FCA intends to phase out diesel-powered cars from the Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Jeep and Maserati brands by 2022. According to a report by the Financial Times FCA will make the announcement in June under a mid-term plan. The company hasn’t said whether this would include diesel-only models like its pick-up truck, or its four vans. Every FCA brand, apart from Abarth, has at least one diesel model in its line-up. The move has seen support from environmental groups such as Greenpeace.
Fiat Chrysler's international diesel passenger car line-up consists of:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
Alfa Romeo Giulietta
Alfa Romeo Mito
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Fiat 500
Fiat 500L
Fiat 500X
Fiat Doblo
Fiat Fullback
Fiat Panda
Fiat Qubo
Fiat Tipo
Jeep Cherokee
Jeep Compass
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Jeep Renegade
Jeep Wrangler
Maserati Ghibli
Maserati Levante
Maserati Quattroporte
In India, Fiat makes the popular 1.3-litre diesel engine that’s used a lot by Maruti Suzuki and it even makes the 2.0-litre diesel unit that sits in the Compass. The 1.3-litre Multijet will be discontinued come 2020 and Fiat doesn’t intend to upgrade it to meet BS-VI norms.
