The plan follows a €22.3 billion (~$25.9 billion) cash flow loss and a major restructuring effort in recent years, as the car maker continues working to stabilize its business. Meanwhile, the STLA price was down about 4% in premarket trading, extending the decline by over 6% in real time following the announcement.
Stellantis Allocates Major Investment Toward New Vehicles
Stellantis said it will allocate €36 billion(~$41.9 billion) toward its automotive brands under its new five-year plan, as it looks to strengthen its global vehicle lineup. The investment will support more than 60 new vehicles and over 50 refreshed models, while also covering a mix of electric vehicles, hybrids, and internal combustion engine models.
In addition, the company will invest €24 billion (~$27.9 billion) in platforms and new technologies, including the STLA One platform set to launch in 2027. This system will combine five platforms into a single scalable architecture, while targeting 20% cost efficiency and 70% component reuse by 2030.
Meanwhile, Stellantis will retain all 14 of its automotive subsidiaries as part of its global portfolio strategy, although DS will be integrated into Citroën, and Lancia will be merged into Fiat. The chairman of Stellantis and the CEO of Exor described the plan as “ambitious, but realistic,” noting that Fiat, Jeep, Ram, and Peugeot will remain key global brands of the company.
Stellantis Targets Efficiency Amid Global Competition
Stellantis plans to reduce its European production capacity by 800,000 units, while maintaining that no plant closures will take place. The car company also aims to reach 80% plant utilization across Europe and the United States by 2030, alongside broader efforts to improve efficiency and control costs.
At the same time, Stellantis is strengthening its global position through partnerships with popular car brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover, Leapmotor (HK:9863), and Dongfeng. This comes as competition from Chinese automakers intensifies in Europe, while the car maker balances collaboration with rivals and what it describes as a “freedom of choice” strategy across EVs, hybrids, and internal combustion vehicles.
