This comes after months of tensions regarding Italian production between Stellantis and local unions, as well as the government
The news comes just a week after Italian authorities seized over 100 Topolinos affixed with small Italian flags. Stellantis plans to increase annual Italian production to 1 million units by 2030. The hybrid Fiat 500 could launch in the first quarter of 2026. Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares has announced Fiat will build a hybrid version of the 500 at the company’s Mirafiori factory in Italy .
Last week, Italian authorities seized 134 Fiat Topolinos at the port of Livorno because they featured a small Italian flag on the bodywork, despite the tiny EV being manufactured in Morocco. This incident came just a few weeks after Alfa Romeo changed the name of its new SUV from Milano to Junior due to a dispute with Italian government officials. Stellantis has also revealed it will start to build a hybrid version of the Jeep Compass at its Melfi plant in Italy.
