Per Reuters, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. has made the announcement that it is spending over 5 billion euros ($5.7 billion) on its plants in Italy over the period between 2019 and 2021. The company will make this investment in new models and engines in order to utilize the factories in a better way as well as to boost jobs and margins.
The company intends to introduce 13 models in the next three years and is going to take necessary actions so that all plants in Italy operate at the full capacity. This latest move is in sync with the strategy outlined by Fiat Chrysler earlier when it committed to convert the Italian plants to produce high-margin Alfa Romeos, Jeeps and Maseratis as well as hybrid and electric vehicles.
