Fiat Automóveis were present this month at Reatech 2007, the largest event to be held in Latin America which showcase products and innovations designed for those with impaired mobility. Fiat arrived with a full model line-up from their Autonomy Programme led out by the new Palio, all arrayed on a stand of 184 sq. metres an area designed to welcome the public in an involving way, to be able to appreciate the models offered, and clearly demonstrate the most recent results of its continuous pledge to become more and more closer to the demands of this category of consumer.

 

The fifth edition of the International Fair of Technologies in Rehabilitation and Inclusion, Reatech 2007, took place from 12th to 15th April, in the “Centro de Exposições Imigrantes” in the city of São Paulo. The Fiat models on display on the stand - all of which had been adapted to the requirements of drivers with special needs - were: the New Palio ELX 1.4, the sporty New Palio 1.8R, the Ducato Maxi and finally the Doblò ELX 1.8.

 

Meanwhile, in the Fiat test drive area the show's visitors were able to evaluate the enhanced performance and characteristics of the Idea HLX 1.8, Idea ELX 1.4, New Palio ELX 1.4 and Doblò Adventure 1.8. All these vehicles were adapted by Fiat Automóveis’ partners in the Autonomy Programme: Cavenaghi, Simplex Guido and Technobrás.

 

The Fiat Automóveis Autonomy initiative is the Brazilian division of the program created in 1996 which aims to create the optimum access for drivers with special needs to the appropriate car for their requirements.
