In Pomigliano d'Arco, concern is growing for the future of the Stellantis plant, which has been severely tested by a sharp decline in production and the massive use of unemployment benefits.
2025 ended with a total production of 131.180 vehicles, marking a -21,9 percent decrease compared to 2024, a figure that weighs like a blow to the employment prospects of male and female workers.
The production situation appears increasingly fragile. The Alfa Romeo Tonale continues to lose ground: production fell 32 percent, stopping at 17.200 units, despite a timid sign of recovery seen in the last quarter of the year thanks to the launch of a new version of the model.
The situation is even more critical for the Dodge Hornet, which has been essentially at a standstill for months: only 1.360 cars were assembled during 2025.
The Fiat Panda, despite a decline, remains the most produced model both at the Pomigliano plant and in Italy. With 112.690 units produced, the Panda represents 53 percent of domestic volumes, but still records a 14 percent decline compared to the previous year.
The production downsizing has had a direct impact on work organization. During 2025, 91 days of downtime were recorded on the Tonale-Hornet line and 57 on the Panda line. During periods of total production shutdown, the impact affected between 1,000 and 3.750 workers.
Further deepening the uncertainty is the solidarity contract in place since July, which affects an average of 39 percent of the workforce. This figure confirms the climate of alarm at the Campania plant and fuels concerns about the industrial and employment future of one of the most important production sites in Southern Italy.

The situation at the Stellantis plant in Pomigliano d'Arco is truly worrying. The production decline is significant, and social safety nets aren't the ideal solution. I hope they can find a way to improve things.
