Stellantis: Carrozzerie Mirafiori stop extension until 1/11
Stellantis had to communicate to the trade unions that the production of the 500 BEV at the Mirafiori bodyworks will extend the suspension of activities until November 1st. In fact, the company explains in a note, “the lack of orders persists linked to the trend of the electricity market in Europe which is deeply in difficulty, despite the fact that in the first 8 months of the year the 500e represented 40% of sales in the EV segment of city car (Segment A) in Europe”. Stellantis is working “with determination” to ensure the continuity of all its plants and activities. And he underlines in the note: “We reiterate that at the Mirafiori bodyworks, thanks to an investment of 100 million euros, production of the Fiat 500e will soon be enhanced with a new high-potential batteryintegrating new technologies to make it more accessible and improve the customer experience, but production of the New 500 Hybrid will also start at the beginning of 2026, which will be built on the basis of the current electric 500.”
The Mirafiori complex – we read further – is experiencing an important transformation, with the aim of making it a true hub of innovation and development at a global level, a crucial choice to overcome the challenge of the transition towards sustainable mobility to which we are called . A vision that envisages a process of investments in the Turin district and in the Italian automotive industry, aimed at the creation of the Mirafiori Automotive Park 2030, which includes global excellence in the production of electrified double clutch gearboxes (eDCT), the Economy Plant Circolare and the Battery Technology Center, as well as the creation of a grEEn Campus.
“As we have repeated several times – concludes the note -Stellantis is always close to his colleagues in this turbulent momentwith the aim of guaranteeing continuity and growth, confirming Italy’s role as one of the global pillars of the Group. The transition – indicated by politics and necessary for the health of the planet and people – is a complex and demanding path, which does not spare difficult choices and does not offer solutions within reach, but requires unity of purpose and vision, necessary to accompany the Company, together with all its employees, into the future”.
