ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The results in Italy show our seriousness, we will continue to invest significantly in Italy. In Italy in the first 5 months of the year the registrations have grown almost 15%, with an increase of the market share of almost 1.5%. The Fiat Pandina confirms the most sold car and the commercial vehicles of Pro One continue to be leader in the segment of light commercial vehicles. This positive market response has resulted in an increase in production. In the first 5 months of the year our plants have recorded a production increase of more than 16%. A growth that has already allowed us to significantly reduce the use of social shock absorbers in most of our factories by 30%.” Thus the managing director of Stellantis, Antonio Filosa, in his hearing today in front of the Joint Commissions Production Activities of the Chamber and Industry of the Senate. “From Italian I know perfectly how the greatness of this company deepens its roots also in this country – added Filosa -. Thanks to this link and the support that Italy has given us, today Stellantis is a great global company that represents the best of Italianity in the world”.
“In this first year of work we reversed the course. We reversed it by reorganizing us in stronger regional structures. Europe, North America, South America, Middle East & Africa, Asia Pacific: 5 regions distinct from different needs, both in productive and market terms. On this map, Italy is located in the centre of Europe, the region led by Emanuele Cappellano, who has his office in Mirafiori, our European headquarters. We reversed the route by introducing quality to the efficiencies ‘at all costs’ and returning to focus on the strength of our products. To do so, we are taking thousands of engineers worldwide and consolidating the best industrial standards. Impressing such a profound change to our strategy was difficult, but necessary to put us in a position to share with renewed confidence. A clear choice, made to bring people back to the center of everything we do,” he added.
“At global level in the first quarter of 2026 we returned to profitable growth. Registration grew by 12%, thanks above all to the contribution of Europe and North America – he continued -. We can count on solid financial bases, able to protect us from the volatility of the international context. I am also referring to the liquidity of almost 45 billion euros which we have today. There are encouraging signs, but the criticalities recorded in recent years are still not behind us. To ensure long-term sustainability, it is essential that the regulatory framework also support the competitiveness of the sector in Italy and Europe”.
“The plan includes 60 billion euros of investments and over 60 launches between 2026 and 2030 globally. The focus of our new strategy is on product and innovation. First, we have redefined the strategic approach to our brands, each of which will continue to play a fundamental role. FIAT, Jeep, Peugeot and RAM – brands with greater volumes – will be at the heart of our global technological innovation. The other brands, including Alfa Romeo and Lancia, will be valued according to the specific characteristics of the different regional and national contexts. Maserati will complete our global strategy and, you will see, will confirm Italian icon of style and elegance. All Italian brands will help to expand our offer, introducing new hybrid, electric vehicles and high efficiency thermal engines. An offer enriched by our new industrial platforms, based on flexible architectures that will make production adaptable to customer preferences. Moreover, thanks to artificial intelligence, we will strengthen the technologies on board our cars and improve the work in the company. We were among the first European manufacturers to adopt it on a large scale, from engineering to production, from design to customer interaction.”.
“From Italian I immediately care to remember with you Sergio Marchionne. Today would have been her 71st birthday. His values still accompany the people of Stellantis who were lucky enough to work with him,” he concluded.
