MELFI, HUB FOR STELLANTIS ELECTRICS
Specifically, in 2023 the factory adjustment works with the aim of making it operational the following year. The models produced will be mid-range, will be launched on the market through the various brands of the Group and will be based on one of the new platforms for battery-powered vehicles that Stellantis recently announced. The production management will be; deeply modified right from the start, adopting an approach already; followed within the factories of PSA. Everything that is done today on two production lines will be; gathered within a single large line.
Currently, the Fiat 500 X, Jeep Renegade and Jeep Compass models . The batteries for electric cars will also be assembled at the Melfi site in a new dedicated line. Thanks to this plan, Melfi will keep; a capacity production of 400 thousand vehicles per year . The goal is to work 19.5 shifts per week.
The reorganization of the plant will not bring; to staff redundancies. However, with the creation of a single large production line there will be; a surplus of manpower that will be managed through & quot; redundancy incentives and transfers to other Group plants & quot; as highlighted Roberto Di Maulo , general secretary of Fismic Confsal.
The comments of the participants in the meeting were mostly; positive. It is, in fact, appreciated that Stellantis has anticipated a piece of its new industrial plan that focuses on an Italian factory that will become; an important piece of the electrification strategy. A strategy that highlights how the Group wants to continue investing in the country. The discussions, however, will continue above all to safeguard salaries, jobs and related activities.
The question of the Gigafactory still remains open. News could arrive, perhaps, during the appointment of the Electrification Day of Stellantis to be held; on July 8. Melfi would be the number one candidate to host it.
