- Fiat increases its production forecast for its plant in Melfi (Southern Italy), which is currently one of the less active European plants (23% utilization rate).

- Fiat will plans to produce 280 000 small SUV per year from 2015. This omens for the plant a second half of 2013 and first half of 2014 still mediocre but reboot is planned for the second half of 2014.

- The new vehicles will be launched in effect during the summer of 2014 and marketed under the brands Fiat (Fiat 500 X, 130 000 units per year) and Jeep (name unknown, 150,000 units per year). The Punto that was made on this site seems doomed. It could emigrate from Melfi to the Mirafiori plant where it is also currently manufactured.

- Fiat plans to launch 19 models manufactured in Italy by 2016, 9 Alfa Romeo, 6 Maserati, 3 Fiat and 1 Jeep. Fiat wants to increase the group's production in Europe of 1.2 million units in 2013 to 2 million units per year in 2016.

- In addition, Fiat has revised downward its production forecast in Kragujevac in Serbia for the 500 L due to delays in the model launch in Russia that was reported for several months. The upper bracket of 150,000 units per year has been reduced to 140,000 units, and could be lowered again if exports to the Russian market do not begin.
