The automaker faces significant shipment declines globally, with North America experiencing a sharp 36% drop due to production cuts and inventory reductions.
- Stellantis' global shipments fell to 1.15 million vehicles in the third quarter, down from 1.43 million last year.
- The company has cut its 2024 profit forecast and expects to burn through more cash than anticipated.
- North American shipments decreased by 171,000 vehicles, partly due to planned production cuts ahead of new model launches.
- Despite shipment declines, Stellantis' U.S. market share increased to 8% in September.
- Shipments in Europe also fell by 17%, impacted by delayed product launches, including the Citroen C3.
