Stellantis' production in the first three months of 2024, after two years of growth, marks a reversal of trend compared to the same period of 2023. In fact, according to data illustrated by Fim Cisl, there was a decline of 9.8%. Among cars and commercial vans, the units produced are 170,415 against 188,910 in 2023. Car production marks -23.8%, that of vehicles grows by 28.5%.
"If the data are confirmed, production in 2024 will be just over 630 thousand units, below the 751 thousand in 2023. The target of 1 million vehicles is moving away", comments general secretary Ferdinando Uliano.
All the factories are halving their production - explained Uliano - except Pomigliano, which represents more than half of the total production and where there was a growth of 26% compared to the first quarter of 2023, and Atessa. The Mirafiori production center loses the push of the electric 500 which had characterized the production rise of the last three years, compensating for the continuous decline of Maseratis. The Melfi and Cassino plants are waiting for the transition to future production on the two new Stla Medium and Stla Large platforms expected to start from the end of 2024 and the first half of 2025 respectively. Atessa's commercial vehicles return after two years of negative decline to make a positive contribution to overall volumes.
"The discussion we have been having in recent days, analyzing the situation and prospects of each production site and institution, must find positive and concrete answers that we have not yet had today" underlined Uliano.
