- Brand new Fiat models will be produced at the Melfi Fiat plant from 2014 on. It is the second recent announcement of Fiat relating to a production of its models in Italy following the one relating to the Pomigliano plant.

- The Melfiplant (which produced traditionally Punto) will benefit from more than one billion euros of investment in the framework of the new strategy unveiled by the manufacturer in late October. It will eventually produce 1 600 cars per day (320,000 per year), including a small SUV Jeep and a small SUV Fiat (500X). Both models will replace the Fiat Sedici.

- Melfi, which has 5,500 employees, is the only plant to produce these two models. Once its modernization completed, the site will produce up to four different models on the same production line.

- The new Fiat strategy  plans that Fiat Italian factories produce future vehicles intended primarily for export, as well as  upper range models.  The Melfi plant  investment should be  followed by a series of investments in other factories.
