Stellantis to Start Production of New Small EVs in Italy
By Dominic Chopping
Jeep-maker Stellantis will start producing a new range of electric vehicles to serve the small affordable car market in Europe.
The automaker said Tuesday that the project--called E-Car--will see production begin in 2028 at its Pomigliano d'Arco plant in Naples, Italy.
"Our customers are calling for a revival of small, stylish vehicles, proudly produced in Europe, which are also affordable and environmentally friendly," Chief Executive Antonio Filosa said.
The company said the small affordable car segment has the potential for significant production volumes, noting that the European Commission has recognized the category as potentially offering a way to boost European design and manufacturing jobs while supporting the wider adoption of fully electric vehicles.
Stellantis plans to offer the new E-Cars under multiple brands.
