Business Made in Italy Minister Adolfo Urso said on Friday that the government is seeking to establish a second car manufacturer in Italy to meet overall production targets and protect the workforce. .
“To achieve the overall goal of producing 1.4 million cars in Italy,” Urso said before meeting with trade union representatives and a delegation of workers from Italian multinational car manufacturer Stellantis. We are working to establish a second automaker in our country.” In 2021, Italian-American Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) will merge with France’s PSA Group and a satellite company in Potenza.
“If such a large number of units are produced, we will be able to meet the needs of the domestic market and fully protect the production system,” he added.
“It’s not easy, but we’re working on it,” Urso added.
Since taking office, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has emphasized the need to reverse the recent decline in Italian car production by bringing manufacturing back home, particularly at Stellantis.
Last month, the Group confirmed its commitment to achieve an annual production level of 1 million passenger cars and commercial vehicles in Italy under its “Dare Forward 2030” strategic plan.
In a statement issued after a meeting at the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, the group reaffirmed “Italy’s centrality” in global strategy and “the will to create a sustainable future for Italian business” .
