Stellantis N.V. is a giant company that makes cars. It was formed in 2021 when two large automakers, the French PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), joined together. FCA itself was a combination of Italy's Fiat and America's Chrysler.

Stellantis is one of the biggest car companies in the world. As of 2025, it was the fifth-largest automaker by the number of cars sold globally. The company's main office is in the Netherlands, but its CEO works from Auburn Hills, Michigan.

The company designs and sells vehicles for 14 famous brands. These include Jeep, Ram Trucks, Dodge, Peugeot, Citroën, and Fiat. Stellantis has factories in 30 countries and sells cars in over 130 markets around the world.

What does the name mean?

The name Stellantis comes from the Latin word stello, which means "to brighten with stars." The company chose this name to show it was a new, bright star in the car industry.

The "N.V." at the end of the name stands for Naamloze vennootschap. This is a Dutch term for a type of company whose shares can be bought and sold by the public.

History of Stellantis

How the company was created

In 2019, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the PSA Group decided to merge. A merger is when two companies join to become one. They agreed to combine to become the world's fourth-largest automaker. This would help them save money and share technology.

The merger was approved by the European Commission in December 2020. On January 16, 2021, the two companies officially became one. The new company was named Stellantis N.V. the next day.

After the merger, the biggest owners were the Agnelli family of Italy (who founded Fiat), the Peugeot family of France, and the French government's investment bank.

Growing and changing

The first CEO of Stellantis was Carlos Tavares. He announced that the company would focus on making electric cars. He planned to invest over €30 billion in electric vehicles and new software by the end of the decade.

In 2022, Stellantis had to pay a large fine to the U.S. government. This was because of problems with how some of its diesel engines worked. The company also stopped its operations in Russia because of international issues related to the invasion of Ukraine.

Stellantis has also been buying other companies to grow. It bought Share Now, a car-sharing service, and aiMotive, a company that works on self-driving cars. In 2023, Stellantis invested in a Chinese electric vehicle maker called Leapmotor.

In December 2024, Carlos Tavares stepped down as CEO. The company's sales had been dropping, and there were disagreements about his cost-cutting plans. In June 2025, Antonio Filosa became the new CEO. He is expected to focus on improving the company's performance, especially in North America.

Technology and the future

Plans for electric cars

Stellantis has a big plan called "Dare Forward." The goal is to invest €50 billion by 2030 to switch to electric vehicles. The company wants all of its passenger cars sold in Europe to be fully electric by 2030. In the United States, it aims for 50% of its cars and trucks to be electric by the same year.

To do this, Stellantis is developing new types of batteries. Some will use nickel, while others will be cobalt-free lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. These will power cars that can travel between 500 and 800 kilometers (300–500 miles) on a single charge.

Helping the environment

In 2023, Stellantis started a program called SUSTAINera. This program focuses on recycling and using old car parts to build new ones. This helps reduce waste and is better for the environment. The company's goal is to be carbon net zero by 2038, which means it won't add any extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

To help reach this goal, Stellantis is building a large factory in Zaragoza, Spain, to make batteries for its electric cars.

Motorsport

Stellantis is very active in motorsport (car racing). A special department called Stellantis Motorsport manages the racing activities for its brands.

• Citroën Racing focuses on rally racing.
• DS Performance and Maserati compete in the Formula E electric car racing championship.
• Opel Motorsport created an electric rally car, the Opel Corsa-e Rally.
• Peugeot Sport races in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
