To Maintain Leadership in the National Market, Fiat Bets on Hybrid Car Production and Ethanol

Ethanol Is a Fuel Used for Years and Is Much Cheaper, Making Fiat’s Bet a Great Cost-Benefit.

The main goal of Stellantis, the merger between FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) and PSA Group, is to maintain the automaker’s leadership position in the national market.

The shortage of parts and semiconductors has been the biggest alert for Fiat, and the necessity to relocate suppliers becomes the main focus as delays in delivery directly affect national sales.

Nationalization of Parts May Be the Solution for Fiat’s Semiconductor Shortage

The CEO of Stellantis in the Betim region, Antônio Filosa, points out that the nationalization of parts is the best way to deal with the problem, especially regarding the electrical components of cars, as imports would increase costs and lead times. 

“Most automakers import; we localize. This is our commitment to our business and people,” says Filosa.

Investment in hybrid cars and ethanol is substantial. According to the CEO, ethanol is a fuel used for years and is much cheaper, making Fiat’s bet a great cost-benefit.

Fiat has a huge variety when we mention the more technical parts of the automotive world, and we can analyze this when discussing the hybrid system of the Corolla. This would be a good start, but initially, the expectation is to begin with the mild hybrid or MHEV.

The MHEV is a system that is much easier to install and has far fewer parts, which relieves the pressure when we revisit the initial supply issues; therefore, the PHEV is initially ruled out.
