AMSTERDAM (HOLLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Despite continued challenges in the European market, Stellantis confirms resilience and commitment to its long-term strategy. Although sales in the industry have dropped everywhere in recent months, the strong performance of Stellantis’ brands in different countries underscores its ability to handle difficult market conditions. Stellantis thus ends the third quarter of the year with 17.6 percent share in EU29 markets and maintains its solid position in second place in the European ranking. The Dodge and Jeep® brands achieved excellent results, increasing their sales compared to last year. The Group is #1 in France, Italy and Portugal, both in September and year-to-date. Stellantis maintained 30% of the market share in the total year in France and over 31% in Italy, with 5 models among the top 10 best-selling cars in both countries. In France, best-selling models include Peugeot 208, 308, 2008, 3008, and Citroèn C3, while in Italy they include Fiat Panda, Lancia Ypsilon, Citroèn C3, Peugeot 208, and Jeep Avenger, which is also the best-selling SUV. In Germany, sales grew more than 9 percent, with several brands posting double-digit increases and maintaining market share at around 14 percent. Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ireland, Romania, and Slovenia also posted significant sales increases.Stellantis Pro One ranked #1 in the commercial vehicle market with a 29% share and 1% growth in sales over the total year, along with progress in the BEV segment.In Germany, this growth was particularly significant, with 3 percentage points increase in market share and a 25% increase in sales. Sales also grew in the Netherlands (+21%), Spain (+20%) and Portugal, with Austria still leading the VC market. “We are going through one of the most difficult periods our industry has ever faced, but Stellantis remains focused and committed to creating value for its customers,” said Uwe Hochgeschurtz, Stellantis’ chief operating officer for Wider Europe. “Our performance shows that we are able to adapt and take advantage of opportunities even in times of market downturn. Our future prospects are strengthened by the successful launch of Leapmotor, with the first 1,200 units of T03s and C10s distributed to dealers in European markets, supported by a network of more than 250 outlets ready to welcome customers. “While the electric market slows down, Stellantis is experiencing steady growth thanks to its wide range of BEVs, PHEVs and MHEVs. BEVs captured a 13 percent share of the total year in EU29 markets, and in France volumes grew by more than 34 percent, with Peugeot E-208 establishing itself as the best-selling EV in the first nine months of the year.
