Strategic measures have been implemented across all Acc sites to optimize our operational performance and financial sustainability, to ensure that the contribution to the transition towards electric mobility takes place from a position of resilience and economic solidity. While various scenarios are being evaluated, we have entered into a constructive dialogue with representatives of the works council in Germany and with trade unions in Italy to work on the conditions relating to the possible interruption of the gigafactory projects of Kaiserslautern e Termoli».
