Mopar And Amazon Team Up For Distribution Of Parts In Italy:

About a month ago, we told you about how Amazon and the Alfa Romeo brand were teaming up to offer test drives of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio to potential buyers in the United Kingdom. This is a service where the person interested in test driving the vehicle but doesn’t have time to visit a dealer, can schedule a test drive with Amazon and the vehicle would be brought to you.

At the beginning of this month, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) CEO, Mike Manley announced he had made a few upper management changes at the company. One of those changes, was hiring Mark Stewart as COO of North American region. Before joining FCA, Stewart was the Vice President of Operations for Amazon.

Well, the Amazon and FCA connection continues as the companies has announced the Mopar will be selling some of their parts and accessories on Amazon for Italian customers.
