Alfa Romeo recently revealed the Milano crossover, marking a significant departure for the brand. However, plans to produce the model outside of Italy have sparked controversy, with the Italian government citing legal concerns.
Despite potential cost savings, the decision to manufacture the Milano abroad conflicts with Italian law, which requires products bearing Italian names to be produced within the country. This poses a challenge for Alfa Romeo as it seeks to expand its global presence while adhering to domestic regulations.
The Milano, set to be produced in Poland, will be offered in both hybrid and electric variants, showcasing Alfa Romeo’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. As the brand navigates these legal hurdles, it remains to be seen how this will impact its plans and relationships with the Italian government.
