天然气燃料菲亚特TwinAir涡轮增压发动机被评为2013年度最佳绿色发动机。2013年国际发动机年度大​​奖的结果公布在6月5日在德国斯图加特发动机博览会。的全球评审团，包括一些是世界上最受人尊敬和最流行的驾乘记者选择了1.4升，875cc两缸涡轮增压CNG发动机作为绿色引擎类的赢家，从而确保压缩天然气的第一有史以来奖胜利（ CNG）技术。

菲亚特解释说，早在它的首演，TwinAir已经在“国际发动机年度大​​奖2011'胜利，赢得4个奖项：1位移类（下千立方厘米）的，2011年”最佳新引擎'，'最佳绿色发动机2011“和”2011年度奖，最高奖的竞争中，于1999年开始在英国的国际发动机。

今天双燃料发动机功率菲亚特熊猫自然功率在 2012年初推出，并，蓝旗亚地老虎衣酷适再生甲烷去年年底推出。

在替代燃料领域，菲亚特认为甲烷发动机是目前最合适的技术选择，有助于减少污染，在市区和二氧化碳排放量的限制。甲烷发动机减少如颗粒（实际上减小到零），氮氧化物和最活泼的烃导致形成其他污染物的排放量最有害的。他们还少产生23％的二氧化碳比汽油发动机。因此，菲亚特说，甲烷是“干净”的，最便宜的燃料提供的今天，这也是一个潜在的可再生能源发展生物甲烷来源。

对于超过15年，菲亚特集团一直是欧洲领先的原始设备制造商（OEM）以甲烷为燃料的车辆，其中供应双燃料（汽油/甲烷）的设计，以适应需求，提供最广泛的环保范围一个范围广泛的客户，包括货物运输的专业人士：从1997年到今天，菲亚特已经售出了超过560,000自然功率乘用车和商用车。

The natural gas fueled Fiat TwinAir Turbo engine has been voted the Best Green Engine of the Year 2013.  The results of the 2013 International Engine of the Year Awards were announced at Engine Expo in Stuttgart, Germany on June 5. The global jury, consisting of some of the world’s most respected and popular motoring journalists selected the 1.4-litre, 875cc, two-cylinder turbo CNG engine as winner of the Green Engine category, thereby securing the first ever Awards victory for compressed natural gas (CNG) technology.

Fiat explains that as early as its début, the TwinAir had already triumphed at the ‘International Engine of the Year Awards 2011′, winning 4 awards: the one for its displacement category (under 1,000 cm3), ‘Best New Engine 2011′, ‘Best Green Engine 2011′ and the ‘International Engine of the Year 2011′ award, the top award in the competition, which began in the United Kingdom in 1999.

Today the engine powers the bi-fuel Fiat Panda Natural Power launched early 2012 and the Lancia Ypsilon Ecochic Methane launched late last year.

In the field of alternative fuels, Fiat considers that methane engines are now the most appropriate technological choice for contributing to the reduction of pollution in urban areas and the limitation of CO2 emissions. Methane engines minimise the most harmful emissions such as particulate (practically reduced to zero), nitrogen oxide and the most reactive hydrocarbons which cause the formation of other pollutants. They also generate 23% less CO2 compared to petrol engines. Therefore,Fiat says, methane is the “cleanest” and cheapest fuel available today and it is also potentially a source of renewable energy thanks to the development of biomethane.

For over 15 years, the Fiat Group has been the leading European original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for methane-fuelled vehicles, the one which offers the widest eco-friendly range with bi-fuel supply (methane/petrol) designed to accommodate the needs of a broad-ranging clientele, including goods transport professionals: between 1997 and today, Fiat has sold over 560,000 Natural Power cars and commercial vehicles.
