(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 19 - The government is trying to get a
second car manufacturer to set up in Italy in order to meet
overall production targets and protect labour, Business and Made
in Italy Minister Adolfo Urso said on Friday.
"We are working for a second car manufacturer to set up in our
country in order to reach our overall target of producing 1.
"That number of cars produced could meet the needs of the
domestic market and fully safeguard the production system," he
continued.
"It is not easy, but we are working on it," added Urso.
Since taking office the government of Premier Giorgia Meloni has
insisted on the need to reverse the decline in car production in
Italy in recent years, particularly by getting Stellantis to
bring manufacturing back to the country.
Last month the group cnfirmed its commitment to reach a
production level of one million cars and commercial vehicles per
year in Italy under its Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan.
In a statement released after a meeting at the business and Made
in Italy ministry, the group reaffirmed "the centrality of
Italy" in its global strategy and the "will to create a
sustainable future for its Italian operations". (ANSA).
