01 / THE STORY

History & context

Fioravanti Thalia: At the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, Fioravanti presented the Thalìa, a hybrid MPV concept mainly focused on saving fuel consumption and emissions, thanks to dual fuel systems (petrol and hydrogen) and multiple aerodynamic and component features. The concept, 4.675 meters long and 1.44 meters high, offers (with a width of 1.88 meters and a wheelbase of 2.9.) A vast versatility of the interior space and large load capacities, thanks to the trunk developed in height. The rear seats are raised compared to the front ones, making room for the hydrogen cylinders; being therefore higher than the driver and passenger seats, the car is equipped with a second windshield connected to the roof of the car, allowing rear passengers to have a full view of the road. In addition to the hybrid solution, the Fioravanti Thalia is mainly geared towards combating fuel consumption thanks to a sophisticated aerodynamic solution that has led to the abolition of rear-view mirrors (replaced by cameras) and to an unprecedented front optical group characterized by a single lighting system that self-regulates the intensity depending on use. The rear of the car has been designed to integrate within a single element, the reversing light, the rear fog lights and the rear window wiper which integrates the boot lever inside.
