Stellantis Pauses Output for Days at Six European Plants to Trim Stock

The automaker says it is throttling production to clear inventories in a soft European market.

Overview

  • Temporary suspensions will hit plants in Madrid, Zaragoza, Poissy, Eisenach, Tychy and Pomigliano over the coming weeks, the company confirmed.
  • Poissy is slated for a three‑week halt from 13 October to 3 November, with reported pauses of 15 days in Pomigliano, 14 in Madrid, nine in Tychy, seven in Zaragoza and five in Eisenach.
  • Stellantis said the goal is to align output with demand and manage accumulated vehicles as efficiently as possible before year‑end.
  • Vigo is operating under normal programming for now, though a planned strike at supplier Frenos y Conjuntos next week could disrupt deliveries, including brake discs to the plant.
  • The production pullback follows weaker sales in Europe this year, with company filings citing tariff‑hit imports, reduced fleet sales and model transitions; local reporting also notes ongoing competition for future van programs between Vigo and Bursa.
