The PUR-02 package will be available on the 500, Croma, and Bravo models. PUR-02 cars will be equipped with Bosch's Eco-Drive, which is a "Stop&Start" system. Tyres with lower rolling resistance, modified ratio gearboxes, and more slippery aerodynamic packages will also come as standard.

The Stop&Start system is a device that turns the engine off temporarily and restarts it during periods when the engine would be idling with the car at a standstill.

Together with a 1.2 litre engine under their hoods, Fiat claims a more than 10 percent decrease in fuel consumption as compared to its regular models.

The Stop&Start system was developed in conjunction with FPT – Fiat Powertrain Technologies and includes a special reinforced starter motor produced by Bosch in addition to a particularly advanced control strategy that analyses a host of engine, gearbox and climate control parameters to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while upholding the Fiat 500’s high handling and reliability standards.
