Stellantis reported a strong start to the second quarter, with preliminary global vehicle shipments increasing 10% year-on-year to nearly 1.6 million units, fueled by robust demand in North America and solid gains across Europe. The automaker said the performance reflects the success of its refreshed product lineup and the continued rollout of new models across key markets. North America delivered the strongest growth, with vehicle shipments jumping 38% from a year earlier to approximately 445,000 units.

The increase was supported by strong customer demand for newly launched and updated vehicles, including the V8-powered Ram light-duty pickup, the new Ram 1500 TRX SRT, the refreshed Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the updated Chrysler Pacifica. Stellantis also benefited from the continued production ramp-up of the all-new Jeep Cherokee and Dodge Charger, which helped boost regional deliveries. The company also posted positive results in its Enlarged Europe region, where shipments rose 5% year-over-year.

Growth was driven by recently introduced models such as the Citroën C3, Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel Frontera, and Fiat Grande Panda, highlighting continued demand for Stellantis' latest offerings in the European market. Performance in other regions was more mixed. Vehicle shipments across the Middle East and Africa declined 3%, with Stellantis attributing the weakness to ongoing regional conflict that affected market conditions and operations.

South America also recorded a 3% decline in shipments during the quarter, while Asia Pacific deliveries remained broadly unchanged compared with the same period last year. The preliminary shipment figures indicate that Stellantis continues to benefit from its strategy of refreshing core vehicle models and expanding its lineup across major markets. Strong momentum in North America and steady growth in Europe helped offset softer performances in other regions, positioning the global automaker for a solid second-quarter performance as investors await its full financial results.
