Since the end of 2012 the Fiat plant in Mirafiori in Turin will churn out 280 thousand vehicles per year. Will be the new compact SUV that will be released under the brands Alfa Romeo (about 130 thousand units planned) and Jeep. It was established late last week, when the leaders of Chrysler have decided on the allocation of € 1.3 billion to convert the assembly lines in Turin for the production of the first SUV in the history of the centuries-old ultra Alfa (not to mention the jeep "Matta" of the fifties and sixties).
Those constructed for Jeep, however, replace the current Compass and Patriot. This connects to relaunch Alfa in the States, provided their own in late 2012 and early 2013. But it represents at the same time, the revival of Mirafiori. A site, started in 1939, both of which you are talking about at this time about the fate of more than 5 thousand workers who work there.
A facility built in 2006 and over 200 thousand cars in 2010 fell to just over 100 thousand. Today, the production includes the Fiat Idea, Lancia Musa and the Alfa Romeo MiTo. For the new Alfa SUV-Jeep Mirafiori was chosen to ensure a high quality product that can compete with those who will be direct competitors in the segment: the Audi (the Q5) and BMW (with the X1 and X3).
