Stellantis to assemble 10% fewer vehicles in Italy this year
Summary
Stellantis is projected to assemble about 10% fewer vehicles in Italy this year than previously anticipated, according to the Fim-Cisl labor union. This decrease comes amid ongoing supply and demand pressures, as component shortages and lower-than-expected orders have led to production halts and temporary layoffs at key facilities. Despite a recovery in Italian output following a significant decline in 2025, the union is advocating for more clarity on Stellantis’ long-term plans for its plants, particularly in Cassino and Mirafiori, to ensure job stability.
