Fiat Ferroviaria was the railway rolling stock division of the Italian automobile group Fiat. Its origins go back to 1880 and the Società Nazionale Officine di Savigliano. It began building locomotives in the 1930s, became part of Fiat in 1970, and in 1995 took over the rail business of SIG of Switzerland to form the subsidiary Fiat-Sig. It also owned the Argentine company Materfer until 1998. In June 2000 Alstom bought a 51 percent shareholding, and the business was later renamed Alstom Ferroviaria. Fiat Ferroviaria is best known for developing active tilting technology in the 1960s and 1970s and for the Pendolino family of tilting trains, which began in Italy with the ETR 450 and whose technology spread to Germany, Finland, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Slovenia and the Czech Republic.
