Stellantis

Global automaker Stellantis announced today that it has successfully met its objectives for reducing dealer inventories across the United States, marking a significant step in its operational strategies.

Strategic Inventory Management

As the fourth quarter came to a close, Stellantis reported a substantial reduction in US dealer inventories, with a decrease of 80,000 vehicles sequentially, stabilizing the figure just above 300,000. This move is part of a broader strategy to optimize supply chain efficiencies and better align production with current market demands.

Impact on North American and Global Shipments

The inventory reduction correlates with a downturn in North American shipments, which fell by 115,000 vehicles compared to the same period last year, totaling 295,000 vehicles for the quarter. On a global scale, Stellantis saw a decrease in shipments, with 1.4 million vehicles shipped in the fourth quarter—down by 144,000 vehicles from the previous year. The decline was primarily concentrated in North America, although European markets also experienced a reduction, with shipments down by 44,000 vehicles.
