- North American market delivered exceptional performance with shipments soaring 38% to 445,000 units
- European region reported 5% growth reaching 762,000 units, driven by affordable vehicle lines

Stellantis delivered preliminary second-quarter shipment figures on Monday showing a 10% year-over-year increase to approximately 1.6 million vehicles. Shares traded flat at €4.84 during morning sessions in Milan.
The current €4.84 trading level sits barely above the €4.59 mark STLAM hit last week — representing the company’s weakest performance since its 2021 formation through the Fiat Chrysler and PSA combination.
The North American market emerged as the clear winner. Regional deliveries surged 38% during the three-month period to reach 445,000 vehicles, propelled by freshly launched and updated product offerings spanning multiple brand portfolios.
Major volume drivers included the Ram 1500 featuring its V8 powertrain, the performance-focused Ram 1500 TRX SRT variant, updated iterations of both the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Grand Cherokee models, plus the Chrysler Pacifica minivan. Production acceleration of the completely redesigned Jeep Cherokee and Dodge Charger provided additional momentum.
The automaker acknowledged that North American figures received a partial boost from inventory building ahead of a scheduled summer manufacturing pause.
European Territory Shows Moderate Gains Behind Entry-Level Products
The Enlarged European territory delivered a comparatively conservative 5% increase, pushing deliveries to 762,000 vehicles. Consumer preference gravitated toward economically priced offerings including the Citroën C3, Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel Frontera, and Fiat Grande Panda.
This total encompasses roughly 33,000 units from Chinese electric vehicle collaborator Leapmotor, which Stellantis markets throughout European territories.
Some geographical segments experienced headwinds. Middle Eastern and African deliveries contracted 3%, attributed by Stellantis to persistent regional instability. The South American market similarly declined 3%, pressured by Argentina’s challenging economic environment. Asia Pacific volumes remained essentially flat.
Recovery Strategy Under Examination
Chief Executive Antonio Filosa has positioned sales restoration at the core of his corporate transformation agenda. During May presentations, he unveiled a comprehensive €60 billion strategic roadmap extending through 2030, encompassing product pipeline expansion, brand portfolio restructuring, and strategic technology and production collaborations.
These Q2 delivery metrics provide preliminary validation that the strategy is showing promise, particularly across North American operations.
Stellantis confirmed it will publish complete second-quarter financial performance details on July 30.
Market observers maintain a reserved outlook regarding the wider European automotive industry, with Volkswagen navigating its own restructuring initiatives amid significant labor opposition.
