Stellantis has released its preliminary global shipment figures for the first quarter of 2025, estimating 1.2 million vehicles delivered worldwide—a 9% year-over-year decline. The dip primarily reflects production disruptions in North America and Europe tied to extended downtime and ongoing model transitions.
In North America, shipments fell by 82,000 units, marking a 20% decrease compared to Q1 2024. The decline was largely attributed to prolonged holiday shutdowns in January and slower production ramp-up for the newly updated 2025 Ram 2500 and 3500 heavy-duty trucks. Despite the setback, retail momentum showed signs of recovery. Notably, the Jeep Compass, Grand Cherokee, and Ram 1500/2500 each posted double-digit year-over-year growth in Q1, and March saw the strongest retail order intake since July 2023.
In Enlarged Europe, Q1 shipments declined by 47,000 units, or 8% year-over-year. Two-thirds of the drop was due to transition gaps from the discontinuation of older A and B-segment models, with the remainder stemming from weaker light commercial vehicle (LCV) volumes. However, Stellantis increased its EU30 market share to 17.3%, up 1.9 percentage points from Q4 2024, boosted by new launches including the Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel Frontera, and Fiat Grande Panda.
The company’s “Third Engine” markets—South America, Middle East & Africa, and China & India Asia Pacific—posted mixed results. Combined shipments rose 4% year-over-year, driven by a 19% increase in South America, where Stellantis remains the market leader. Growth in Brazil and Argentina helped offset declines in other regions, including a 15% drop in Middle East & Africa, where import restrictions in Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt impacted volumes.
These unaudited shipment figures represent deliveries to dealers and end customers, and final tallies will be included in Stellantis’ official revenue and shipment report.
Stellantis’ preliminary data reflects both ongoing operational challenges and signs of improving consumer demand tied to the company’s refreshed vehicle lineup across key global markets.
