Stellantis Shipments Fall on North America Summer Shutdowns

Stellantis reported an estimated 1% decline in third-quarter vehicle shipments as planned summer production shutdowns in North America and a drop in the Turkish market offset growth in European electric-vehicle deliveries. The company linked the weaker overall figure to the temporary halts in production across North America, which reduce output during the summer period, and to softer demand or supply conditions in Turkey. At the same time, European EV shipments increased, cushioning the impact for the group. The latest update follows a quarter marked by uneven regional performance as Stellantis balances capacity and demand.
