Car review: Fiat Nuovo Croma

-
Image
The Nuova Croma makes its debut, the Station Wagon as Fiat sees it, a car full of innovation and substance, with new styling and a more rational range. It can boast both second generation Multijet engines and a lavish array of comfort, safety and infotainment equipment. The Nuova Croma is a benchmark for its segment, with an amazingly roomy interior, and an excellent level of ‘well-being on board’ however long your journey is, thanks to equipment worthy of a flagship that is now the standard outfit, and above all for the original ‘styling’ formula inherited from the previous model – the ‘Comfort Wagon’ concept – that makes it, once more, the roomiest car in its segment. With its even more dynamic look, the Nuova Croma immediately communicates a new approach to the car.

  Formula One is moving towards hybrid engines and renewable fuel. Major environmental progress or just ‘greenwashing’? Yasir Arafat , Edith Cowan University ; Muhammad Rizwan Azhar , Edith Cowan University , and Waqas Uzair , Edith Cowan University For the millions of fans who tune into every race, Formula One (F1) is more than just a sport – it’s the apex of aerodynamics, skill and strategy. Behind the scenes, a quieter but more crucial race against carbon emissions is unfolding. Given the sport’s substantial carbon footprint , F1 has faced criticism from society and even from its own drivers. For example, Sebastian Vettel, a four-time F1 world champion, expressed his concerns by stating : When I get out of the car, of course I’m thinking as well, ‘is this something that we should do, travel the world, wasting resources?‘ In the pursuit of speed and sustainability, F1 teams committed in 2019 to achieving a net zero emissions goal by 2030.
