Fiat boss backs Multiplay electric MPV concept for production within two to three years
New Fiat chief Arnaud Belloni has described the Multiplay concept, a radical MPV and pick up hybrid shown at the Paris motor show, as 'absolutely meaningful' and confirmed a family car based on it could reach production in two to three years 'if we are fast.' The model would compete with electric people carriers such as the Kia PV5 and Volkswagen ID Buzz, drawing on the legacy of the 1998 Multipla.
Why it matters
A new electric family vehicle from Fiat would expand the European EV market segment that charging networks serve, potentially driving demand for high power charging at family oriented destinations and along holiday corridors across Italy and wider Europe.
Fiat Topolino electric quadricycle wins TIME Best Inventions 2026 design award
Fiat's Topolino, a two seat electric quadricycle priced from £8,995, has been named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2026 in the Design category. The vehicle became Europe's best selling electric quadricycle in 2025 and has maintained that position through 2026, with particularly strong sales in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland. It has been the top seller in France since July 2026, competing against the Citroen Ami which shares its underpinnings and is priced at £7,695.
Why it matters
The award and sales performance signal growing commercial acceptance of ultra low cost electric micromobility as a viable urban transport category, potentially opening procurement opportunities for city car sharing schemes and last mile delivery fleets seeking sub £9,000 electric options.
