The compact SUV (by American standards) from Dodge will have a major specialty Industrial Inclusion for Italy Because it will be produced at the Giambattista Vico factory in Pomigliano d’Arco. This additional model will give an extra boost to production for the plant, and as the Fim Cisl trade union announced at the beginning of July, “confirmation Produce From Pandas to 2026 and an increase in production by Tonale and Hornet puts the plant into potential full employment, adding an additional turnaround, zeroing in on SSNs.

Interesting numbers In these turbulent times, it’s not easy to appreciate the production of different models, but Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato tried it. interview by Europe Car News In fact he said Alfa Romeo would be happy to sell it 30000 tons in this first year marketing. According to the manager, Tonale’s annual global sales potential can lie Between 70,000 and 80,000 units, with Europe that can accommodate 45,000 to 60,000 units with the United States winning another 10-15,000 cars.
