Pausing is associated with weak demand and affects Fiat Panda, Alfa Romeo Tonale, DS3 and Opel Mokka.
The Stellantis Auto Producer announced the temporary suspension of the work of two of European businesses due to poor market demand, Reuters reports. We talk about the factory in Prailino (next to Naplera, Italy) and the business in Poissi, west of Paris.
Fiat Panda will stop Prailino from September 29 to October 6, and the release of the Alfa Romeo Tonale Crossover – until October 10. During the downtime, about 3.8 thousand workers will go on a forced vacation.
In France, a factory in Puassi, where DS3 and Opel Mokka models are made, will be idle from October 13 to October 31. About 2 thousand employees work here. The company plans to use a pause to optimize stocks, technical jobs and practice staff training.
Generally, in the first seven months of 2025, car sales in Europe remained at the level of last year (7.9 million units), while the results of Stellantis brands fell 8% – up to 1.19 million.
The company explained that the demand for Alfa Romeo Tonale was also reduced due to American duties, and the suspension of Panda production was slightly associated with lowering orders from fleets and lease companies in the second half of the year.
We remind, earlier reported that Subaru stops the release of legacy after 35 years of labor.
