Stellantis’ combined shipments (including shipments by the company’s joint ventures) for the first nine months of 2023 increased by 10% year-over-year (y/y) to 4.805 million units. Shipments in all regions except the China and India & Asia-Pacific segments increased as semiconductor supply conditions improved. Its net revenues for the same period grew by 10.3% y/y to EUR 143.5 billion driven by strength in shipments and pricing policies.

Shipments in North America for the period of January-September 2023 increased by 6.6% y/y to 1.493 million units. In addition to the Chrysler brand, which was mainly driven by the Pacifica PHEV, the Dodge and Ram brands saw a growth in sales. In November 2023, the UAW (United Auto Workers) and Unifor (Canadian labor union) reached agreements with Stellantis in labor negotiations and new labor contracts were ratified. According to the contract with the UAW, Stellantis plans to invest USD 18.9 billion in its U.S. plants by April 2028.

In Europe (29 countries), Stellantis’s shipments for the first nine months of 2023 increased by 9.3% y/y to 2.077 million units.

The joint venture between Stellantis and Dongfeng Motor Group Corporation engages in the manufacture and sales of Peugeot and Citroen brand vehicles, but has been suffering from stagnant sales. In October 2023, Stellantis set up a joint venture with Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology Co., Ltd. (Leapmotor), an emerging Chinese EV manufacturer, to export, sell and produce Leapmotor’s EVs outside China.
