This performance extends across Europe, with sustained growth in almost all countries and a remarkable 101% sales increase in April in Portugal.
Uwe Hochgeschurtz, Chief Operating Officer of Stellantis, said: “Our results for the first few months reflect the tough competition in the industry, in the absence of incentives in many key European markets. We are leading the transition to electrification in many of our key countries and our commercial vehicle offering remains unrivaled. The strong sales momentum, strong order book and improved order acquisition suggest a positive impact also in the second quarter. With the launch of over 25 new models produced in Europe, all brands together, we anticipate new dynamics throughout the year.”
