Fiat plans to produce 5,000 units of new Fiat 500 Hybrid by 2025
The pre-production activity of the vehicle is already underway, adhering to Stellantis' strategic roadmap shared with the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy in December last year.
Production is scheduled to begin in November 2025.
This initiative is poised to rejuvenate the Turin facility, with plans to boost Fiat 500 Hybrid production by an additional 100,000 units annually.
The Fiat 500 Hybrid will be available in three configurations: the classic Hatchback, the 3+1 with a rear-hinged door, and the unique Cabrio convertible.
The vehicle is powered by the Italian-made 1.0L FireFly mild-hybrid engine, coupled with a six-speed manual transmission. This 12V electrical system is designed to optimise fuel efficiency.
The company said that the Fiat 500 Hybrid model is equipped with the Uconnect 5 system, with a 10.25in customisable touchscreen and a 7in digital display.
It will offer full wireless compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for smartphone integration.
Additionally, the Fiat 500 Hybrid features a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) such as lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and traffic sign recognition.
Stellantis global CMO and FIAT CEO Olivier François said: 'Bringing the 500 Hybrid back to Mirafiori is a promise kept—a win driven by a committed team that chose to bet on the customer and the future.
'This factory is more than just a production site; it's FIAT's home, the beating heart of a story that began in 1957 with Dante Giacosa and today stands as a hub of Stellantis innovation in Europe. Our industrial plan for Italy puts Mirafiori and the 500 at the centre of our revival.'
This June, Stellantis launched a voluntary redundancy scheme targeting 610 workers at the Mirafiori plant, as part of a workforce adjustment strategy within its operations in the country.

Dodge, Ram, And Jeep Vehicles Just Got A Major Tech Upgrade
Connected vehicles that work seamlessly with your mobile devices are in greater demand these days, which is why Stellantis has just announced two new Connected Services packages for Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat models. According to the automaker, these bundle the most popular features together to suit customer needs. The Connect ONE pack is free and active for 10 years from the date of purchase or lease. Positioned above this is Connect Wi-Fi Plus, a premium package with a free three-month trial or a monthly subscription. Let's see what each package offers in more detail. This is the standard package on most Stellantis brands, with a list of essential connectivity features to help owners stay safe, keep track of the vehicle's status, and more. The following features are included here: Basic navigationOver-the-air software updatesRemote lock and unlock through the brand appAutomatic SOS calls and recall notificationsVehicle health reports, alerts, and service schedulingIn-vehicle gamesCharging and management tools for EVs This pack also includes a Digital Key, which allows users to access and start the car with a smartphone. However, Stellantis says this will only be available at a later stage. With the new Connect ONE package, several services are available for twice as long as they were before, such as the service scheduling function. Remote lock/unlock was only available for three months, but is now included for a full 10 years. Related: 6 Modern Car Features That Are Actually Worth the Money This pack adds more advanced features. In the first 30 days of purchasing or leasing a new vehicle, customers can enroll for a three-month trial. Thereafter, this pack will cost $17.99 per month. For that, you get the following: Wi-Fi hotspotStolen vehicle trackingAdvanced remote operations, such as activating the climate control remotelyDrive alerts, like speedVoice assistantAlexa Built-inConnected navigation, including map updates and real-time traffic updates "We've been listening to our customers and simplifying connected services to give them more value, more clarity and more control," said Cristiani Campos, senior vice president of the software business unit, Stellantis. "By including essential software for the full life of the vehicle and bundling popular features like Wi-Fi, we are giving our customers a connected experience that works better for everyday needs." These packages will be available on new and used Jeep, Ram, Fiat, and Dodge models from this month, with Chrysler and Alfa Romeo models to follow shortly. Customers with existing, eligible models can activate the services from this month, but not all features are available on all models. Hopefully, the new tech works smoothly and doesn't diminish the initial quality rating of certain Stellantis models like Ram and Chrysler, which is already poor. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

Meta invests $3.5 billion in AI glasses partner EssilorLuxottica
-- Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META). has acquired a stake in EssilorLuxottica SA (OTC:ESLOY) valued at approximately $3.5 billion, according to Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter, reinforcing its strategic push into AI-powered eyewear. The acquisition of just under 3% in the Italian-French eyewear leader aligns with Meta's ambition to grow outside traditional platforms and advance in hardware innovation. The move builds on Meta's ongoing partnership with EssilorLuxottica, creator of Ray-Ban and Oakley, in co-developing smart glasses. Meta currently markets Ray-Ban smart glasses, incorporating features like embedded cameras and AI assistants, and more recently introduced a new line of Oakley-branded products enhanced with similar technology. Citing sources, Bloomberg reported that Meta may expand its stake to roughly 5% in the future, though no final decision has been made. The investment cements Meta's position as a strategic partner, while keeping its ownership as a minority investor. The transaction also illustrates Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's broader pivot toward artificial intelligence as a core growth pillar for the company. As AI development grows more capital intensive, smart glasses offer Meta a tangible consumer product through which it can deliver its AI capabilities. EssilorLuxottica CEO Francesco Milleri had signaled last year that a stake purchase by Meta was under consideration, though terms had yet to be finalized at the time. The deal's closing indicates growing confidence within both firms that smart eyewear is poised for mainstream adoption.

Brazilian club Botafogo hires son of Carlo Ancelotti as its manager
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian club Botafogo has hired the son of Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti as its new manager. The 35-year-old Davide Ancelotti was handed a contract through 2026 to take up his first full-time coaching job after Botafogo owner John Textor fired Renato Paiva following the team's round-of-16 elimination at the Club World Cup. The Italian has worked for more than a decade alongside his father in different roles at Bayern Munich, Napoli, Everton, and Real Madrid. He is also part of Ancelotti's staff at Brazil. Botafogo is the defending Brazilian and Copa Libertadores champion. Textor recently said he wanted his team to adopt a more attacking style of play. Brazil's soccer confederation said in a statement that Davide Ancelotti's deal with Botafogo allows him to continue working with the national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The younger Ancelotti is expected to make his debut on Saturday against Vasco da Gama in a Brazilian league match.
