Stellantis' Italian output to drop sharply if incentives don't change trend, union says
MILAN (Reuters) -Automaker Stellantis' output in Italy could drop by around a third this year if the government's recently introduced purchase incentives don't boost demand, especially for electric vehicles, the FIM-CISL union said on Monday. The union said output could fall to just over 500,000 vehicles from 751,000 last year, well below the one million target that Stellantis is discussing with the Italian government for the end of this decade.

EU tariffs hit growth in China's electric car exports, industry body official says
BEIJING (Reuters) -The prospect of European tariffs cut 20-30 percentage points off China's growth in exports of electric and plug-in hybrid cars in recent months, an official at a leading Chinese auto industry body said on Monday. Last week, the European Union introduced provisional tariffs of up to 37.6% on China-made electric vehicles (EVs) to safeguard against what it described as a potential flood of unfairly subsidised EVs - a move China strongly opposes. The EU also took steps in March that meant tariffs could be imposed retroactively.

Boeing accepts a plea deal to avoid a criminal trial over 737 Max crashes, Justice Department says
Boeing will plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge stemming from two crashes of 737 Max jetliners that killed 346 people, the Justice Department said late Sunday, after the government determined the company violated an agreement that had protected it from prosecution for more than three years. Federal prosecutors gave Boeing the choice last week of entering a guilty plea and paying a fine as part of its sentence or facing a trial on the felony criminal charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States. The plea deal, which still must receive the approval of a federal judge to take effect, calls for Boeing to pay an additional $243.6 million fine.
