“Our confidence in the electric future remains unchanged. When it comes time to embark on a path to zero emissions, we answer the call, and nowhere more so than here in Turin.” Stellantis President, John Elkann, said this on the occasion of the launch of the Fiat 500 hybrid. “The beautiful 500 Elettrica, which we have been producing here at Mirafiori since 2020, is clear proof of this” he added.
“We and our colleagues have had an intense dialogue with the European Commission throughout this year and at all levels. This has been a much appreciated, honest and open exchange, which has presented the real facts as we, our customers and our entire ecosystem experience them. As an industry – he added – we have developed a package of concrete, achievable and sensible positive proposals, which, together, can start to lift the European automotive industry from the risk of irreversible decline, while continuing to pursue the Commission’s environmental decarbonisation goals.”
“Here in Turin – continues Elkann – the heartbeat of Fiat and the adventure that began in this city 126 years ago and has spread throughout the world. Today Fiat boasts a worldwide sales record and leadership in terms of cars sold among the Stellantis brands”. “The global development of the Fiat brand certainly does not weaken, but actually strengthens Italy, Turin and Mirafiori. Thanks to the investments we continue to make, by prioritizing engineering excellence, design and local production to serve the whole world.
