Stellantis is targeting Italy with an investment plan of 5 billion euros by 2030. The announcement came during the meeting between the automotive group and the trade unions in Rome, where the head of Europe, Emanuele Cappellano, illustrated the strategy that will accompany the company in the coming years. The resources will be allocated to the development of new technological platforms, artificial intelligence, new generation engines and the strengthening of the Italian industrial presence within the group’s global strategy. The investment is part of the new FaSTLAne 2030 industrial plan, presented by Stellantis as the program that will support the company’s growth and competitiveness over the next five years.
Five billion for Italy by 2030
According to what Emanuele Cappellano explained, the group will invest a total of 5 billion euros in Italian factories and activities by the end of the decade. The resources will be used to accelerate technological innovation and support the evolution of the automotive industry towards increasingly advanced production models. A significant part of the investments will be allocated to the platforms that will host the group’s future vehicles, as well as projects related to artificial intelligence and new mobility solutions.
“Our commitments for Italy are concrete, structural and long-term oriented: innovation, employment and valorisation of skills are the pillars on which we are building a new phase of growth,” declared Emanuele Cappellano.
What is the FaSTLAne 2030 plan
The new FaSTLAne 2030 industrial program represents the evolution of the previous Italy Plan and is part of a global strategy that envisages overall investments of over 60 billion euros by 2030. At a global level, approximately 60% of the resources will be allocated to brands and products, while the remaining 40% will be invested in the development of global platforms, powertrains and new technologies. The plan also includes the launch of 60 new models and approximately 50 major product updates. The new features include electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, full hybrids and models with traditional or mild hybrid engines.
According to Stellantis, this strategy will make it possible to simplify production architectures, increase economies of scale and offer more targeted solutions to different international markets.
The role of Italian factories
In the new production structure outlined by the group, Italy will have a central function. Mirafiori and Pomigliano d’Arco will be the reference centers for the production of small cars. The plants in Melfi, Cassino and Modena will instead be specialized in medium-high range models and in the premium segment, while Atessa will continue to represent the point of reference for commercial vehicles.
The projects announced also include the new generation of electric city cars which will be produced in Pomigliano d’Arco starting from 2028. The Campania plant should host future models of the Fiat and Citroën brands destined for the European market. New Alfa Romeo models are also planned for the Melfi plant and the renewal of the range of commercial vehicles produced in Atessa.
An important part of the resources will be allocated to digital technologies and artificial intelligence. The group is developing new international collaborations to accelerate the evolution of connected cars and assisted driving. The partners mentioned in the plan include companies specializing in software, artificial intelligence and intelligent mobility systems.
Overall, over 24 billion euros will be allocated to global platforms, thrusters and innovative technologies by 2030. According to the group’s estimates, the plan should allow it to achieve revenues of 190 billion euros by 2030 compared to the 154 billion recorded in 2025, while supporting the competitiveness of European and Italian plants.
