Stellantis group is targeting the fourth place in the worldwide carmaker ranking
- The automotive group resulting from the merger of the PSA and FCA groups will be named Stellantis. The creation of the group has not yet been indorsed, pending the validation by the European Commission investigating, in particular, the subject relating to a possible monopoly of the group in light utility vehicles (LUV). The official creation of the group is therefore postponed until early 2021.
- In order to estimate the size of the future group and based on production data in the first half of 2020, Stellantis would have reached 2,632,599 units in the first half of 2020 (including 1,188,949 units for PSA and 1,443,650 units for FCA ), compared to 3,806,239 units for the Toyota group, 3,525,203 units for the Volkswagen group and 3,027,458 units for the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi group.
- Regarding Hyundai-Kia, the Korean group is performing well thanks to the absence of lockdown in South Korea, and would be close to the Stellantis group, with 2,621,795 units. Behind, the GM group is far away, with 2,291,326 units.
- The rank of fourth worldwide carmaker would therefore not have been granted for the Stellantis group in 2020. Everything will depend on the commercial performance achieved by this group and by the Hyundai-Kia group during the second half of the year, but in the absence of lockdown for this period to come, we can assume that the advantage that Korean carmakers benefited in the first half will not be renewed in the second, and therefore the Stellantis group would undoubtedly have a better chance of finishing the year in fourth position than the Korean group. The year 2021 will therefore confirm or not the 2020 scenario.
