  "account": "Stellantis production continues to rise in Italy for 2026, despite a slowdown compared to the first half of the year, according to the latest data from the integration office at Mirafiori and the concerning situation at Cassino. The production for the third quarter of 2026 is estimated at 340,745 vehicles (+28.3% compared to 2025), with cars up by 36.7%. \"Volumes remain on the rise, but 2026 forecasts are around 450,000 vehicles,\" notes Stellantis General Secretary Ferdinando Uliano. The next meeting with the company is set for October 15th, focusing on Cassino's struggles and Mirafiori's future. 340,745 units of cars and commercial vehicles were produced compared to 265,490 units in the same period last year. Car production increased by +36.7%, reaching 206,945 units, while commercial vehicle production is recovering after a slight decline in the first half of the year, with a 17.3% growth compared to 2025, amounting to 133,800 units. Cassino is the only vehicle assembly site showing a negative trend with a 37.1% loss. The production of Jeep Compass in Melfi and the steady performance of Fiat Panda have contributed to the growth, recovering the losses from 2025, but not reaching previous years' levels. The hybrid Fiat 500, along with the full electric model, showed a decisive increase in production compared to 2025 but far from the initially anticipated volumes, prompting the return of the integration office to Carrozzerie after eight months of inactivity. Pomigliano d'Arco managed to increase its production volume compared to the first nine months of 2025, but still relies on solidarity contracts, while Cassino loses over a third of its production compared to the 2025. The Atessa (Abruzzo) commercial vehicle plant is the largest producer (133,800 units, 39.3% of Italian production) and resumed using solidarity contracts, while Cassino lost more than a third of its production compared to the 2025. The bet is to reach full capacity by the end of 2027, with all new productions running at full capacity, including the recently announced Alfa Romeo. 2026 is thus a year of trend reversal compared to 2024-2025, but according to FIM predictions, it will not reach the goal of half a million vehicles produced in Italy. The last year Italy produced more than a million vehicles (cars and commercial) was 2017, and there seems to be no conditions to reach that level in the coming years. In 2026, the hybrid 500, the new Jeep Compass, and the DS8 should benefit from the production throughout the year, along with the new DS7 and Lancia Gamma in the last quarter. Auto production should exceed 250,000 units for the year, returning Italy to decades-old levels, but less positive than the forecasts, especially due to the slowdown in Fiat 500 production due to lack of material and lower orders, which led to two weeks of CIG in October. The use of solidarity contracts decreased by over 30% in the last nine months due to new production launches and a labor slowdown of about a thousand workers in 2026. Only Melfi lost over 2,000 employees in recent years. The production of Fiat Panda represents exactly half of the total auto production in Italy, while commercial vehicles make up more than 40% of the total vehicle production in Italy.",
