Fiat was the pioneer in the production of mild hybrids in Brazil. It started with the Pulse and Fastback and then took to other Stellantis models the engine called Mild Hybrid, or mild hybrid, with only an additional 12-volt lithium battery, which powers a small electric motor that helps the combustion engine, in addition to replacing the starter motor and alternator.

But its great advantage is to reduce fuel consumption and, consequently, emissions. But it now takes another step by launching the new generation of the Renegade produced in Goianá, Pernambuco, which is coming around, with a more powerful hybrid, additional 48-volt battery. And then you can call the new Jeep Renegade a hybrid in fact.
