Stellantis increasingly distant from Italy. He invests in England, thanks to state funds
Stellantis it went from words to deeds, the message sent to Italy and to the government Melons it's clear: without state funds we go elsewhere. The case of vans it is emblematic. The group led by Carlos Taveresin fact, chose the establishment of Lutonnot far from London to produce Vauxhall cars, a brand which in Italy is known as Opel. The start of collaboration with the United Kingdom – we read in La Verità – is already set for next year. It's about the production of medium sized electric vans. In detail, Stellantis will initially invest around £10m to upgrade the current production line of diesel-powered vehicles, but the complete conversion of the factory towards electric vehicles will depend on the outcome of the interviews with the ministers on support to finance the transition.
Stellantis – continues La Verità – he got around £30m of state support in 2021 as part of a £100m investment to transform the UK's other Ellesmere Port in a plant for the production of electric vehicles. This is Stellantis' latest push into the automotive industry British. Italy in these future production projects is increasingly on the margins. The two large factories of Pomigliano d'Arco And Mirafiori they continue to gasp. Stellantis has given yet another signal to Italy, and in the absence of state subsidies, the Italian factories are at risk.
