"According to the press release issued in Turin by the Fiat Group when the plans were announced on February 16: "The plan centers around a 500 million euro investment (to begin in the second half of 2011) for production of a new E-segment Maserati for international distribution." Originally this niche luxury executive model, dubbed by the press as the "baby Quattroporte", was proposed to be built at the Chrysler Group's Brampton Assembly Plant, which is located in Ontario, Canada, the new car to be spun off the architecture of the now heavily facelifted Chrysler 300 and its close platform sister, the Dodge Charger, both of which were launched at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month.
The press release from Fiat added that: "Start of production is planned for December 2012." However almost immediately was the deal announced than it floundered after strong union resistance to the sweeping new conditions and it has taken three months of negotiations to finally arrive at an agreement between the two parties this morning so that initial production target date is likely to fall back. However it is known that the development of the project is already at quite an advanced stage. Fiat added that: "Once fully operational, the plant will produce up to 50,000 cars per year with a progressive return to full utilisation of the workforce." When Fiat bought the plant the year before last it stated that production capacity was around 48,000 units per year, while the unions claimed the factory, which is a surprising large complex for a niche company, could build up to 100,000 cars per year. While Maserati numbers will be tiny, the architecture will also underpin new models for the Fiat and Chrysler Groups.
Fiat says that at the present moment that Maserati's plant in Modena isn't under threat by this development, and "will continue its existing production activities." Shells for the Trident's two models, the F-segment Quattroporte and GranTurismo models, are already manufactured at a Fiat Group Automobiles (FGA) facility within the Grugliasco industrial complex and then shipped to Modena."
Для Masrati это не в новинку - ибо раньше Мазер принадлежал Крайслеру. Брррр.....
