Claudio Nervi, Fiat’s Feature Portfolio Planning Manager for EMEA, said, “We have believed in DAB from the beginning, and were the first OEM to introduce DAB in the Fiat 500 in 2012. Nowadays DAB is available on all the FCA range. Alpha Romeo and the latest Jeep models have DAB as standard on all trims, in all countries. This is a mark of FCA’s commitment to DAB.” Mr Nervi shared figures on the increase in the number of cars sold with DAB across several European countries – tripling in Italy since 2015. Projections up to 2025 show the penetration of embedded connectivity in new car sales will continue to rise across EU, US and China.
