A long line of electric 500s crosses a group of brand new Maserati Levante. The production lines run parallel, then pass one above the other, crossing each other in a ballet of workers and bodies, a perfect photograph of Mirafiori’s new life. Yesterday Stellantis Italia opened its doors to journalists: the 500 and the Levante are the only models produced in Mirafiori, but soon other Maseratis will arrive, the Ghibli and the Quattroporte from Grugliasco and then the New Quattroporte on a line dedicated to electrified cars (hybrid and electric) of the Trident.
Turin will become “a center of excellence and competence for the energy transition and electrification” said Santo Ficili, country manager of Stellantis Italia, recalling that in Mirafiori there are the largest Vehicle-to-Grid plant in the world and the “Battery Hub ”and“ Battery Lab ”, centers specialized in the assembly and testing of batteries. The group’s global electrification strategy, moreover, envisages massive investments, with 30 billion euros by 2025 and the goal, by 2030, that 70% of sales in Europe are electrified cars.
The new life of Mirafiori also passes through the “Stellantis Italy House”, which will be inaugurated on November 3 in via Plava, between the Style Center and the Heritage Hub. “It was born here to reaffirm once again our bond with Turin, and with a territory that holds one of the most important automotive heritage in the world,” said Ficili.
The Italy House will be a meeting place for all those who work on the Italian market, about 900 people, from communication to marketing, and will propose a new working method, the result of the integration of FCA and PSA and the experience of smart working. gained during the pandemic. “The modalities of presence are changing to encourage remote working which will represent 70% of the total – said Ficili – and also the offices, designed to guarantee the well-being of those who use them”. –
