For some time the Italian government has opened the door to new car manufacturers with the ultimate goal of increasing domestic vehicle production. And one of these could be the group Dongfeng: it seems in fact that the Chinese giant is leading the first talks with the Italian government for the production of cars in Italy.
Over 100,000 vehicles per year
The indiscretion was relaunched by Bloomberg, according to which the Dongfeng group is evaluating the capacity to produce more than 100,000 vehicles per year in our country. The first official comments on the issue came from Qian Xie, head of the Chinese group's European business: “Italy is one of the largest automotive markets in Europe and for a Chinese car manufacturer having local production also means be able to distribute better in all other countries in the area”his words reported by Ansa.
Tavares just a few days ago
Carlos will certainly not be satisfied with these indiscretions TavaresCEO of Stellantis, who on the occasion of the inauguration of the new eDCT Plant in Mirafiori had veiledly criticized the Italian government's choice to open the doors to other manufacturers, particularly Chinese: “I don't feel like giving advice to political leaders, I deal with industry and cars, but recognizing that Fiat is at the center of Italy would be responsible as well as ethical. Rather than letting competitors enter Italy who can put us in difficulty, it would be preferable to help us overcome our difficulties. So why further damage Italian factories by introducing new obstacles? It's a logic I don't understand. The Italian government should help its citizens, and many of these work in Stellantis factories. This is why I think that welcoming Chinese producers means introducing a very dangerous element of competition.”
