Stellantis to return Maserati production to its Modena hometown
Automaker Stellantis said on Thursday that the production of Maserati sports cars will be moved from Turin's Mirafiori plant to Modena by the end of the year. Modena is the hometown of Maserati, a historic Italian brand that has been struggling and whose business plan, including new model launches, is under review after being put on hold last year. Mirafiori is gearing up for the launch later this year of the new hybrid version of Fiat 500 city car, one of the key models for Stellantis' future, expected to revive the factory after several stoppages due to low demand for the fully electric version of the 500.
