Fiat Eco:Drive coming to Qubo in the UK

Fiat's USB- and website-based eco:Drive driver education system (hey, it's award-winning, too) is coming to the Qubo mini-MPV in the UK. Eco:Drive tracks driver actions, routes taken and other information and then suggests ways to drive better (read: more efficiently) in the future. Read more on the system here.
The Qubo starts at £9,755 and tops out at £12,350. There are two engine options: a 1.3-litre MultiJet turbodiesel that spews just 119 grams of CO2 per kilometer and a 1.4-litre petrol engine. Eco:Drive is also available in the 500, the 500C, the Grande Punto and the Bravo. We're glad to see things like eco:Drive come to more vehicles, but we'll be even more thrilled to hear when the whole thing goes wireless. Carrying that USB stick around has got to get old fast.

This is an earnest drive by Fiat for the environment. But in India the cars from
Fiat are gas guzzlers. The Eco:Drive Fiat 500, Linea and Punto should be introduced in India. The Indian car market is the second fastest growing one in the world.
