CONSQUESCES FOR DS, OPEL, FIAT, AND Alfa
Stellantis is Temporarily Halting Production at its Car Factory in Poissy, France, and is also Doing the Same in Shifts at A Factory in Pomigliano, Italy. The Decision Affects Models from DS, Opel, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo.
Temporary Factory Closures Are Not Uncommon, But They Are Certainly Not A Good Sign. The Stellantis Factory in Poissy, France, Will Be closed for three week starting October 13, Reuters Reports. The Opel Mokka and Citroën ds3 are assembled here, but not for a while. There are 2,000 people working in Poissy, who will be kept working as much as possible, Accordination to the Same Report. This is also done by, for example, providing training.
The Factory in Pomigliano, Near Naples, Will also be temporarily closed. Between September 29 and October 6, no cars will roll off the assembly line here, accordance to reuters, and the 3,800 employees will have mandatory leave. This mean that the alfa romeo and fiat panda (old model, ‘pandina’) will not be made for a while. The disappointing demand underlying this can be partly explained for the tonal by American import tariffs. The Tonale is also available in the us and briefly had an American Sister Model Called the Dodge Hornet. The Production of That Hornet Has Even Been Completely Suspended for the Time Being.
