Something Bold Is Coming From Alfa Romeo: New Stelvio Coming?
Alfa Romeo, like Maserati, isn't in a good place right now. The Stellantis-led marque is in dire need of a turnaround plan with the world's fifth-largest automaker confirming that a major strategy review is in the pipeline for the Italian marques, spearheaded by a new CEO. Wasting no time putting that plan into action, Alfa Romeo has announced a big reveal is set to take place on June 10, 2025, at 4:30 PM CEST (10:30 AM EDT) with the following post shared on it social media accounts: "A new chapter is about to begin. Bold, unexpected, unmistakably Alfa Romeo." So, what is the premium Italian brand cooking? It's no secret that Alfa Romeo is working on the next-generation Stelvio, its best-selling model. Despite being hit by an issue concerning the switch to a hybrid powertrain, the timing's just right. The eight-year-old Stelvio is aging, and the automaker needs to entice fans with a new model. The next-gen Stelvio will use Stellantis' STLA Large platform, which underpins the unpopular Dodge Charger Daytona EV – an architecture flexible enough to cater to both pure EV and hybrid setups. The switch from the previous all-electric powertrain plan to hybrid isn't as easy as flicking a switch, though. That said, we don't expect any powertrain details if this is indeed the new Stelvio, only a look at its new design, which was recently shared via the following patent images. But if it's not a new model, then what else could the teaser be referring to? As you can see in the single teaser provided, the imagery shows the Alfa Romeo badge with a glowing red equilateral triangle. Alfanatics will recognize the triangle from Autodelta, Alfa Romeo's historic racing division. Could Alfa Romeo be about to announce a return to motorsport? Or could it be ready to launch a performance model that harkens to classic Alfas that Autodelta worked on. Whatever Alfa Romeo's planning, we only have a couple of days to find out. So stay tuned.

Stellantis to cut up to 200 jobs through voluntary exits at Italy's Termoli plant
May 8 (Reuters) - Carmaker Stellantis ( opens new tab has agreed with trade unions to implement up to 200 voluntary redundancies at its Termoli plant in central Italy, the company said on Thursday. The announcement follows similar ones on Wednesday and last month for other Italian plants, allowing the Fiat-maker to reduce its workforce in the country by up to some 1,000 employees. The initiative is part of the company's strategy aimed at rejuvenating its workforce in Italy, which recently included around 300 new hires in Turin, the historic home city of Fiat, and Atessa in central Italy, Stellantis said in a statement. The company has fewer than 40,000 staff in Italy, down from 55,000 in early 2021, when it was created through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot maker PSA. "Stellantis reaffirms that Italy is at the centre of the group's strategies," it said. Stellantis presented a plan to the Italian government last December to revitalise its output in the country, following years of declining production but the benefit is not expected to be felt until next year. In March, Stellantis began preparatory activities at the Termoli plant for installing a production line dedicated to electric Dual Clutch Transmission (eDCT) gearboxes for current and future hybrid vehicles. With this development, Termoli became the third Stellantis production hub alongside Mirafiori in Turin and Metz in France. Termoli was also one of the sites that Stellantis-led joint venture ACC picked to build its three EV battery making plants in Europe, although ACC subsequently put the plans for gigafactories in Italy and Germany on hold due to sluggish market demand for electric vehicles.
