TERMOLI. After Fim-Cisl, Uilm and Fiom, it was the turn of Fismic-Confsal to analyze the effects and prospects of the merger of FCA and Psa into the new Stellantis group. For the general secretary Roberto Di Maulo, a connoisseur of the entire fleet of Italian factories, including Termoli and Sevel, this is an extraordinary opportunity, well guarded by a governance in which Italy plays a leading role.

The secretariat of the national coordination Fismic Confsal met and expressed a very positive opinion on the constitution of the new Stellantis group born from the equalization between FCA and PSA. In fact, in December there were numerous meetings with Dr. Pietro Gorlier, head of the EMEA area who essentially reiterated that the investments in the industrial plan (over 5 billion) have all been authorized and are being implemented.

The new models envisaged by the plan (500BEV, Tonale, Grecale, Jeep Compass, etc.) are all in the works, the re-launch of the Maserati brand is expected and the delay due to the pandemic is rapidly catching up. " Turin - explains Di Maulo, general secretary of Fismic Confsal - has authoritatively applied for the role of R&D and planning of the transition to electricity. All models will quickly make the technological leap, and the Giorgio platform is a candidate to set up all future high-end models of Stellantis. Furthermore, the role of President John Elkann is an operational role alongside that of Carlos Tavares.

“Finally, we had the reassurance that all phases of production, design, engineering and components currently allocated in Italy will in the future be under national governance. Regarding the Termoli plant, Secretary Mercogliano intervened, underlining the importance of assigning the mild hybrid engines and, as regards the engineering of the electric motor, who knows he may not reserve us some further good surprises. All these elements - concludes Di Maulo - lead us to believe that the numerous cries of alarm of the usual catastrophists who see the end of the automotive industry in Italy are without any foundation. Stellantis was born with a deep imprint given by the national automotive sector and the high rate of innovation that our industry in the sector has, including components, will only receive benefits from the establishment of the fourth largest car manufacturer in the world ".

In the coming days, Fismic Confsal will ask for a meeting through Dr. de Biasi responsible for HR Fca, Dr. Fiona Cicconi member of the board of directors Stellantis, to coordinate together the next steps of the union to continue monitoring of the first phases of the new Stellantis group which will start going public on Monday.
