The compass of the strategy is not patriotism but economic convenience stellantis. On Monday, the CEO of the automotive group born from the merger between Fiat e A dog, Carlos Tavares, will meet the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo, in Rome Ursoto talk about the future ofauto and Stellantis policies in Italy. But he will tell him what he replied yesterday to the French Economy Minister, Bruno The Mayor, which urged Stellantis to “be patriotic”, i.e. produce more cars in France. Tavares was trenchant: "Stellantis produces where it is most competitive". An answer that also silences the nationalistic outbursts of Italian political and social forces who complain about Stellantis' waning interest in our country and who would like to push the CDP to enter the capital of the automotive giant to ensure a greater presence in Italy. However, in the market economy, as Tavares rightly pointed out, things don't work like this. It is productivity and profitability that drive investment, not patriotism.
At Urso, the CEO of Stellantis will not show up empty-handed because at the factory of Melfi the platform for the production of electric cars and he will recall that in the first six months of the year 15,3% more cars and vans were produced in the Italian plants compared to the same period of 2022. "The problem - as the Fim-Cisl – is that in nine months of Meloni government we don't see concrete facts about the car”. Up for Tavares
