Stellantis' presence in Italy is not threatened. And the company is working on electric cars. This is what CEO Carlos Tavares says in two interviews with National newspaper and others Sunday 24 hours. The CEO guarantees that in terms of investments, the ex-Fiat has “a very substantial plan for Mirafiori, where exports are 93%, which we have called “Mirafiori Automotive Park 2030”. Not counting the investments planned on the industrial level, we are developing investments worth more than 240 million euros. » While Tavares confirms to the Confindustria newspaper his commitment to electric cars: “Italy is the only country in the world where we have invested in two native BEV platforms, Stla medium and Stla large. Other countries might blame me for that. The two new platforms will increase the BEV's range to 7-800 kilometers, to reduce motorists' anxiety about charging. Additionally, Italy is the country where we will have one of our three battery cell gigafactories. Among other things, the only battery factory in Italy. I would like to add that Italy is the country where we think we can produce a million vehicles. And this is the country in which we increased production by 10% in 2023, that's a fact.” Finally, a joke about the hypothesis of a Chinese manufacturer in Italy: “The market – today we are leaders with 33% – would be more fragmented, it would not increase in size or production. The real battle would be over costs. A Chinese manufacturer would assemble cars using Chinese suppliers. I tell you: we “We are not afraid of the Chinese challenge, but weakening Stellantis in Italy would not help Italy.”
