They abandoned their international operations in the Mussolini era. The Italian auto brand made many advancements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, Fiat designed two new cars, the Topolino and the Tariffa Minima till 1955. Moreover, the company designed their first truck with a diesel engine which proved to be a great freight transport. That said, their mastery in diesel engines was well-known. It is a lesser-known fact that many auto manufacturers till date use diesel engines produced by Fiat automobile company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>POST WORLD WAR-II<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Fiat factories were affected by the war crisis. Moreover, the Angelli family lost ownership of the company as Vittorio Valleta became the president of the company in 1945 after Giovanni Agnelli\u2019s death. This happened because the Italian government prohibited the Angelli family from owning the company until 1963 because of their ties with former prime-minister Mussolini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Fiat factories were reconstructed and bagan its productions in 1948. That said, they were considerably successful, and their profits were remarkable as the company was re-established. In the 1950s, the economy of Italy experienced a positive period. This benefited the Italian auto manufacturer to a great extent as their sales sky-rocketed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this period, Fiat 600, the company\u2019s first rear-wheel drive was manufactured.
