Important Update: New Homologation Rules for Fiat & Abarth 500e in GB and Northern Ireland

Starting from February 2025, important changes will affect customers purchasing the Fiat & Abarth 500e in Great Britain (GB) and Northern Ireland. These changes are the result of new homologation regulations introduced due to Brexit, and will impact how vehicles are labeled and ordered.

What You Need to Know:

1. New Vehicle Labels: Vehicles sold in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) will have a new identifying label, which differs from the labels used in other right-hand-drive European countries. Northern Ireland will continue using the current European label.

2. New Ordering Process: When purchasing a Fiat or Abarth 500e, customers will need to ensure that the correct option is selected based on their location:

   • Option CCU: For customers in Northern Ireland.
   • Option YEP: For customers in Great Britain.

   These options are priced at £0, and both will be available starting from February 6, 2025.

3. Why It Matters: Choosing the correct option is important to ensure that your vehicle complies with the new regulations. Orders with the wrong option cannot be transferred between GB and Northern Ireland. However, if the option is not selected, it means the order was placed before the new rules, and the vehicle can still be sold in both GB and Northern Ireland without time restrictions.

 If you are planning to place an order for a Fiat or Abarth 500e, please ensure that the appropriate option (CCU or YEP) is selected based on whether you're in Northern Ireland or Great Britain. This update takes effect for all new orders placed after February 6, 2025.
