Launch of future Chrysler models in the NAFTA zone 2022-2026
- By 2026, Chrysler (part of Stellantis) will launch several new models in the North American market. Other models will be redesigned or restyled. It is in 2024 that the carmaker will introduce the most new features.
- Chrysler: For the Chrysler brand, only the Airflow, an all-electric crossover model, has been announced for 2025.
- Dodge: The new Hornet GT model is planned for 2022 and a plug-in version of the Hornet R/T model for the first half of 2023. Two new electric models, the Charger Daytona and the Challenger, will be launched in 2024.
- Jeep: The brand will release the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L models in 2022. In 2024, the new Recon, Wagoneer S models, as well as Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer 4xe will be launched. It is possible that the Cherokee will be redesigned in 2025 and the Renegade in 2026.
- Ram: The year 2023 will see the launch of the ProMaster, based on the Fiat Doblo, and the year 2024 that of the Ram 1500.
- Even though Chrysler releases 11 more models than its competitor Ford, it is still behind the GM group, which will release 25 new models by 2026. This can also be explained by the fact that after the year 2024, during of which many new Chrysler models will be launched, only one model has been announced for 2025, the Chrysler Airflow, and that there will, at present, only be redesigned models in 2026.
- The carmaker will therefore release 5 electric vehicles, 5 thermal vehicles and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) by 2025.

This model available in a thermal version and in a battery electric version like the 2008 should be marketed only in the European market, unlike the Renegade.

Why Spain will be the largest BEV producer in 2030

Why Spain will be the largest BEV producer in 2030
The European country where the most 100% electric vehicles are expected to be produced in 2030 will not be France or Germany, but Spain. In fact, most automakers have announced their plans for the next five to six years regarding the production of vehicles in Spain with this type of propulsion, and we can see that they are numerous :
1. Zaragoza: production plant for the new Opel e-Corsa, Peugeot e-208, Lancia e-Ypsilon.
2. Villaverde: production site for the Citroën e-C4 and e-C4 X.
3. Vitoria: production site for Mercedes e-Vito.
4. Vigo: production site for Peugeot e-2008. Citroën e-Berlingo, Peugeot e-Partner, Opel e-Combo and their Toyota derivatives moved to the Ellesmere Port site in the UK.
5. Martorell: Production site for the future Volkswagen ID1/ID2 and their Skoda, Cupra and Audi derivatives.
6. Valencia: Possible production site for future Ford electric vehicles.
7. Pamplona: No electric models are currently planned.
The Martorell plant alone is planned to produce 500,000 electric vehicles per year. In total, Spain could produce 1.5 million electric vehicles in 2030, accounting for half of its automotive production, while Germany could produce 1.3 million and France 0.8 million electric vehicles at the same time.

Stellantis and Dongfeng decide to end their partnership
- 说明
Stellantis and Dongfeng decide to end their partnership
- The Stellantis Group, the result of the merger of the PSA (Peugeot-Citroën) and FCA (Fiat-Chrysler) groups in 2021, has decided to end its collaboration with the Chinese carmaker Dongfeng, with whom PSA had been working for around 30 years.
- This collaboration had been beneficial until 2014, a record year in which 750,000 PSA vehicles were produced by Dongfeng in China, after twenty years of uninterrupted growth (except for 2008). However, due to competition and marketing mistakes, this trend reversed from 2015. The decline of PSA production in China accelerated from 2016, with less than 100,000 PSA Group cars produced by Dongfeng in China in 2020. The establishment of Stellantis in 2021 did not really improve the situation. There was no real upturn in 2021 and 2022. At the same time, Dongfeng gradually withdrew from Stellantis' capital, from 6.1% to 3.2% in 2022, with the remaining shares to be sold in 2023.
- On the FCA Group side, the situation was no better. Its production in China has always been very weak and ended in 2022 with the bankruptcy of the joint venture with the Chinese GAC Group that produced Jeeps.
- Taken together, these difficulties convinced Stellantis' management to finally abandon the Chinese market (the largest automotive market in the world) and focus on the European and American markets, where the Stellantis Group has 19% and 12% of registrations (cars+LUVs), respectively, while it has only a 0.6% market share in China.
- Stellantis could therefore stop producing cars in China from 2024 or 2025.

The growth of BEVs is clear in China and the USA. For Europe, we are witnessing a slowdown.
- 说明
The growth of BEVs is clear in China and the USA. For Europe, we are witnessing a slowdown.
- Sales evolution of electrified vehicles (xEVs) in the three major regions of the world - China, Europe and the USA - appear in a contrasting manner.
- Regarding BEVs, growth is clear in China and the USA. For Europe, we are witnessing a slowdown, both in market share and in volume, over the last 9 months (from August 2022 to April 2023). However, we note in Europe a significant peak in December 2022 followed by a fall in January 2023. It is in China that BEV sales are the most dynamic, with a market share of 25% in April 2023, while the average market share over the year 2022 did not exceed 21%. In Europe, BEV sales represent 13% of the market in April 2023 and over the first four months of 2023, whereas we had reached a share of 14% over the whole of 2022. In the United States , BEVs represent 7.2% of the market in the first four months of 2023, compared to 5.8% in 2022.
- Regarding PHEVs, their market share in China in 2023 exceeded that recorded in Europe: 8.6% compared to 7.1%. Compared to 2022, there is a real slowdown in Europe, because at that time we had reached a market share of 9%. On the other hand, in China, growth continues because in 2022, the share of PHEV sales did not exceed 6.5%. In the United States, we observe a very slight progress: 1.6% over the first four months of 2023 against 1.4% in 2022.
- Regarding HEVs, their market share is shrinking both in China (2.9% over the first four months of 2023 against 3.2% in 2022) and in Europe (6.8% against 7.3 %). On the other hand, in the United States, their market share increased (6.4% against 5.4%).
