Uilm Campania said the collaboration between Stellantis and Leapmotor should become an industrial opportunity for the Pomigliano d'Arco plant, not only a commercial arrangement, according to ANSA.
The union said Pomigliano's skills and production capacity should be strengthened through investment, design activity, technology transfer, real production and employment guarantees. It warned against limiting the Campania plant to assembling components imported from China.
Stellantis has planned production of its small electric E-Car at Pomigliano starting in 2028, using technologies developed with selected partners. Chief executive Antonio Filosa indicated that cooperation with Leapmotor could extend to an Italian plant, and ANSA linked that possibility to the Pomigliano e-car project.
Stellantis and Leapmotor already operate a European industrial partnership in Zaragoza, where production of the Leapmotor B10 began in 2026. The exact contractual structure and operational role of Leapmotor at Pomigliano have not been publicly detailed.
The final model, production volumes, investment amount, employment impact and share of Italian or Campania-based supplier content also remain unclear. Uilm's demands are a trade-union position, not confirmed Stellantis commitments.
