Il group stellantis ended 2023 with 751.384 vehicles produced in Italian factories, with an increase of 9,6% compared to 2022, when 685.753 vehicles were produced. Car production increased by 8,6% while commercial vehicles grew by 11,8%. The data, however, are contrasting when compared with those pre-Covid, in 2019, when the crisis in semiconductor supplies was also yet to come: if the automotive sector has returned to similar levels (-0,9%), on commercial vehicles the drop is 12 percent. The data was released today by Fim-Cisl, in a press conference held in Turin.
The recovery of Pomigliano
Much of the group's growth is due to Pomigliano d'Arco plant (+30%, where production levels have returned to its reopening in 2011) and to commercial vehicles produced in Atessa, in Abruzzo (+12 percent).
Fim: “Down Cassino and Mirafiori suffers”
Among the factories, they end the year badly especially Casino (-11,3%) And the entire Turin hub with a drop of 9,3 percent. “To reach the objective set by the government of one million cars to be produced in Italy, we need to increase current volumes by 33%,” he says Ferdinand Ulianus, national secretary of the Fim-Cisl. To get there it would have taken a bigger push from Maserati and from 500 electric, of which 2023 units were produced at Mirafiori in 77.500: “It is a positive figure, but not what was expected in the first half of the year – adds Uliano – and we believe that Mirafiori should continue to operate the two production lines”. The expected production for the 500 full electric alone should have exceeded 90 thousand units, exceeding 100 thousand in 2024.
