One week of regular work and then a new interruption of assembly activities along the Mirafiori Bodyworks assembly line. Stellantis management communicated to the unions late in the morning three days of production stoppage due to “lack of engines.” A situation that upon resumption also affected, for example, the operations in Melfi, where the Stla Medium platform is operational. From an industrial point of view, the critical issue seems to be represented by hybrid engines, which are destined to have a growing role in the automotive market.

For Edi Lazzi, secretary of Fiom in Turin, and Gianni Mannori, head of Fiom in Mirafiori, they declare, “the production problems were not resolved upon returning to the factory and we have to acknowledge that after just one week we are already facing significant production stoppages. Certainly, this is not a good calling card for the new CEO of the Fiat brand, Belloni.” The issue, for the unions, is twofold: on one hand, the need to bring a new model to Mirafiori for immediate production and investment in a new production line in the near future, modeled after Pomigliano. On the other hand, resolving the structural supply issues of the lines.
For Fim Cisl, “The Company must quickly take steps to normalize this situation. It is impossible to look to the last part of the year with confidence in this context; to protect the Mirafiori plant and its employees, stability is needed,” reiterate secretary Rocco Cutrì and automotive manager Igor Albera.
In the background, there is concern about the sustainability of volumes and the market for the Group’s city car, offered not only in electric version but also in hybrid version. An operation that on one hand has still recovered volumes in the Group’s historic factory – 30,000 cars produced in 2025, 16.5% more than in 2024, with volumes doubled in the first half of the year to 36,000 units – but still far from the target of 100,000 cars produced during the year as initially estimated.
