Fiat Cassino, began the challenge "premium" for the relaunch of the Alfa
The focus at the Fiat plant in Piedimonte San Germano is focused on the transition under way among the layoffs for reorganization (intended to assist the company in the construction of the assembly line of the Giulietta with the structural adaptation of the most Short used until two years ago for the Fiat Croma), and the layoff for restructuring which will start in January to support wages during the period of time necessary to equip the long assembly line where, for the first time, will be used platforms that will allow the long-awaited return to rear-wheel drive cars for Alfa Romeo.
The transition from one type of layoff will be preceded by a meeting between the company and union signatory organizations will be established in which all the steps which will mark the return of the plant to the saturation of the lines and full employment.
For sure we are in the most difficult phase for the site of Piedimonte even if it is a time of great enthusiasm because it is a prelude to the revival of the plant connected to the revitalization of a historic global prestige brand of Made in Italy from the likes of Alfa Romeo.
It must be said that the Alfa Giulia is engineered for some time and then simply waits ramp up production of new systems. This phase should take place before next summer and execute a program that allows the launch of the new car market within the first months of 2016 In the meantime, teams of engineers are also at work at the Maserati factory in Modena, where the prototypes of the Giulia are ready and where, however, he becomes familiar with the new platform. The production mission for Piedimonte will be challenging because we talk about the first model in the premium range product on the site Cassino and cars destined for export, not only in Europe, as has happened to date, but also overseas. From here a bet of quality that puts the production site and the area in direct competition with globalization and, in particular, with the fearsome German competition.
