| | The Fiat story |
 | | In 1966, Giovanni Agnelli, the founder’s grandson, became Chairman of the Company and initiated a series of projects to reinforce its international presence. |
 | | In fact, in that very year, Fiat signed an agreement with the USSR to construct the VAZ automotive complex in Togliattigrad, designed to manufacture 2,000 model 124s a day. |
 | | During this period, owing in part to the oil crisis of the 70’s, the emphasis was on product and process innovation, which would lead, with the aid of increasingly high levels of automation, to a new method of car-making. |
