Overview
- European chief Emanuele Cappellano said output will rise in 2026, citing the Fiat 500 hybrid at Mirafiori plus new Jeep Compass and DS8 production at Melfi.
- Cappellano outlined plant assignments that include three models for Pomigliano, new DS and later Lancia Gamma lines at Melfi, a next‑generation 500 at Mirafiori by 2030, and confirmed Termoli for GSE engines and e‑DCT gearboxes.
- Reporting indicates the ACC gigafactory project at Termoli has been shelved, with the site instead focused on engines adapted to Euro 7 and transmissions.
- Cassino remains in acute difficulty after roughly 17,000 units in 2025, with only four working days in January and another stoppage scheduled in early February.
- Unions protested Stellantis’ push for suppliers to invest in Algeria, where the Tafraoui plant targets six models and about 90,000 vehicles a year, ahead of a February 2 supplier meeting in Turin.
