AMSTERDAM (OLANDA) (ITALPRESS) – Stellantis has published its estimates of consolidated deliveries for the first quarter of 2026. The term “consigns” identifies the volumes of vehicles delivered to the network, distributors or directly to end customers and fleets, which determine the collection of revenues.
Consolidated deliveries for three months concluded on 31 March 2026 are estimated at 1.4 million units, with an increase of 12% compared to the previous year. The increase is largely attributable to enlarged Europe and North America, also supported by the growth of annual deliveries in the Middle East & Africa and South America.
North America has recorded an increase of deliveries of approximately 54 thousand units compared to the same period of 2025, an increase of 17% on an annual basis. This improvement reflects a strengthening of trade momentum in the region. The deliveries of the Ram 1500 (light-duty) HEMI V8, the upgrade of Jeep« Grand Wagoneer, and the new Jeep Cherokee contributed more than 100% of the growth compared to the previous year, partially offset by the drop in deliveries of Jeep Compass, linked to the increase in production of Jeep Cherokee, also produced in the Toluca plant.
In enlarged Europe, deliveries in the first quarter increased by about 69 thousand units, an increase of 12% on an annual basis. The volumes of light commercial vehicles (LCV) remained stable at 135 thousand units. The growth of volumes for passenger vehicles is attributable to new launches. The deliveries of FIAT, Opel/Vauxhall and Citroen benefited from the performance of the models on the Smart Car platform (Citroen C3, C3 Aircross, Opel/Vauxhall Frontera, Fiat Grande Panda) that have grown of approximately 48 thousand units, an increase of 85% on an annual basis. The Leapmotor branded vehicles have seen a strong commercial acceleration, with deliveries in increase of 22 thousand units, attesting to 27 thousand units. This is attributable to the success, particularly in Italy, of the Leapmotor T03 model, in the BEV segment accessible in Europe.
In the Middle East & Africa, deliveries increased by 11 thousand units, an increase of 11% on an annual basis, mainly driven by Turkey (approximately + 12 thousand units). This significant improvement mainly reflects the benefits of standardization in stock dynamics and a growing commercial performance in Turkey, thanks to the introduction of the new Citroen and Opel Smart Cars. Algeria has also made a positive contribution thanks to the progressive increase in local production. Deliveries in the Gulf Cooperation Council have decreased by more than 50%, reaching approximately 3 thousand units.
In South America, deliveries increased by about 8 thousand units, equal to an increase of 4% on an annual basis, to be attributed to Brazil, where deliveries recorded an increase of about 17 thousand units (+11% on an annual basis), reflecting a more favorable market context. This trend was partially offset by a decline in deliveries in Argentina of about eight thousand units (-19% on an annual basis), due to the decline in the sector and the pressure exerted by the new Chinese operators. Stellantis has maintained its leadership in regional deliveries, as well as in its two major markets, Brazil and Argentina.
