Stellantis aims to double production at Mirafiori in 2026

Emanuele Cappellano, Stellantis’s head for Europe, announced that the Mirafiori plant in Turin will produce double the number of vehicles assembled in 2025 during 2026. The statement comes at a delicate time for the Piedmont site, among the group’s most discussed in recent years due to production levels reduced compared to the past.

On the same day, Stellantis shares closed up 2.13% on Piazza Affari. The temporal coincidence between the announcement and the stock movement is not enough on its own to establish a causal link: share prices reflect a multitude of factors in every session — from overall trading in the auto sector to the day’s macroeconomic news — and attributing the entire rise to a single corporate statement would be a stretch that the available data does not support.

It should be noted that, at this time, the news comes from a single source (MilanoFinanza); no independent confirmation is available. It is not known, based on the material circulated so far, whether the doubling target is accompanied by detailed industrial plans, specific investments or hiring timelines, nor whether Stellantis has provided the 2025 production volumes that serve as the basis for comparison. The announcement, as reported, remains a statement of intent by a group executive, not a figure certified by financial statements or official company releases.

Mirafiori is one of Stellantis’s historic plants in Italy, and its production is closely followed by unions, local institutions and industry observers because of its employment weight in the Turin area. A possible doubling of volumes, if confirmed by official corporate sources or verifiable production data, would represent a significant shift compared to the trajectory of recent years.
