Stellantis Q3 Shipments Fall 1% as N. America Faces Production Shutdown

Stellantis Third-Quarter Performance Overview

Oct 13 (Reuters) - Franco-Italian automaker Stellantis said on Tuesday its global third-quarter shipments fell 1% from a year ago to an estimated 1.3 million vehicles, hit by a summer production shutdown in North America.

New Vehicle Launches and Strategic Initiatives

Stellantis is launching six new vehicles and unveiling nine concept cars at the Paris Motor Show this week, after CEO Antonio Filosa announced a €60 billion ($67 billion) turnaround plan in May, after two years of declining market share and weak sales.

Regional Shipment Breakdown

North America

• In North America, vehicle shipments dropped 12% to 357,000 units, mainly due to the shutdown that affected Jeep models like the Grand Cherokee and Compass, each down by 25,000 units year-on-year

Europe

• Europe shipments rose 10% to 588,000 units, the only region improving on a yearly basis, fuelled by demand for EV models

Leapmotor Partnership

• The European figure includes around 44,000 vehicles from Chinese partner Leapmotor, which Stellantis distributes in the region

Middle East and Africa

• Shipments in the Middle East and Africa fell 21% to 75,000 due to lower volumes in Turkey and Gulf Cooperation Council countries, impacted by conflicts in the region

Upcoming Financial Reporting
