Production forecast for Italy in 2015 (PC + LUV)
- Italian car production declined significantly in the 2000s, mainly due to relocations towards Poland (Fiat Panda, Fiat 500, Lancia Ypsilon) towards Serbia (Fiat 500 L) and towards Turkey (Fiat Fiorino, Doblo).
- In addition, the decline in Fiat C segment sales (Stilo, Bravo) and Lancia C-D-E segments (Delta, Lybra, Thesis), and even Alfa Romeo generally accentuated the decline of Italian production.
- Finally, the sharp decline of the Italian market after the financial crisis, has not helped the development of the Italian automotive industry.
- Hence, the Italian car production reached its lowest point in 2013 (639 000 units), two times lower than in 2007. 2014 and 2015 will be better, because the domestic market is restarting, just like the European market (after five years of decline). In addition, since the purchase of Chrysler, the Fiat Group may have a policy for global production, which will enable it to produce in Italy vehicles for the global market : the new Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500 X produced in Melfi, the new Alfa Romeo planned for 2015 - 2016, Maserati scaling from levels close to those of Ferrari to levels closer to those of Jaguar. The Italian production should again get closer to 850 000 units in 2015. Inovev expects production in Italy to increase by 8% between 2014 and 2015.
