Union Report Charts Stellantis Pullback in Italy as Rome Presses EU on Green Rules

Citing fresh union data, the government pushes Brussels to revisit the 2035 plan to protect Italy’s auto base.

Overview

  • Fiom-Cgil reports Stellantis cut roughly 9,656 Italian jobs from 2020 to 2024 and lost about 516,000 passenger cars of output versus 2004 levels.
  • As of September 1, 2025, 20,233 of 32,803 Stellantis employees in Italy were on cassa integrazione or solidarity contracts, equal to 61.68%.
  • Many recent mass‑market models are produced outside Italy, including Topolino in Morocco, Fiat 600 and Alfa Junior in Poland, the new Panda in Serbia, and the new Lancia Y in Spain.
  • The union cites declining net assets, reduced material investments, and a drop in R&D spending in Italy, reinforcing concerns over a long-term industrial retreat.
  • Industry Minister Adolfo Urso urged EU peers to revise Green Deal rules at the Competitiveness Council as the Commission promotes a small, low-cost e‑car strategy, and Fiom pressed CEO Antonio Filosa for a concrete industrial plan.
