Production forecasts in Italy in 2016 (PC + LCV)
- The Italian car production declined a lot after 2007, primarily because of several relocations: towards Poland (Fiat Panda, Fiat 500, LanciaYpsilon) to Serbia (Fiat 500L) and to Turkey (Fiat Fiorino, Doblo, Tipo). Moreover, the decline of Fiat sales in the C segment (Stilo, Bravo) and of Lancia on segments_ C-D-E (Delta, Lybra, Thesis), and even Alfa Romeo in a whole accentuated the decline in Italian production.
- Finally, the sharp decline of the Italian market after the financial crisis, has not favored the revival of the Italian automotive industry that remains its largest supplier. Thus, the Italian automobile production experienced its low point in 2013 (639 000 units), 50% below the level of 2007. The years 2014 and 2015 have reversed the trend, because the domestic market is now restarting, like the European market (after five years of decline).
- In addition,since the purchase of Chrysler, the Fiat Group can now have a global production policy, callowing it to produce in Italy global vehicles like the recent Jeep Renegade and Fiat 500X produced in Melfi, the future Alfa Romeos planned for 2016-2017 and Maserati that saw its sales multiplied by 6 in five years. Italian production should therefore come closer to 900 000 units in 2016.Inovev forecasts a growth of Italian production of 10% between 2015 and 2016.
