Stellantis plans to offer the Fiat Topolino, an all-electric quadricycle vehicle, in the U.S.

Stellantis

DETROIT – Chrysler parent Stellantis on Monday announced it will offer an all-electric small “car” called the Fiat Topolino in the U.S.

The automaker did not announce timing for the vehicle, but Fiat CEO Olivier François confirmed plans to bring the vehicle to the market, with “more details to come next year.”

Fiat’s announcement comes less than a week after President Donald Trump praised small “Kei” cars from Japan during a meeting at the White House with Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa and other U.S. lawmakers and automotive executives.

“They’re very small. They’re really cute,” Trump said during the Wednesday meeting. “And I said, ‘How would that do in this country?’ And everyone seems to think ‘good,’ but you’re not allowed to build them.”

Trump said he ordered U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to allow small vehicles like the Kei “micro” cars to be built and driven in the U.S. It’s not necessarily illegal to produce such cars in America, but they have to meet American safety standards, speed requirements and other regulations.

A Stellantis spokeswoman said Fiat’s announcement was unrelated to Trump’s comments last week and that the automaker has been gauging customer interest for the Topolino at U.S. events such as auto shows.

The Topolino, which translates to “little mouse” in Italian, is actually categorized as “an all-electric quadricycle” rather than a car, according to Stellantis. It has a top speed of roughly 28 miles per hour and driving range of up to 75 kilometers (less than 50 miles) on a single charge. The vehicle is produced in Morocco.

Small cars have historically not sold well in the U.S.

The most recent meaningful push to sell small cars in the U.S. occurred after the Great Recession in 2009 under the Obama administration. Back then, Italian automaker Fiat was allowed to purchase bankrupt automaker Chrysler, in part, to help bring such vehicles to the U.S.

Fiat and its small 500 city car reentered the U.S. market in 2011 amid Fiat’s takeover of Chrysler (both now owned by Stellantis).

In its first full year in 2012, Fiat sold 43,772 vehicles in the U.S. Those sales have since dwindled to roughly 1,500 Fiat vehicles sold last year in the U.S.

Donald Trump Petitions Supreme Court To Remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook

The post Donald Trump Petitions Supreme Court To Remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. U.S. President Donald Trump is forging ahead with his plan to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook, as the Justice Department has filed a petition on his behalf to allow him to remove her. This follows the FOMC meeting yesterday, in which the Fed cut rates for the first time this year, leading to a crypto market rally. Trump Petitions Supreme Court On Lisa Cook Case A court filing shows that the Justice Department, on behalf of the U.S. president, has asked the apex court to stay the preliminary injunction issued by the U.S. District Court pending appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals and any further proceedings in the Supreme Court. The Solicitor General also requested an immediate administrative stay of the preliminary injunction. The District Court had earlier issued an injunction reinstating Lisa Cook as a Fed Governor after Trump fired her over the mortgage fraud allegations, which the president described as enough cause in line with the Federal Reserve Act. Meanwhile, the Appeals Court had rejected Trump’s petition to stay this ruling just hours before the FOMC took place on Tuesday. The Fed Governor eventually took part in the Fed meeting and voted in favor of a rate cut as the committee made the first interest rate cut this year, lowering rates by 25 basis points (bps). Trump Seeking Majority Of The Fed It is worth mentioning that the U.S. president had remarked that they would soon have the majority of the Fed around the time when he first attempted to fire Lisa Cook. His attempt to remove the Fed Governor has also come amid his criticism of the Fed for its refusal to lower interest rates, although that has now changed. Despite this, the president has shown that he wants interest rates to come down drastically, which…
