A piece of Mirafiori becomes all Stellantis. It happens starting from February 1, when the joint venture with the Belgian multinational Punch PowerTrain and the sector of new Hybrid Edct changes will be dissolved will pass 100% in the hands of the heir group of PSA and FCA.
Currently that department, inaugurated last April in the historic Turin factory (the frame of the “famous” selfie between Tavares, Cirio and Lo Russo), has about 830 people, of whom 780 on loan from other bodies in layoffs, with a production of 300 thousand Cambi. In anticipation, the fee should get up to get to 500 thousand.
The joint venture was born in 2018 and the decision directly concerns not only the Turin factory, but also the Metz plant in France. The changes made in Turin contain cutting -edge hybridization technology that integrates a 21 kW electric motor in a dual clutch transmission. The engine provides electric propulsion when you need less driving torque, as in the city or at constant speed, allowing the internal combustion engine to remain off for 50% of the time in the urban cycle. Consequently, the EDCT transmission, structurally characterized by a considerable containment of the weight and production costs, is also distinguished by its positive effects on fuel saving and on harmful substances emissions.
Stellantis’ decision to manage the Edct development and production process directly in line with the strategic plan of expansion and renewal of the offer of the Mhev and Phev range.
