MILAN (Reuters) - Production of passenger cars and vans at Stellantis' Italian plants fell 9.8% year-on-year in the first three months of this year to 170,415 units, the FIM-CISL union said on Friday.

"This takes Stellantis further away from the one million output target" the automaker is discussing with the Italian government, the head of FIM-CISL Ferdinando Uliano said, presenting a quarterly report on Stellantis' production levels.

FIM-CISL projects a full-year output of 630,000 vehicles in 2024, down from 751,000 last year, based on first-quarter data and assuming auto purchase incentives announced by the government do not reverse the ongoing trend.
