While the choice of Benedetto Vigna might seem an odd fit for Ferrari, he will bring key software/hardware competences to the automaker as it moves into the electrification and digitalization era.

Roberto Fedeli is the new chief technology officer at Silk-FAW, a joint venture between Chinese automaker FAW and Silk EV, a U.S.-based automotive engineering and design company.

Stellantis has chosen the top executives in its engineering organization following the FCA-PSA merger in January.

Ferrari said that the aspirated V-12 engines in the 812 Competizione coupe and its sibling, the 812 Competizione Aperta roadster, are central to the automaker despite a move toward electrification.

Alfa Romea CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato praised the current two-model lineup — the Giulia sedan and Stelvio crossover — as "fantastic" vehicles and confirmed two more nameplates will debut in the next couple of years.

To fix Alfa Romeo, PSA veteran Jean-Philippe Imparato must tackle slumping sales, a shrunken lineup and unprofitable selling practices. He also plans to infuse his new leadership team with his passion for the storied sports-car marque.

The rear-wheel, all-wheel drive Giorgio platform, hatched in 2014 and designed to support multiple brands, focused on driving dynamics and was key to plans to transform Alfa Romeo into a global challenger to German premium rivals.

The automaker will unveil the car in 2025, the automaker's chairman, John Elkann, told shareholders.

The Tonale will have a key role in reviving the flagging fortunes of Alfa Romeo because it will compete in the booming compact crossover segment.

Stellantis, whose brands include Opel, Jeep, Ram and Maserati, plans to have full-electric or hybrid versions of all of its vehicles in Europe, as well as its light-duty vehicles in the U.S., by 2025.

The vehicle to be built in Poland will be the first Fiat Chrysler model on a PSA Group platform as part of the Stellantis merger. It will be followed by small models from Alfa Romeo and Fiat.

More than 7,000 workers at the factory in Melfi, southern Italy, will be furloughed for a week. The plant builds the Jeep Compass and Renegade, and the Fiat 500X.

A joint venture that aims to build high-performance electric cars in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region will benchmark Ferrari and Porsche.

Multiple Alfa Romeo turnaround plans in the last 15 years have not worked. But Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said he will find ways to help the brand grow.

FCA CEO Mike Manley could receive nearly $63 million and CFO Richard Palmer $20 million after the merger with PSA closes, provided they remain at Stellantis and meet certain conditions, according to a shareholders' prospectus.
