Stellantis sales were down 10% year-on-year in the period at 1.34 million units.

It said it had to build inventory following a prolonged period of supply constraints.
In North America, Q1 shipments were down 20%, due to mix and ‘portfolio transitions’, including refreshed Ram 1500 and new Dodge Charger. NA net revenues were down 15%, due to lower volumes and negative FX effects. European sales were down 6%, with revenues down 13% on lower volumes and ‘higher buyback commitments due to improving rental car business’.
In China, Stellantis Q1 shipments were down 46% at 15,000, ‘mainly driven by Peugeot, Jeep, Citroën and RAM due to challenging market and economic conditions and increasing competition’. Revenues were also down 46% on last year’s pace.
