Stellantis, what will change for Mirafiori, Cassino, Pomigliano, Melfi and Modena
Tavares' announcements for the Stellantis factories in Italy seen by the general secretary of the Fim-Cisl , Ferdinando Uliano
In yesterday's meeting in Turin, the CEO of Stellantis, Carlos Tavares, illustrated to us a series of concrete and positive responses on investments and models, which we have been calling for for some time, in order to secure the Italian factories, to safeguard productive missions and employment.
The objective of 1 million vehicles, adopted in the discussion tables at Mimit, is an objective that the group sets itself which determines a 40% increase in current production, but Carlos Tavares has specified the aspects needed to achieve this objective aspects relating to the cost of energy and the continuity of incentives on demand are also needed. It therefore becomes essential for us to complete the development agreement for the automotive sector at Palazzo Chigi.
THE FIAT 500 HYBRID IN MIRAFIORI
Specifically, the Fiat 500 in a new hybrid version has finally been assigned to the Mirafiori plant, a mass-consumption car, which adds to the current production of full electric Fiat 500s and the two new Maserati GT and GC, also in versions thermal and full electric. The production launch of the hybrid Fiat 500 is expected at the beginning of 2026, we have requested that production be brought forward by the end of 2025. This is an important result that we intend as trade unions, given the many pressures, initiatives and demonstrations that we have put forward in the field to preserve Mirafiori's production mission.
NEWS FOR THE CASSINO PLANT
For the Cassino plant, production on the new Large platform will start in autumn 2025 with the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio and subsequently the new Alfa Romeo Giulia in early 2026. These new versions will join the Maserati Grecale which for a few months has also been produced in the full electric Folgore version. A possible new model on a large platform will be put into production from 2027.
The car assignments in Cassino are positive, we have asked to speed up the times to limit the current use of social safety nets.
THE “PANDINA” PROJECT IN POMIGLIANO D'ARCO
For the Pomigliano d'Arco plant, the CEO informed us that the "Pandina" project will continue until the end of 2029 and will continue beyond if there are no EU restrictions. With the production of Tonale, Dodge and Panda the plant will have full saturation in terms of volumes.
STELLANTIS' PLANS FOR MELFI, MODENA AND ATESSA
For Melfi they communicated that over 2 years and precisely by 2026, 5 models will be produced on the new Stla medium platform. In 2025, the first car will launch in the 1st quarter, followed by a Jeep model, a Ds, a Lancia and also the Jeep Compass in the Hybrid version.
For the Modena plant, the launch of the MC20 in the full electric version in 2025 and the investments planned for the project called "Fuoriserie", a new painting department, for the customization of all Maserati cars are confirmed.
For the Atessa plant, the Stellantis group's leadership in the production of commercial vehicles was reaffirmed. In addition to the development and growth of full electric production, the new generation of large vans will be developed.
THE AUTO SECTOR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
It now becomes necessary to continue the discussion in the presence of the Government, completing the work done in the discussion tables at the ministerial level, which is why we ask for a meeting at Palazzo Chigi as soon as possible to concretely complete the development agreement for the automotive sector, also of those parts that are still missing and that need to be improved, starting from the guarantees for related industries and components and the incentives relating to the reindustrialization process that the sector needs, with respect to the ongoing transition.
Furthermore, at the request of the trade unions, he reiterated the importance of health and safety and the dignity of workers, reiterating that for Stellantis there are no budget limits on the issue of health and safety and announced that they have decided that in all factories in the world have decided that once a month the factory manager will inspect each plant together with the factory representatives to verify the different situations.
