Stellantis' vehicle production in Italy rose 13.7% year over year to 252,223 vehicles in the first half of 2026, according to union FIM Cisl, marking a recovery in domestic manufacturing. The union forecasts full-year production of roughly 500,000 vehicles across the company's Italian plants, an improvement from recent levels but still significantly below the 750,000 vehicles produced in 2023 and only half of the Italian government's long-term target of 1 million units annually. Passenger car production, excluding light commercial vehicles, climbed 27.7% to 158,193 units, driven by the launch and ramp-up of the new Jeep Compass and Fiat 500 hybrid models. Most Italian factories recorded higher output during the period, reflecting stronger demand and new model production, although the Cassino plant remained a weak spot with production falling 36.2% year over year.
