Netherlands-based international automaker Stellantis will remake its Turin, Italy, factory into an electric-vehicle (EV) center, a move to increase efficiency as it shifts to selling more EVs, according to a recent Automotive News Europe report.

At Mirafiori plant — the historic center of Fiat — Stellantis will engineer a new electrified platform to build Maserati sedans between 2022 and 2024. The factory already produces the Fiat New 500 battery-electric minicar as well as the Maserati Levante SUV.

Manufacture of the Maserati Ghilbli and Quatroporte sedans will also be transferred to Mirafiori.

Formed from the merger of Fiat Chrysler and PSA Group earlier this year, Stellantis will run one manufacturing process to make combustion engines, hybrids, and electric powertrains.

“Stellantis is working with determination and alacrity to anticipate and prepare for the energy transition of all its Italian industrial sites,” the company said in a statement. “The goal is to improve performance at the plants “to give this country a strategic role among the group’s main domestic European markets.”

Turning Connected Vehicle Data Into Decisions That Matter

Fleet leaders have more data than ever, but turning that data into clear, actionable decisions remains a challenge. This white paper shows how leading organizations are using connected vehicle data to improve safety, reduce costs, and optimize fleet performance. Learn how to turn insight into action across your fleet.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
