TURIN -- Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is cutting Maserati production as demand for the brand's luxury sports cars slows after record sales last year, according to a union at the automaker.
The number of shifts at FCA's Grugliasco plant near Turin has been reduced to 10 a week from 12, a union official said. The plant builds the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte, which are the brand's best-sellers.
"Fiat has told us that workers at the Grugliasco plant will be working for three weeks out of four up until July," said Federico Bellono, CGIL union leader in Turin. "The company is predicting production of about 30,000 to 35,000 cars at Grugliasco this year. I think it will be closer to 30,000,"
Bellono toldAutomotive News Europe. The plant employs about 2,800 workers.
FCA declined to comment on any changes in production.
Maserati's global sales were up 137 percent to 36,448 last year, with the Ghibli accounting for 23,500 deliveries, followed by the Quattroporte with a volume of 9,500, according to a Jan. 12 press release.
