Overview
- Mulhouse will shut its final assembly line from 27 October to 2 November, affecting about 2,000 of roughly 4,700 employees making the 308, 408 and DS7.
- Sochaux will cancel multiple October shifts due to supplier shortfalls tied to a high share of PHEV and Long Range versions of the 3008 and 5008, impacting about 2,500 of 6,500 staff.
- Stellantis says the pauses help align output with softer demand and manage year‑end inventories, with downtime used for maintenance and training.
- Unions report income losses of roughly 15–16% per non‑worked day and point to component bottlenecks, including early battery production constraints at ACC and other suppliers.
- Poissy remains on three weeks of partial unemployment announced earlier in October, fueling worker anxiety over the site’s future as the group’s sales fall nearly 10% year to date and H1 shows a €2.3 billion net loss.
