Stellantis announced a 60 billion euro ($70 billion) strategic plan on Thursday, signaling a significant shift under new CEO Antonio Filosa, focusing on partnerships, core brands, and monetizing excess factory capacity. The five-year investment, revealed in Auburn Hills, Michigan, includes the launch of 60 new models across various powertrains by 2030, departing from the previous leadership's approach by embracing external collaborations.
The strategy involves expanding manufacturing partnerships with Chinese groups Leapmotor and Dongfeng, and technology collaborations with firms like Qualcomm and Wayve. This approach aims to share costs and accelerate development in areas such as software and autonomous driving. Stellantis also intends to leverage its manufacturing capacity by offering contract production to third parties, converting underutilized plants into revenue streams.
Under the new plan
Under the new plan, approximately 70% of brand and product investment will be concentrated on Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, Fiat, and the Pro One commercial vehicles division. Other brands, including Chrysler and Alfa Romeo, will be repositioned regionally, while Lancia and DS will assume specialized roles.
The company projects North American revenue to grow by 25% by 2030, with adjusted operating income margins of 8% to 10%, and European revenue to increase by 15% with margins of 3% to 5%. Investors reacted cautiously, with shares declining approximately 5.2% following the announcement.
