Sergio Marchionnne, chief executive officer of the Fiat Group, said in a statement: “The commitment, passion and determination with which Luca De Meo faces great challenges is the best guarantee for Alfa Romeo’s relaunch plan and the development of marketing activities across all Fiat Group brands.”
