Overview
- Stellantis confirmed temporary halts across sites in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain to align production with lower demand and reduce finished-vehicle stock.
- In Pomigliano (Italy), production of the Alfa Romeo Tonale will pause from 29 September to 10 October and the Fiat Panda from 29 September to 6 October due to weak orders for those models.
- Poissy (France) will suspend assembly from 13 to 31 October, affecting models including Opel Mokka and DS 3, according to company statements reported by multiple outlets.
- An Opel spokesperson said Eisenach (Germany) will shut for two days in October with work time balanced via hours accounts, while reported pauses include Tychy (Poland) for nine days, Zaragoza (Spain) for seven days and Madrid for 14 days.
- The cuts follow Stellantis’s first-half loss and tougher competition from lower-priced Chinese EVs; the group continues its Leapmotor partnership, with production planned at Zaragoza in Q3 2026.
