Regarding specifically the Fiat Strada, which its 2nd generation is available with both the 1.4L FIRE and the 1.3L GSE/FireFly, the 1.4L is the same fitted to the European Fiorino, with the only difference besides the flexfuel tune being the heated injectors to ensure cold-start ability while running on pure ethanol.

Recently I worked on a project introducing Euro V engines into the Central and South American market. The engine is manufactured in our Brazilian plant and is currently used in the Brazilian market as well as Asia and Africa. It is the same base engine that was first used in Europe and the USA in the 1990's before it was phased out by emission regulations.

When it comes to Diesels, it's different.
