Stellantis CEO Pushes EU To Step Up and Save Europe’s Auto Industry
Filosa Warns Carmakers are Being Squeezed by Rules and Chinese Rivals

Europe’s auto industry is at a breaking point, according to Stellantis’ new CEO, Antonio Filosa. Just weeks into his new role, Filosa is publicly urging the European Union (EU) to take swift action to keep car production alive in the region, saying current emission rules are unrealistic and risk driving automakers—and affordable small cars—out of the market.
In interviews with Il Sole 24 Ore in Italy and Les Echos in France, Filosa made it clear that without regulatory relief, car sales will continue to slide. “Volumes in Italy will arrive, if European rules change, thanks to new launches,” he told Il Sole 24 Ore, pointing to upcoming production of the Jeep® Compass (J4U) at Stellantis’ Melfi Assembly Plant and the hybrid Fiat 500 Ibrida in Mirafiori.
