Conflict Between Stellantis And Italian Government Calls Into Question Future Of Jeep And Fiat Brands In Europe. Learn More!
Stellantis, the company responsible for the Jeep and Fiat brands, is facing a turbulent moment due to a possible agreement between the Italian government and Chinese companies for production in Europe. Stellantis’ refusal to increase production in Italy has led the government to consider the entry of Chinese companies BYD and Chery into the European market, raising concern within the company, according to the website Garagem 360.
The Italian government is looking to increase vehicle production in the country, pressuring Stellantis to expand its output to 1 million vehicles, instead of the current 750,000. In light of Stellantis’ refusal, the government has begun negotiations with Chinese companies, worrying the automaker.
