Stellantis N.V. is a Dutch-domiciled multinational automotive manufacturer, formed in 2021 on the basis of a 50-50 cross-border merger between the Italian Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French PSA Group, and headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[7][8] On 15 May 2021, Stellantis is the eighth-largest automaker worldwide (behind Volkswagen Group, Toyota, Daimler AG, Ford, Honda, General Motors and BMW).[citation needed]

The principal activity of Stellantis is the design, development, manufacture and sale of automobiles bearing the Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS, Fiat, Fiat Professional, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Mopar, Opel, Peugeot, Ram and Vauxhall brands. It is one of the largest automakers in the world and has 400,000 employees, a presence in more than 130 countries with manufacturing facilities in 30 countries.[9]

History

In early 2019, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) sought a merger with French automaker Renault, and reached a provisional agreement with the company.[10] However, the behaviour of the French government during negotiations led to the abandonment of the deal; The Economist reported that "for FCA this portended future interference."[11] Nissan also had various concerns of the impact of the proposal on its alliance with Renault.[11]

Subsequently, FCA approached PSA. The merger, officially agreed in December 2019, was to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker by global vehicle sales with expected annual cost savings of €3.7 billion, or approximately $4.22 billion.[8]

On 21 December 2020, the European Commission announced its approval of the merger, while imposing minimal remedies to ensure competition in the sector.[12]

The merger was approved on 4 January 2021 by the shareholders of both FCA and PSA and the deal completed on 16 January 2021. Common shares of the new company began trading on the Milan Stock Exchange (MTA) and Euronext Paris on 18 January 2021 and on the New York Stock Exchange on 19 January 2021, in each case under the ticker symbol "STLA".[13][14][15] As of 24 May 2021, all brands have already been part of the Stellantis group.

The name Stellantis is exclusively used to identify the corporate entity, while group brand names and logos remain unchanged.[8]

The group plans to have 39 electrified vehicle models available by the end of 2021,[16] using four main EV platforms to be developed by the end of the decade.[17][18]
