Stellantis NV is a multinational automotive company formed from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Peugeot S.A. The company was officially established on January 16, 2021, after the completion of the merger. The merger brought together two well-established automotive giants, creating one of the largest automakers in the world in terms of vehicle sales and revenue.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) was originally founded in 2014 through the merger of Fiat S.p.A and Chrysler Group LLC. Fiat S.p.A, founded in 1899 in Turin, Italy, has a long history in the automotive industry and was known for producing iconic cars like the Fiat 500 and Fiat Panda. Chrysler Group LLC, on the other hand, was founded in 1925 in the United States and was well-known for its brands like Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram.
Peugeot S.A, on the other hand, has an even longer history, dating back to 1810 when the Peugeot family began manufacturing coffee mills and bicycles. It later transitioned to manufacturing automobiles, and the Peugeot brand became one of the most well-known and respected automotive brands in Europe.
As a result of the merger, Stellantis NV now operates in key automotive markets worldwide, allowing them to leverage economies of scale, share technologies, and expand their global presence. The merger has positioned the company to be more competitive in the rapidly evolving automotive industry and to invest in innovation and sustainable mobility solutions.
As of its founding, Stellantis NV operates as a global automotive group with a diverse portfolio of brands, including Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Vauxhall, and Alfa Romeo, among others. They produce and sell a wide range of vehicles, from compact cars to luxury sedans, SUVs, trucks, and commercial vehicles.
The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol "STLA" and on the Borsa Italiana in Milan under the same ticker symbol. Stellantis also has secondary listings on Euronext Paris and the Mercato Telematico Azionario (MTA) in Milan.
