TIAF Cub 1.2

"Improve your mobility needs". The famous advertorial of TIAF Cub

​

/T/I/A/F/ Cub is a wallet-friendly, absolutely no-frills city car produced by Italian automotive monopoly TIAF between 1982 to 2003. As it enjoys this very long production life, approx. 6000000 pieces has made worldwide (about 45% sold for domestic and it was bestseller of Italy for 15 years, that means Cub really "improved mobility needs of Italy").

Almost unlimited amount of customization options, a very simple all cloth interior with easily removable and fully foldable seats and very easily servicable parts made Cub's way into an absolute success.

First full size prototype of Cub built in 1980. Development of Cub began in 1978 in collaboration with Carrozzeria Bonetti, the most prominent design studio of Italy.​

Over the years, as its customers' needs, Cub had many variations such as water cooled and injected 1049 and 1301, Rallye, Lusso, Van, 4x4, Diesel, Ibrido, Elettra, Automatica and more. As the production was finalized in July of 2003, Cub succeeded into its five-door second generation.
