Stellantis is undergoing a profound period of restructuring. It is the fourth largest car manufacturer in the world, but with 14 brands under its control, its management is, to say the least, complicated. In fact, it reminds us of a rival group that, over the last few years, has proven to be a real mess in terms of its management. We are referring to Volkswagen Group and all the problems they have had to manage the electrification of its brands…
Be that as it may It seems that Stellantis is going "more smoothly" and we can see that in their profits. Even though they have fallen so far this year, they are much higher than the sector average. The fact is that we recently learned that brands such as Maserati due to its financial losses. From then on, all kinds of rumours started to spread, believing that some of its brands would die or be sold. But it seems that will not be the case…
Stellantis confirms that the Dare Forward 2030 plan will remain in place without changes…
If you follow us continuously, you will know that Stellantis announced the Dare Forward 2021 plan in 2030. It not only dealt with the fit of all its brands, but also what its future plans would be. They were not very defined but it was an important outline to know what we could expect from each of its brands. In addition, it assured that all of them were going to have a 10-year period to show what they were capable ofWell, that time is still there…
With everything Maserati has announced losses And others have seen sales plummet. Then there are others whose ranges are pyrrhic (Dodge and Chrysler) and others that are going at a slower pace than initially. From there we have told you that, for example, the great-grandson of the founder of Chrysler had thought of buying Chrysler and its sister Dodge to "resurrect" them away from Stellantis. Although his plan is not better than that of Carlos Tavares...
Well, To cut all the rumors and problems associated with it, Stellantis has released an official statement. In it, it explains that it has no intention of selling any of the brands that orbit under its umbrella and that all of them have their future assured. At least, the initial 10 years that they announced to form their ranges and in which they should demonstrate whether or not they have a future. Therefore, it is settled de facto that there will be changes…
However, it does not say what will happen to loss-making brands beyond 2030…
At least officially, because we already know that things move behind the scenes. It was once said that Maserati could be sold or could return to sharing a structure with Ferrari. In itself, it would be one of the best solutions since in the past they shared mechanics and many components. But no, it will not be like that and the future seems to continue to be marked by the industrial plan of Stellantis.
Therefore, Lancia, DS o Abarth It seems that they also have their place at the Stellantis table assured. The problem is that there are news and investments until 2030, but beyond that, what is there? At the moment we do not know what will happen or if the commitment of the Italian-French-American group will continue as strong as until now. However, killing these without "ceremony" would be complicated at the very least, since There may be models that may not be able to be amortized..
We will have to wait for news because now that electrification is on "pause" Stellantis may change its plan and surprise us with models that were not in its plans until now. Whatever the case, 2030 is very close and we will all be very attentive to the investments that they make in each of their brands, as this will tell us which ones will remain alive. and which ones will die. The saying goes "Actions speak louder than words"
Let’s see where they end up…
