STELLANTIS NV will extend production halts at its Mirafiori plant in Italy for an additional week, halting Fiat 500 output through mid-November. The stoppage marks the fourth consecutive week of inactivity at the historic Turin manufacturing site. The automaker faces mounting pressure as European automakers navigate persistent supply chain bottlenecks and softening consumer demand.
