Fiat cars. The plant began oper- ations in September 1970—one year later than originally planned—and was a highly automated facility that was able to produce 660,000 Fiat 124s per annum.1 More than half a century later, the image of Italian-Soviet partnership in building the giant automobile plant still arouses emotions and curiosity, as demonstrated by documentaries and preparations for the fiftieth anniversary 1. The model’s body and engine were modified to be better suited for Soviet roads and climatic condi- tions. The total cost of constructing the plant was estimated at $642 million in February 1966: $247 million (39 percent) was to be spent in Italy, about $55 million (8 percent) was to be spent in the United States, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, and West Germany (but this percentage grew to such an extent that $50 million alone was expected to be spent in the United States), and $340 million (53 percent) was to be spent (it never was) on building plants or equipment in member-states of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance. This estimate included neither consultancy fees for the technical designs of the factory and the car nor the transfer of know-how and assistance methods, nor did it budget for purchasing special materials or paying third parties’ commissions for patents or additional know-how.

  • Im Werk Mirafiori Begegnen Sich Historie Und Zukunft Wo Ab 1957
    Im Werk Mirafiori begegnen sich Historie und Zukunft Wo ab 1957 der „Nuova Cinquecento“ vom Band lief, wird heute der vollelektrische Fiat 500 gebaut. 1939 eröffnetes Werk in Turin wird komplett auf Elektromobilität umgestellt. Pilotprojekt zur Vehicle-to-Grid-Technologie. Auch der Heritage Hub, die Abteilung für die Oldtimer der italienischen Konzernmarken, ist auf dem Gelände des Werks Mirafiori beheimatet. Der neue Fiat 500 wird im Werk Mirafiori im gleichnamigen Stadtteil von Turin gefertigt. Das vollelektrisch angetriebene Fahrzeug, das mit unverwechselbar italienischem Stil, Technologie und Innovation die Mobilität von morgen revolutioniert, wird damit genau dort gefertigt, wo ab 1957 die erste Generation des Fiat 500 vom Band rollte. Die gesamten Investitionen in Design, Entwicklung und Produktionsablagen für den neuen Fiat 500 betrugen mehr als 700 Millionen Euro. Die 1939 eröffnete Fabrik schlägt aber nicht nur mit der Produktion des neuen Fiat 500 eine symbolische Brücke zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft, sondern auch mit weiteren innovativen Projekten rund um Elektromobilität. So wurden innerhalb des Komplexes eine Pilotanlage zur Vehicle-to-Grid-Technologie (V2G) realisiert, ein eigenes Montagewerk für Batterien errichtet und eine große Solarstromanlage mit Photovoltaik-Paneelen in Betrieb genommen. Neu errichtete Produktion für den Fiat 500 Design und Technologie des vollelektrisch angetriebenen Fiat 500 erforderten den Aufbau einer völlig neu konzipierten Produktion.

Al fine di consentire una facile comprensione dei fatti e degli argomenti trattati, il lavoro sarà suddiviso in tre parti: una prima parte in cui verrà presentata la singola storia di entrambe le case automobilistiche, prestando particolare attenzione ai punti salienti che caratterizzano la vita di un'impresa, quindi il settore, o i settori in cui essa opera, i prodotti e le innovazioni tecnologiche ad essi inerenti, le scelte strategiche e politiche di diversificazione o di espansione all'estero e i personaggi che hanno assunto nel corso del tempo un ruolo importante riguardo alle sorti dell'azienda. La seconda parte dell'elaborato sarà invece dedicata al tema della diversificazione, dove, con questo termine si intende “il processo per cui un'impresa caratterizzata da un particolare tipo di attività produttiva avvia attività economiche diverse da quelle tradizionali, pur mantenendo la propria presenza nell'ambito originale”.

  • The Fiat 500: an Icon of Our Time
    Contact: Ariel Gavilan The Fiat 500: An Icon of Our Time June 6, 2010, Auburn Hills, Mich. - Some cars go down in history for their technological or stylistic innovations. Others deserve to be remembered for the role they have played in the daily life of an entire generation or an entire country. Few succeed in combining the two: technology and sentiment. They leave an indelible mark, becoming a sort of icon of their age. The 500 from Fiat was one of these. In a career lasting 18 years, from 1957 to 1975, exactly 3,893,294 examples of the original Fiat 500 were built, and it helped Italians and numerous other Europeans to satisfy the need for individual mobility that began to gain momentum from the early 1950s. The Nuova 500, even more than the larger 600 (introduced in 1955), also brought the end of the post-war emergency period and the start of the striving for comfort, and for economic recovery. With the Fiat Nuova 500, the country of the 'Poor but beautiful' became, or tried to be, not quite as poor. To a certain extent, it succeeded, but, above all, the people were able to move around more freely. The Nuova 500 also concluded the rebirth of Fiat and of its product range, after the devastation of the Second World War. The Fiat Nuova 500 was not just a brilliant idea by Dante Giacosa, like the 600 and the many other cars he designed. Nor was it just a model of which millions were made, which got the mission and contents just right, to fall in with the company’s programs at the time.

Ringrazio, dunque, mia sorella, ormai sempre più donna e meno bambina, capace di essere la mia voce fuori dal coro in ogni istante di questo percorso. E ringrazio mio padre, uomo che mi ha insegnato la vita, sempre più presente in ogni giorno della sua assenza. Un particolare ringraziamento va al mio relatore, il Professore Matteo Caroli, il quale si è mostrato sempre criticamente e costruttivamente presente nella stesura dell’elaborato, insieme alla Dottoressa Claudia Pongelli. Questo lavoro va poi a me stesso, a chi ero tre anni fa e a chi sono oggi, a chi diventerò e a chi, con ogni probabilità, non diventerò. Per ultimo dedico questo lavoro a chiunque, a suo modo, sia stato al mio fianco, a chi è tutt’oggi punto fermo della mia esistenza e a chi, pur contro voglia, è andato via troppo presto, ma son certo non mi abbandonerà mai. 3 INDICE INTRODUZIONE ............................................................................................................................................ 8 CAPITOLO I ................................................................................................................................................. 10 Il settore automobilistico e la gestione strategica ........................................................................................ 10 1.1 Il mercato dell’automobile: trend e prospettive future ...................................................................
