Fiat and British Cycling

In 2010 one of the biggest names in four-wheeled transport teamed up with one of the largest on two wheels - as Fiat became the official supplier to British Cycling, including the Great Britain Cycling and Para-Cycling Teams.

As part of the deal, which has been running for three years, Fiat Group Automobiles UK Ltd are the sole supplier of Fiat cars for British Cycling activities and programmes.

British Cycling, the internationally recognised governing body for cycling and cycle sport in the UK, and organisers of the Olympic medal-winning GB Cycling Team, have had the use of Fiat's stylish Bravo, Punto Evo, Special Edition GBT Punto, and the award-winning 500 city car.

The cars have been kept busy, as the organisation has national and regional representation, and oversees a wide variety of cycling disciplines including Road, Track, Mountain Biking, BMX, Cycle Speedway and Cycle Cross, requiring team cars and transport for event staff.

Fiat's blend of style, sportiness and environmental-friendliness fits perfectly with British Cycling's healthy, fun and competitive outlook, and this deal has presented Fiat with the opportunity to display its cars at many of British Cycling's events and activities.
