Stellantis has confirmed that the new Lancia Gamma will be produced, starting in 2026, at the historic Stellantis plant in Melfi, selected for its production excellence.
Lancia’s return to this facility where the second generation of the Ypsilon was previously produced between 1995 and 2003. This plant, recognized as one of the Company’s centers of excellence, was chosen for its high production quality and its strategic role in the transition towards electric mobility.
«The new Lancia Gamma represents a milestone in our journey towards the future. It embodies our brand’s commitment to sustainability and high performance, while celebrating the unmistakable elegance that has defined Lancia for decades. By producing it at the historic Melfi plant, we strengthen our connection to Italy’s rich automotive heritage and advance our vision of an electrified future.” “Gamma will showcase the best of what Lancia represents: innovation, style and a relentless pursuit of excellence,” said Luca Napolitano, CEO of Lancia.
Opened in 1994, the Melfi plant has long been a key player in global automobile production and is currently responsible for producing the Jeep Compass and Jeep Renegade. With its highly automated production processes and a strong focus on sustainability, the plant will continue to play a critical role in Stellantis’ electrification strategy.
This announcement is part of Lancia’s broader revival strategy, which includes returning to Europe with a network of more than 70 dealers in six countries, including France, Belgium and Spain.
First models of the new Lancia, for street and competition
This announcement was made during the Rally 4 presentation event at Balocco, where Lancia not only announced the launch of the Ypsilon Rally4 HF, but also the rebirth of the iconic Lancia Corse division.
The Melfi plant, located in Basilicata, is a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and technological innovation. For years, Melfi has been a cornerstone of national and international automotive production, combining Italian craftsmanship with the most advanced manufacturing technologies. The Lancia Gamma will be manufactured in 2026 in the STLA multi-energy environment, reaffirming Lancia’s commitment to driving the transformation towards sustainable and premium mobility.
The decision to produce the new Gamma in Melfi reflects Stellantis’ commitment to promoting products made in Italy. This decision not only reinforces Lancia’s connection with its Italian roots, but also underlines the importance of investing in local territories to create innovative and cutting-edge products.
The new Lancia Gamma represents another step forward in the rebirth of the brand, after the success of the new Ypsilon, manufactured in this case in Spain.
