L’industria automobilistica a Melfi tra mancato sviluppo endogeno e transizione all’auto elettrica

The Stellantis plant in Melfi was Fiat’s last major investment in Southern Italy in the first half of the 1990s. Although it had a large production capacity and a considerable number of employees, its impact on the rest of the local economic has always been very limited. Furthermore, the current shift to electric cars risks further impoverishing the first-level local supply chain localized at the time, due among other things, to the lack of more binding public policies and in relation to reorganization of supply chain by Stellanis.
