"Stellantis Faces Layoffs and Challenges Across Global Operations"
Stellantis is temporarily laying off thousands of workers at its Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy, with more than half of the affected workers involved in the production of the all-electric Fiat 500e. The decision is attributed to subdued demand for the vehicles, prompting concerns among unions and a call for immediate talks with the company. Italy's low EV adoption rates and the government's plan to offer financial incentives to encourage electric car purchases are highlighted, as Stellantis aims to navigate the challenges of embracing electric vehicles while setting ambitious sales targets for the future.
