Stellantis to Pause Production at Plants Due to Weak Demand

Stellantis NV will temporarily halt production at some of its plants in Europe, amid lagging demand for models including the Alfa Romeo Tonale sport utility vehicle.

The automaker will pause production of Tonale and Fiat Panda vehicles in Pomigliano, Italy from Sept. 29, the company said Tuesday after a meeting with local labor union representatives. Separately, Stellantis confirmed the halt of its Poissy plant near Paris from Oct. 13 to Oct. 31. It makes Opel and DS cars at the French site.
