Stellantis Says Mirafiori Expansion Possible but Needs Government Help

Public measures to cut energy and logistics costs plus an EU credit for Europe‑made cars would determine whether Stellantis adds a second model at Turin’s Mirafiori plant.

Overview

  • Stellantis reported Mirafiori roughly doubled output in the first nine months of 2026 and on Tuesday said it is evaluating adding a second model to the Turin plant.
  • CEO Antonio Filosa told reporters that any expansion depends on lower industrial energy prices and faster, cheaper logistics from Italian and EU authorities to make the factory competitive.
  • The company is urging the European Commission for flexibility on CO2 rules and a ‘Made in Europe’ supercredit that would reward vehicles designed, engineered and produced in Europe.
  • Filosa said Stellantis plans an affordable European E‑car aimed at about €15,000 and expects a revived Citroën 2CV on the E‑car platform while partnerships with Asian firms such as Leapmotor remain unresolved.
  • A Maserati product plan due in December will shape the future of Cassino and other plants, and management says meeting 2026 guidance and hitting cash targets for 2027–28 are central to these investment choices.
