Overview
- Stellantis confirmed temporary production halts at several European sites, citing difficult market conditions and the need to balance stock.
- Reports identify affected factories in Poissy (France), Pomigliano near Naples (Italy), Tychy (Poland), Eisenach (Germany), and the Spanish plants in Saragossa and Madrid.
- Timing varies by site and source, with Stellantis and local spokespeople confirming pauses such as Pomigliano from around September 29 and Poissy in mid to late October, while reported day counts differ.
- The moves follow a weak first half of 2025, when revenue fell about 13% and global deliveries declined 7%, with management also pointing to pressure from U.S. tariffs.
- Outlets note rising competition from Chinese EV makers and Stellantis’s Leapmotor venture as a strategic backdrop, while speculation about a potential Alfa Romeo sale remains unconfirmed.
