Stellantis’ Carlos Tavares has stated that he has received several offers to acquire Alfa Romeo
The CEO of the automotive group born from the merger of Fiat Chrysler and PSA confessed that he had received many proposals to sell the Alfa Romeo brand, but that he had refused without even thinking about it. Tavares explained that the historic Italian brand is the biggest jewel in Stellantis’ crown and, as such, he would never give it up. This is not the first time that Tavares has expressed his love for the Italian brand and he has made similar statements in the past.
Carlos Tavares confessed that he had received pressure both inside and outside Stellantis to get rid of one of its brands, but that he had decided not to give up any of them with the aim of relaunching them all. Most of the brands under the Stellantis umbrella are demonstrating the new vision with the relaunch of brands such as Lancia, which will return to Europe with its models after years of hiatus, Dodge with the new Charger, Fiat with Panda and Multipla and DS Automobiles. Alfa Romeo itself will undergo a general reorganization and will launch a new model on the market every year, starting with the Milano, which is the first in a long series.
