CTOnews.com, January 22 (Xinhua)-- Stellantis will stop production at its Atessa van factory in Italy next week due to a shortage of parts.
The FIM, UILM and Fismic unions said in a statement that the shutdown would affect most of the workers at the plant. Nicola Manzi, local director of the UILM metal machinery union, said the shortage involved parts that use microchips, as well as other small parts.
