The Italian government monitors Iveco's activities to guarantee production and employment continuity in the automotive sector.
Iveco is a strategic asset of Italian industry and a pride of Made in Italy. The commitments confirmed today by Tata Motors must translate into a concrete industrial relaunch, strengthening its production presence in Italy and competitiveness on international markets. The Minister of Business and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso said this during the Iveco table at Mimit.
During the meeting, Iveco CEO Olof Persson confirmed the investment plan for 2026, with over 76 million euros allocated to the Italian factories.
Specifically, it is 35 million in Turin, 15 in Foggia, 14 in Suzzara and 12 in Brescia. For Foggia he also recalled the 37 million already invested by Fpt Industrial for the transfer of production of the F5 engine.
The CEO of Tata Motors, the ministry underlined, instead highlighted the centrality of Italy in the future of Iveco, confirming the commitments already undertaken and specifying how Tata's investment has a long-term horizon, beyond the two-year duration of the non-financial guarantees.
For Urso, these are decisive weeks for the future of the European automotive industry and we will continue to fight for Europe to affirm the principle of technological neutrality, recognizing all the solutions capable of contributing to decarbonisation, without compromising the competitiveness of companies and the protection of employment. The ministry also assured that it will continue to monitor compliance with the commitments undertaken and the requirements established by the government, with attention to employment, production continuity, technology, research and industrial heritage.
