Stellantis Chairman John Elkann said
Friday that every Italian plant of the Italo-Franco-US carmaker
had a clear mission.
'Today each of our plants has a clear mission," he said in a
conference call.
"Melfi will become the centre for the production of medium-sized
electric cars.
"Cassino will specialise in larger electrics.
"Termoli is engaged in a fundamental reconversion: from the
production of thermal engines to a European gigafactory: an
investment of 2.1 billion.
"This applies to all our plants.
"Here, at Mirafiori, in addition to existing production, after
the start-up of the circular economy centre, we plan to build a
plant for the production of electric transmissions with Punch
Powertrain."
Elkann said the investment at the historic Turin plan showed the
group's clear commitment to Italy.
He added "we are proud of our contribution to automotive
history".
CEO Carlos Tavares said at the inauguration of the show "Drive
Different" that Stellantis was confident about the future and
ready to lead the envirenmentally friendly transition amid the
climate crisis.
