Tavares against fake news

Stellantis in Italy
Still on the subject of Italy, Tavares recalled that for each plant it manages in our country Stellantis has a very clear plan: “Right now Italy is the only country in the world in which we invested in two native BEV mule-energy platforms in Melfi and Cassino. We then decided to create a Gigafactory in Termoli to produce battery cells, we will bring two new vehicles to Melfi in 2025 and another two in 2026, a huge workload to launch four new vehicles in the same plant. Furthermore, Panda will remain in Pomigliano until 2030. We have decided to relaunch the Lancia brand and renew the Alfa Romeo business model.”
News for Fiat 500e
Finally, the issue of the Italian-French group announced an important product innovation: “I'll give you some news: many promises have been made in Italy on incentives that have not yet been kept. This is why we decided to invest over 100 million euros to introduce a new battery for our iconic 500e that will break a paradigm: it will guarantee more kilometers of autonomy, with a significant reduction in costs. It will take 18-24 months to build, for us it is an excellent way to make electric mobility more accessible, and we are also developing a series of technological solutions that lead to a decrease in sales prices.”
