China to the rescue of European car plants
La industria automotriz europea sacrifica la autonomía por la supervivencia. Stellantis y otros gigantes buscan en China la tecnología para reactivar plantas al borde del colapso, como la de Fiat en Cassino. Leer
The Fiat plant in Cassino, Italy, is struggling, with empty parking lots and closed doors, as only 2,200 employees work a few days a month. In the first half of 2026, the plant produced just 6,700 cars, a fraction of its 300,000 annual capacity. Stellantis, the parent company, is seeking a solution, possibly with Chinese partners, as it has done in Spain and France with Leapmotor and Dongfeng.
The Italian government and local authorities are hoping for a deal to save the plant and the local economy, which has been severely impacted by the decline of the automotive industry.
