Italy is demanding Dongfeng Motor Group Co. agree to safeguards on cybersecurity and data protection as the price of support for a new plant by the Chinese automaker, according to people familiar with the matter.
As talks advance with Dongfeng, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government is requiring components such as infotainment units be provided by local suppliers for security reasons, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing confidential negotiations. Italian officials also want consumer data to be collected and managed within the country, they said.
