«Dear supplier of the 500 Bev, due to the growing market demand for electric cars, we are considering increasing the production of the electric 500 to 100/140 thousand vehicles per year». The good news, written in English and signed by Stellantis, which foresees the doubling of production in Mirafiori (back to the volumes of 2016), has recently arrived in the letterbox of the auto related companies. In the document delivered to suppliers , the fourth largest car manufacturer in the world asks Piedmontese companies, and not only, if they believe they are able to respond to the surge in orders based on two scenarios: 100,000 or 140,000 cars in 47 working weeks , that is, in one year. The production target of the new Fiat brand vehicle, launched last October on the market, was 70,000 vehicles per year.
Companies will have to respond by 6 July. And then get going. The rest of the group's electric strategy (models and plan for the Italian Gigafactory) will be explained in detail by the CEO of Stellantis Carlos Tavares during the meeting on July 8, Electric day. Meanwhile, the announcement made to the suppliers reconnects the plug to the Turin car. Even if the Grugliasco (Agap) plant risks ending up on the industrial margins, Mirafiori could instead be reborn by returning to production volumes that have not been seen for at least five years. Not only with the electrified Maserati models and the hypothesis of producing electric batteries. With the doubling of the volumes of the 500E, the large Turin factory could leave the difficulties encountered in recent months, especially in finding raw materials, to the rearview mirror; microchips and batteries.
